Valley View Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a transformative role as a Registered Nurse specializing in Post-Surgical care in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. This contract invites skilled nurses to influence patients during a pivotal recovery, guiding them from the OR to safe, confident discharge. Beginning 02/17/2026, you’ll join a team that values clinical excellence, clear communication, and precise care coordination. You’ll perform post-operative monitoring, wound assessment, pain management, early mobilization, and patient education, ensuring families feel informed and supported. With guaranteed hours and a weekly pay range of $2,473–$2,635, your expertise is recognized and rewarded. Beyond the hospital walls, Colorado’s mountains and vibrant communities offer a lifestyle that renews your energy and deepens your purpose. This is more than a job; it’s a path to advance your post-surgical specialization while enjoying the state’s rich culture and outdoor beauty. This assignment is a contract lasting several weeks, with guaranteed hours.
Glenwood Springs blends small-town warmth with outdoor adventure. Soak in nearby springs after shifts, hike scenic canyons, or explore the Historic Downtown. The role also provides flexibility to work in diverse locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical repertoire and professional network. Each placement exposes you to different patient populations and care settings, from orthopedic recovery floors to general surgical units, refining your care plans and protocols. Our support makes relocations smooth: onboarding, credentialing, and housing assistance where available, with clear expectations about the experiences you’ll gain. You’ll also benefit from 24/7 support as you travel with the company, ensuring you’re never navigating a new assignment alone.
Role specifics and benefits: As a Post-Surgical RN, you’ll manage post-anesthesia recovery, monitor vitals, manage drains and dressings, prevent complications, and optimize analgesia.

Documentation, pain tracking, and patient education will be central, with attention to mobility, nutrition, wound care, and safe transitions home. You’ll have opportunities for growth within the specialty: pursue advanced certification, participate in quality improvement, mentor staff on assignment, and lead extended contracts. Benefits include a contract bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and potential extensions based on performance. We provide comprehensive support, including 24/7 access to clinical consultants, credentialing specialists, and travel coordinators who handle orientation, licensure, and ongoing education. This structure balances clinical autonomy with collaboration, strengthening outcomes and expanding your resume across post-surgical care—from preoperative teaching to discharge planning and transition.
