Seize an impactful opportunity as a Travel Registered Nurse in Med Surg in Rochester, New York, with a start date of 01/20/2026. This assignment places you on a dynamic medical-surgical unit where your clinical expertise will directly influence patient outcomes, from early recovery to discharge planning. Imagine coordinating care plans, refining assessment skills, and guiding patients through complex post-operative journeys, all while expanding your professional repertoire in a city renowned for innovation, culture, and resilience. Beyond the bedside, you’ll discover the beauty and energy of New York state: tranquil lake shores along Lake Ontario, the rolling charm of vibrant neighborhoods, world-class museums, and the seasonal richness of festivals and markets that make Rochester a compelling place to grow both personally and professionally.
Working in Rochester offers a compelling blend of urban opportunity and community warmth. You’ll be part of a healthcare system that values teamwork, evidence-based practice, and patient-centered care, with access to modern facilities, robust interdisciplinary collaboration, and a patient population that presents a meaningful, varied clinical mix. The region’s meandering parks and waterfront trails invite restorative downtime, while proximity to the Finger Lakes region promises weekend adventures—from wine trails to scenic gorges. If you’re drawn to travel, the program also opens pathways to additional locations across the United States, broadening your exposure to diverse hospital cultures, patient demographics, and clinical protocols.

In Med Surg, your day-to-day responsibilities will center on delivering high-quality nursing care across a broad spectrum of medical conditions. You’ll perform thorough patient assessments, monitor evolving clinical status, administer medications and therapies, manage IV lines and devices, and coordinate with physicians, case managers, and ancillary staff to optimize treatment timeliness and safety. Your role includes wound care, post-operative monitoring, pain management, and patient education tailored to diverse families and learning styles. You’ll lead rounds, participate in care planning, and contribute to discharge readiness by clarifying medications, follow-up appointments, and home-care needs. There are plentiful opportunities for professional growth: you can assume charge nurse responsibilities, precept new hires, or pursue specialty certifications with structured support. The assignment offers a competitive weekly pay range of $2,285 to $2,308, with potential bonuses and housing assistance to ease relocation and housing logistics. While the base hours and duration are marked as Weeks with Guaranteed Hours of 0.0, there are extension opportunities designed to deepen your expertise in Med Surg and broaden your clinical horizon, should you choose to continue.
Throughout the assignment, you’ll receive robust, 24/7 support from a dedicated team committed to your success. A field liaison and real-time assistance are available to address scheduling, credentialing, and on-site integration, ensuring you stay focused on patient care rather than logistical hurdles. This travel experience is designed to be seamless and supportive, allowing you to maintain clinical autonomy while benefiting from a network of peers, mentors, and resources that celebrate nursing excellence. You’ll have access to ongoing professional development resources, mentorship, and a community of travelers who share best practices, tips, and encouragement to help you thrive on every assignment.
Our company values empowering clinicians as the cornerstone of every assignment. We invest in your career advancement through structured pathways, targeted feedback, and opportunities to broaden your scope within medical-surgical care and beyond. You’ll find a supportive environment that recognizes your expertise, respects your professional voice, and provides mentorship opportunities to help you achieve your long-term goals.
