Mad River Community Hospital
Mid Level
Step into the ER as a dedicated Registered Nurse in Arcata, California, and seize a role where your clinical expertise translates into meaningful, life-saving impact every shift. In this ER specialty, you’ll be at the heart of fast-paced decision making, performing rapid assessments, initiating life-saving interventions, and coordinating with a multidisciplinary team to deliver timely, high-quality care. You’ll manage triage priorities, administer medications with precision, monitor evolving conditions, and communicate clearly with patients and families during some of their most vulnerable moments. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to shape patient experiences, mentor newer staff, and sharpen your critical thinking under pressure. The assignment is set to begin on 02/03/2026 and will run for a weeks-long period, with a guaranteed 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,850 to $2,032. This is your opportunity to contribute to a community that values expertise, empathy, and the steady, reassuring presence only an ER nurse can provide.
Arcata’s appeal goes beyond the hospital walls. Nestled in Humboldt County, this city offers a blend of redwood forests, coastline views, and a vibrant small-town atmosphere where you can unwind after a demanding shift. Off duty, you can explore scenic trails, coastal drives, and a calendar full of local culture, from farmer’s markets to intimate performances. The opportunity to work in Arcata also comes with the potential to experience other locations across the United States, expanding your professional horizons while maintaining the support network you rely on. Our program emphasizes comfort and convenience for traveling clinicians, with housing options and logistical guidance designed to help you settle quickly and feel at home, even in unfamiliar surroundings. Whether you stay within California’s diverse landscapes or venture to other regions for short-term assignments, you’ll gain invaluable exposure to varied patient populations, facility protocols, and collaborative care models that strengthen your clinical versatility.
Role specifics and benefits are crafted to support your professional growth and well-being. In addition to delivering exemplary patient-centered care, you’ll take advantage of ongoing opportunities to refine assessment skills, procedural competencies, and evidence-based practices within emergency medicine. You’ll work closely with physicians, respiratory therapists, phlebotomy teams, and ancillary staff to optimize throughput and safety, while also mentoring peers and contributing to quality improvement initiatives. The position offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes a competitive compensation structure, a signing or completion bonus, and housing assistance to ease your transition to a new locale. You’ll also have access to contract extensions that align with your career plans and personal goals, providing continuity while you build depth in your ER specialty. A cornerstone of our program is 24/7 support—our travel team is available around the clock to assist with housing, credentialing, shift changes, or any on-the-road need that arises, so you can focus on delivering excellent clinical care.
