Utica, NY
Contracted
MVHS Wynn Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse specializing in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) in Utica, New York, where your expertise translates into calmer recoveries, safer transitions, and enhanced patient outcomes every shift. In this PCU assignment, you’ll blend compassionate, precise bedside care with high-level clinical assessment to monitor patients who require closer observation and advanced therapies. Imagine guiding complex cases through early recovery phases, collaborating with physicians, charge nurses, and support teams, and using your critical thinking to personalize care plans. Your work will not only impact individual lives but also strengthen the health system’s ability to deliver steady, high-quality care. New York State’s charm is an added benefit—from the tranquil beauty of the Adirondack foothills to vibrant urban culture within reach, the state offers a rich backdrop for professional and personal growth. And for those drawn to variety, this program also provides opportunities to broaden your horizons across different locations in the United States, expanding your clinical perspectives in diverse settings.
Location benefits extend beyond the clinical floor. Utica, nestled in upstate New York, combines small-city warmth with access to regional amenities, affordable living options, and a welcoming community that values healthcare workers. You’ll enjoy a supportive environment where teamwork and mentorship are prioritized, helping you refine critical PCU skills such as rapid patient assessment, hemodynamic monitoring, IV therapy, telemetry interpretation, and post-surgical or medically complex patient care. The broader opportunity to work in other U.S. locations can enrich your professional journey, exposing you to varied patient populations, hospital cultures, and interdisciplinary collaboration. It’s a chance to expand your clinical repertoire while maintaining the stability of a structured travel nursing program backed by 24/7 corporate support and turnkey resources designed to minimize stress and maximize patient care.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to empower you to excel. As a PCU RN, you’ll be responsible for comprehensive patient assessment, ongoing monitoring of vital signs, interpretation of telemetry, administration and verification of medications, IV management, wound care, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams to develop and implement individualized care plans. You’ll coordinate with physicians and ancillary staff to ensure timely escalation when patient status changes, participate in care transitions with discharge planning, and provide patient and family education to promote understanding and engagement in care. The position fosters professional growth through hands-on leadership opportunities, unit-based preceptorship, and potential pathway toward critical care specialization or charge nurse responsibilities as you demonstrate expertise. In addition to competitive compensation, this assignment includes a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions, giving you the flexibility to design a career trajectory that aligns with your goals. A robust support system accompanies you—our team offers 24/7 assistance as you travel, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone while you focus on delivering exceptional care.
Company values center on empowering staff, recognizing expertise, and championing career advancement within a supportive, collaborative environment. You’ll be part of a culture that prioritizes continuous learning, safe practices, and open communication, where nurses are encouraged to bring questions, propose innovations, and mentor peers. You’ll find a workplace that respects your contributions, provides resources to help you grow, and celebrates milestones along your journey—from clinical certifications to leadership roles. The organization believes that investing in its people translates to better patient experiences, stronger teams, and a more resilient healthcare system overall.
