In this role you will deliver compassionate, evidence-based care to adults navigating complex medical-surgical journeys, guiding patients toward recovery while advancing your clinical expertise within a supportive, patient-centered environment. You’ll assess, monitor, and intervene with precision, coordinating multidisciplinary care that improves outcomes and strengthens family engagement. Your dedication will elevate the standard of care on a fast-paced Med Surg unit, where teamwork, learning, and professional growth are the norm. This opportunity blends clinical excellence with a lifestyle that celebrates island culture, making every shift meaningful and every challenge solvable. Separately, you can also reflect on Hawaii’s stunning settings—lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, pristine beaches, and volcanic landscapes—that enrich your life beyond the bedside.

This role also offers pathways for professional growth within the Med Surg specialty, with mentorship from experienced colleagues, opportunities to pursue unit leadership tracks, and access to specialty certifications and continuing education that bolster your clinical profile.
- Competitive benefits and incentives: The package is designed to recognize your skills and dedication, featuring a weekly pay range of $1,847-$1,894, with a bonus program that rewards performance and successful contract milestones.
