Mid Level
Seize the opportunity to elevate patient care as a Travel Registered Nurse in Orthopedics, stationed in New York’s Plattsburgh region with dynamic assignments across the United States. In this role, your expertise in sterile technique, patient assessment, and surgical support will help restore mobility, reduce pain, and empower patients to return to the activities they love. From the precision of a joint replacement case to the meticulous management of post-operative protocols, you’ll bring compassion, skill, and teamwork to the operating room every day. You’ll partner with surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and techs to ensure flawless instrumentation, timely case flow, and a safe, healing environment. This is more than a job; it’s a runway for professional mastery, enabling you to refine techniques, stay current with the latest orthopedic advances, and contribute to outcomes that matter deeply to each patient’s quality of life.
Plattsburgh offers a distinctive blend of small-town warmth and outdoor grandeur. Imagine mornings by the tranquil shores of Lake Champlain, afternoons exploring the scenic Adirondack landscape, and weekend getaways to culturally rich destinations in nearby Vermont and Canada. The region combines access to quality healthcare with a welcoming community that values your dedication. For travel nurses who crave variety, this assignment opens doors to experiences across New York and beyond, allowing you to immerse yourself in different hospital cultures, OR teams, and patient populations. You’ll discover not only the beauty of this state, but also the satisfaction of delivering exceptional orthopedic care in diverse settings, all while enjoying the supportive environment that accompanies a traveling role. The opportunity to work in multiple locations enhances clinical versatility, sharpens decision-making, and expands your professional network—benefits that extend far beyond a single assignment.
Role specifics and benefits: As a travel RN in the OR, you’ll lead and support high-stakes orthopedic procedures, assist surgeons with implants and instrumentation, maintain sterile technique, and ensure patient safety from pre-op through post-anesthesia care. You’ll monitor patient status, manage intraoperative equipment, and collaborate with anesthesia to anticipate needs and minimize risk. The role offers robust professional growth: specialized pathways in orthopedic trauma, arthroscopy, joint reconstruction, and perioperative leadership. You’ll have access to ongoing education, mentorship from seasoned clinicians, and the chance to apply evidence-based practices across varied OR environments. Our compensation is competitive and includes a sign-on or completion bonus, housing assistance or stipend, and the potential for assignment extensions so you can deepen your expertise within the orthopedic specialty. Weekly pay ranges from $2,425 to $2,550, with assignments scheduled in weeks and opportunities to tailor shifts to your preferences. Start Date: 12/18/2025. Duration: Weeks. Guaranteed Hours: 0.0. We provide comprehensive support—from credentialing and travel logistics to 24/7 assistance—so you can focus on delivering excellence in patient care rather than navigating the road ahead.
Company values: Our organization is dedicated to empowering healthcare professionals, advancing careers, and cultivating a supportive environment where your expertise is recognized and your well-being matters. We invest in your growth through transparent communication, structured development plans, and a culture that celebrates collaboration and continuous learning. You’ll be part of a network that values your contribution, offers clear pathways to extended opportunities, and champions work–life balance so you can sustain a long, fulfilling career in orthopedic nursing.
Call to action: If you’re ready to embark on a rewarding journey that combines clinical impact with personal and professional growth, apply today. Join a company that honors your skill, supports your ambitions, and partners with you to shape the future of orthopedic care across dynamic settings and locations. Bring your dedication, your curiosity, and your commitment to excellence—and let’s make a lasting difference together.
Note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
