Travel Registered Nurse PCU Job
Utica, NY
Contracted
MVHS Wynn Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on an enriching journey as a Registered Nurse in PCU, where every shift is a chance to elevate patient care, mentor teammates, and deepen your clinical expertise in a high-impact setting. In Utica, New York, you’ll join a dedicated team delivering compassionate, visible care to adults navigating progressive care needs. This assignment is designed to propel your professional growth while you directly influence outcomes, comfort, and recovery. Picture yourself blending evidence-based practice with personal connection, guiding patients and families through complex decision-making, and collaborating with specialists to create seamless care transitions. And beyond the hospital walls, New York’s Upstate landscape offers a tapestry of beautiful places to explore—historic streets, scenic countryside, and fresh regional cuisine—providing balance and inspiration as you advance your career. Our program also opens doors to opportunities across the U.S., expanding your clinical horizons while you stay rooted in strong, local patient impact.
Location benefits: Utica sits at the heart of upstate New York, offering a welcoming community feel with access to parks, cultural events, and a robust healthcare network that supports your professional ambitions. The city combines the intimacy of a tight-knit medical community with the resources of a well-equipped hospital system, making it easier to collaborate, learn, and grow. For nurses who crave variety, our travel program provides the chance to rotate through different units and facilities nationwide, enriching your clinical perspective and expanding your professional toolkit. You’ll benefit from reliable housing assistance, competitive pay, and a schedule that values work-life balance, enabling you to experience the region’s seasonal beauty—from quiet riverside strolls to nearby trails perfect for a weekend escape. And if you’re drawn to the broader New York experience, you’ll be within reach of the Adirondacks, charming small towns, and culturally rich cities, all while staying anchored to a supportive team that puts your well-being first. This position also offers the flexibility to explore multiple practice environments, with the stability of guaranteed hours and structured orientation to help you settle in quickly.
Role specifics and benefits: As a PCU RN, your responsibilities center on delivering patient-centered care to adults with varying acuity who are transitioning from critical to step-down care. You’ll perform comprehensive assessments, monitor telemetry, administer medications and IV therapies safely, manage post-procedure recovery, and respond rapidly to changes in patient status. Your critical thinking, meticulous documentation, and collaboration with physicians, case managers, and allied health professionals will drive effective care plans, timely discharge planning, and targeted patient education. You’ll mentor less experienced staff, participate in quality improvement initiatives, and contribute to evidence-based pathways that enhance outcomes. The role offers strong professional growth within PCU, with opportunities to advance into leadership, charge responsibilities, or cross-training in related units. You’ll enjoy a competitive benefits package, including a sign-on bonus, housing assistance or stipends, and the potential for contract extensions that align with your career goals. Our program emphasizes long-term skill expansion, including advanced monitoring, palliative care principles, and transitional care coordination. You’ll have access to extensive support services, such as a dedicated travel concierge, clinical supervisors, and 24/7 assistance as you travel with the company, ensuring you’re never navigating solo through new assignments. The assignment provides guaranteed hours of 36 per week, with a start date on or around 04/20/2026, and a scope designed to challenge you while honoring your expertise and autonomy.
Company values: Our organization is built on empowering nurses to advance—through structured mentorship, continuous education, and a culture that celebrates diverse experience and patient-focused care. We prioritize a supportive work environment where collaboration, respect, and accountability guide every interaction. With transparent pathways for career progression, regular feedback, and leadership accessibility, you’ll feel valued and heard as you shape your trajectory in nursing practice. The company is committed to fostering resilience, work-life balance, and a sense of community among travelers and permanent staff alike, ensuring you have the resources and encouragement to excel while maintaining personal well-being.
