Travel Registered Nurse ER Job
Kealakekua, HI
Contracted
Kona Community Hospital
Mid Level
Step into an energizing ER nursing opportunity in Kealakekua, Hawaii, where your urgent care expertise meets the beauty of the Aloha State and a mission to heal that resonates with every shift. As an ER Registered Nurse, you’ll be at the frontline of life-saving care, delivering rapid assessment, decisive intervention, and compassionate support to patients in a high-acuity environment. This assignment begins March 9, 2026, offering an initial multi-week engagement with the potential for extension, so you can plan for ongoing impact and growth. You’ll earn competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,590 to $2,776, with final compensation confirmed during the hiring process, reflecting your experience and shift mix. If you crave professional challenge intertwined with the serenity of island life, this is your pathway to meaningful impact and personal renewal in one remarkable package.
Kealakekua sits on the captivating Big Island, where turquoise waves meet black lava coastlines, coffee farms perfume the air, and sunsets spill across lush valleys. Working here means not only delivering essential care but also absorbing the rhythms of a place where outdoor adventures are part of everyday life—snorkeling along pristine reefs, hiking through tropical rainforests, exploring hidden waterfalls, and enjoying warm island hospitality. The role also offers the flexibility to support care across the U.S. as travel assignments open doors to diverse communities, expanding your clinical perspective and network while keeping your skills sharp and adaptable. Expect comprehensive housing assistance and logistics support that ease transitions, so you can focus on patient care and professional growth from day one.
In this ER nursing role, you’ll assume broad responsibilities designed to sharpen your clinical judgment and refine your leadership presence. Responsibilities include triage and rapid assessment of high-acuity patients, initiating and adjusting treatment plans, administering medications and IV therapies, performing wound care and procedures within scope, and coordinating with physicians, respiratory, radiology, and support teams to ensure seamless patient flow. You’ll monitor vital signs, recognize deteriorating conditions, implement code- and trauma-management protocols, prepare patients for transport, and provide clear, compassionate education to patients and families. Documentation in the electronic health record will be precise and timely, and you’ll engage in debriefings and case reviews that promote evidence-based practice. There’s also room for professional growth through certifications, cross-training opportunities, and organizational pathways toward leadership roles. The assignment supports your career by blending hands-on expertise with ongoing learning, mentorship, and access to resources that foster clinical excellence.
Benefits extend beyond a competitive wage. You’ll have access to a sign-on or completion bonus and robust housing assistance to make your stay comfortable, whether you’re island-based or exploring other U.S. locations during and after the contract. The package also includes extension opportunities that enable you to lengthen your stay if you wish to deepen your involvement with the team or pursue a broader scope of practice. You’ll receive dedicated 24/7 support from a travel-healthcare partner, ensuring that clinical, logistical, and personal needs are addressed promptly while you navigate assignments across different sites. This level of sustained support is designed to reduce friction, maximize your time with patients, and empower you to maintain peak performance in demanding environments.
Our company values your expertise and your growth. We’re committed to empowering staff through transparent career pathways, ongoing education, and a culture that honors hard work, resilience, and compassion. You’ll join a community that prioritizes a respectful, collaborative, and inclusive atmosphere where nurses are heard, recognized, and supported every step of the way. From onboarding through each successive assignment, you’ll find a partner in development, a structure that respects work-life balance, and a network of peers who share your dedication to exceptional patient care and professional advancement.
If you’re ready to apply, seize this opportunity to blend high-stakes clinical work with the rich experiences of Hawaii and other U.S. communities. Bring your ER expertise, your curiosity, and your commitment to patient-centered care to a team that values your contribution and your professional development.
