Embark on a meaningful journey as a Registered Nurse specializing in Medical-Surgical (Med‑Surg) in Rochester, New York, starting 01/20/2026. This role places you at the heart of patient care, delivering comprehensive Med‑Surg nursing with compassion, clinical precision, and a collaborative spirit. You will assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care for adults across a spectrum of medical conditions, execute complex therapies, monitor vitals and progress, administer medications, manage IV therapy, assist with procedures, and coordinate safe, timely discharges. Each shift offers you the chance to mentor newer staff, advocate for patient and family education, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that raise the standard of care. Beyond the immediate clinical duties, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your expertise in acuity management, post‑operative care, complex wound and drain care, and rapid response coordination. Picture the impact you can have on each patient’s trajectory, supported by a team that values your judgment and dedication. And when you’re ready to unwind, the state’s beauty awaits: from the Finger Lakes’ sparkling waters and scenic trails to vibrant riverfront districts, upstate New York offers cultural richness, year‑round outdoor recreation, and communities that feel like home.

Locally, you’ll enjoy the advantages of a robust healthcare ecosystem, reputable teaching hospitals, and convenient access to cultural events, seasonal festivals, and lakeside getaways along the Genesee River and nearby Finger Lakes region.
Role specifics and benefits include a clear path to professional development within the Med‑Surg specialty. You’ll work with experienced nurses, physicians, and support staff to coordinate patient care plans, implement evidence‑based nursing interventions, and contribute to safe patient outcomes. The position emphasizes leadership opportunities, ongoing skills refreshers, and potential specialty certifications with targeted support. Financially, the package is designed to be competitive and rewarding: weekly pay ranges from $2,101 to $2,250, with the added attractiveness of a sign‑on bonus, housing assistance, and the possibility of contract extensions to suit your career goals. While guaranteed hours are listed as 0.0, you’ll have access to flexible scheduling, consistent shifts when possible, and the option to extend assignments to deepen your clinical experience. Full support is never far away—our team provides 24/7 assistance for travelers, ensuring you have help whenever and wherever you need it, from housing logistics to on‑site orientation and clinical support.
