Adventist Health- Glendale
Mid Level
Embark on an impactful journey as an ICU Registered Nurse in California, Glendale, where your expertise can elevate critical care outcomes and comfort for patients at their most vulnerable moments. In the high-stakes environment of the ICU, your clinical precision, compassionate leadership, and rapid, evidence-based decision making become a lifeline for families and multidisciplinary teams alike. This assignment launches with a start date of 01/05/2026 and is measured in weeks, offering a dynamic cadence of shifts designed to maximize clinical impact while expanding your professional horizons. Beyond the unit, California’s beauty inspires every day—sun-drenched hillsides, sparkling bays, and a vibrant cultural scene—while Glendale offers a welcoming base with access to world-class healthcare facilities, parks, and a thriving culinary and arts landscape that feeds resilience and well-being for clinicians who practice at the top of their license.
Location benefits that go beyond the bedside include the opportunity to practice in the dynamic setting of Glendale, a hub of innovation and patient care excellence in Southern California. You’ll join an environment where evidence-based practice, state-of-the-art technology, and collaborative teams converge to deliver outstanding critical care. For nurses seeking breadth, there is also the possibility to broaden your horizons through assignments at trusted partner facilities nationwide, enabling you to experience diverse ICU protocols, patient populations, and organizational cultures. This program is designed to blend the immediacy and passion of California hospital life with the flexibility to explore additional locales across the United States, enriching your clinical repertoire and professional network.
Role specifics and benefits emphasize growth, responsibility, and comprehensive support. As an ICU RN on this contract, you’ll actively monitor unstable patients, manage complex ventilator and hemodynamic support, titrate vasoactive medications, interpret invasive monitoring data, and collaborate with intensivists, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and case managers to design and adjust patient care plans. You’ll lead crisis response, participate in rounds, mentor junior staff, and contribute to family education and discharge planning. The role offers a clear path for professional development within critical care, including access to specialized certifications, evidence-based practice projects, and potential leadership opportunities as you demonstrate clinical excellence and reliability in demanding environments. Competing benefits are part of the package: a competitive weekly pay range of $1,974–$2,104, bonus potential tied to performance metrics, and housing assistance to ease transition and relocation. Extension opportunities are available, allowing you to build continuity with your care teams and patients while expanding your experiences across shifts and units. A cornerstone of the program is unwavering support from a dedicated team—24/7 assistance for travelers and their families, ready to address scheduling changes, credentialing needs, or clinical questions at any hour. You’ll also find a streamlined onboarding process, access to clinical resources, and a community of travel nurses who share best practices, safety standards, and peer encouragement.
Company values center on empowering staff, advancing careers, and fostering a supportive work environment. The organization is committed to recognizing the expertise ICU nurses bring, investing in ongoing education, and providing structured pathways for career progression within critical care and beyond. A culture of collaboration and mutual respect ensures you have a voice in care planning, quality improvement initiatives, and unit-level decisions, while a robust network of travel coordinators, clinical leads, and workforce partners helps you balance professional ambitions with personal well-being. The environment is designed to celebrate achievements, support skill enhancement, and help you sustain clinical excellence over the long term.
