Step into a rewarding opportunity as a Registered Nurse in Acute Care in Marietta, Georgia, and make a tangible difference at the bedside while expanding your clinical horizon. In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of patient-centered care, guiding families through complex health journeys, coordinating with physicians and multidisciplinary teams, and delivering the high-quality support that turns hopeful moments into healing outcomes. Georgia’s warmth and vitality provide the perfect backdrop for your professional journey, whether you’re drawn to the historic charm of Marietta’s square, the sweeping views of nearby Kennesaw Mountain, or the easy access to the cultural richness of Atlanta. Georgia’s varied landscapes—from lush forests to vibrant urban centers—offer a canvas for both personal and professional growth, inviting you to explore new places while staying rooted in the high standard of care you bring to the bedside.

Location benefits: Working in Marietta places you in a community that blends small-town hospitality with the resources of a thriving metro area. You’ll experience the best of southern living—friendly colleagues, supportive leadership, and a focus on work–life balance—while enjoying access to outstanding dining, cultural events, and outdoor recreation just a short drive away. The flexibility of travel nursing also opens doors to opportunities across the United States, allowing you to broaden your clinical exposure, learn distinct care protocols, and build a diverse resume that showcases your adaptability and expertise. If you love variety, you’ll appreciate the chance to rotate through different acute-care units, from high-acuity telemetry floors to fast-paced post-operative teams, each presenting unique challenges that sharpen your clinical skills. And when you want the serenity of Georgia’s parks or the excitement of a new city, you’ll have options to choose experiences that align with your personal goals.

Role specifics and benefits: As an Acute Care RN, you’ll deliver compassionate, evidence-based care to medically complex patients across diverse diagnoses. Your responsibilities will include comprehensive patient assessment, timely medication administration, careful IV therapy and line management, and meticulous monitoring of vitals and telemetry where applicable. You’ll participate in the development and execution of individualized care plans, collaborate with physicians, case managers, and ancillary teams, and drive discharge planning that supports smooth transitions home or to another level of care. You’ll educate patients and families on conditions, treatment plans, medications, and what to expect during recovery, ensuring clear communication and shared decision-making. Your role will also involve contributing to quality improvement initiatives, adhering to safety protocols, and maintaining precise documentation in electronic health records.

You’ll have ample room for professional growth within acute care, with access to continuing education, mentorship, and opportunities to advance into specialty routes such as critical care, cardiology, or transitional care depending on unit needs and your interests. The position includes a competitive package designed to support your life and your career: a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and opportunities to extend contracts for longer-term assignments that align with your personal and professional plans. You’ll benefit from comprehensive compensation that includes weekly pay within the range of $1,599–$1,664, with the reality that hours and pay rates can vary by location and assignment. In addition, you’ll be supported by a robust framework of 24/7 assistance from the travel company, ensuring you have experienced guidance and emergency support whenever you need it, wherever you travel for work. Beyond clinical duties, you’ll be part of a culture that prioritizes patient safety, teamwork, and the well-being of the staff who deliver care each day. You’ll also enjoy benefits such as health, dental, and vision coverage, retirement planning options, and paid time off, designed to help you protect yourself and your family while you pursue your professional objectives.
