Step into a rewarding travel nursing opportunity as a Registered Nurse in Short Stay, based in Portland, Oregon. This role invites experienced professionals to deliver high‑quality, patient‑centered care in fast‑paced short‑stay units where every shift matters. Beginning March 30, 2026, you’ll join a dynamic network that supports your goals for weeks at a time, offering competitive weekly pay in the range of $407 to $437 and the flexibility to align assignments with your professional development and personal life. This isn’t just a temporary posting; it’s a path to meaningful impact, continuous learning, and a broader professional footprint across diverse communities. While you help patients regain independence and comfort, you can savor Oregon’s exceptional surroundings—from Portland’s eclectic neighborhoods, over the bridges to the scenic Columbia River Gorge, to the pine‑shaded trails near Mount Hood, and the cultural richness of the Willamette Valley. The opportunity to work in Portland also opens doors to other locations across the United States, enriching your clinical experience with a broad spectrum of patients, settings, and teamwork dynamics.

Location benefits come alive in Portland’s vibrant, forward‑thinking environment. You’ll experience the city’s renowned culinary scene, festivals, and a strong sense of community, all while practicing in facilities that emphasize patient safety, evidence‑based care, and interprofessional collaboration. For nurses who relish variety, the program offers the possibility to rotate through facilities across the U.S., gifting you exposure to urban medical centers, suburban campuses, and community hospitals that foster innovation and excellence. The region’s natural beauty provides a refreshing backdrop for a demanding career: days off can be spent strolling riverside paths, exploring easy coastal escapes, or taking a weekend get‑away to the Cascade foothills. This balance of professional challenge and lifestyle richness makes Portland an ideal hub for Short Stay nursing.

Role specifics and benefits are designed to empower you to grow while making a difference. As a Short Stay RN, you’ll assess, monitor, and respond to patient needs, perform comprehensive med‑surg and post‑operative care, manage IV therapy and wound care, administer medications, and coordinate with physicians, case managers, and families to ensure seamless admission, discharge, and follow‑up. You’ll lead care planning for diverse patient populations, prioritize safety and quality metrics, and document clearly to support transitions of care. You’ll participate in evidence‑based protocols, contribute to unit quality initiatives, and pursue opportunities to expand your credentials within the Short Stay discipline. Career advancement opportunities abound—whether you aim to deepen clinical expertise, mentor new nurses, or explore leadership pathways in a travel‑friendly environment. The role is complemented by competitive benefits, including a bonus structure, housing assistance, and the potential for extension opportunities so you can continue to build continuity of care with the teams you trust. You’ll receive robust, 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring that you’re never navigating a shift alone, whether you’re on day, evening, or night assignments. The workflow emphasizes collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, efficient handoffs, and proactive communication to optimize patient outcomes across transitions of care.

Company values center on empowering staff, nurturing professional growth, and cultivating a supportive, inclusive work culture. This organization believes that nurses thrive when they are trusted, equipped, and encouraged to pursue lifelong learning. You’ll have access to orientation resources, continuing education opportunities, peer mentorship, and leadership engagement designed to recognize your contributions and accelerate your career trajectory. The emphasis on work‑life harmony, transparent feedback, and a respectful environment ensures you feel valued as a vital member of the care ecosystem. By choosing this path, you join a company that places your development at the forefront, offering structured pathways to advance within Short Stay and related specialties while maintaining the autonomy and flexibility that travel nursing provides.
