Mid Level
Embark on a pivotal journey as a Registered Nurse in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) in Burlington, Vermont, where your clinical expertise and compassionate leadership will guide patients through critical recovery moments toward renewed strength and independence. In this PCU setting, you’ll harmonize acute observation with proactive care planning, coordinating with interdisciplinary teams to optimize outcomes. Your daily contributions will uphold safety, comfort, and patient empowerment, transforming challenging episodes into hopeful progress. Start Date: 02/23/2026. This assignment is weeks-long, designed to elevate your clinical mastery while you experience Vermont’s celebrated balance of small-town charm and outdoor vitality.
Burlington offers a distinctive blend of urban vibrancy and natural beauty, making it an ideal place to grow professionally while enjoying an exceptional quality of life. In this location you’ll benefit from close proximity to Lake Champlain, a thriving arts and dining scene, and easy access to the Green Mountains for hiking, biking, and winter adventures. Vermont’s four-season landscape invites you to decompress after shifts with scenic strolls, farmer’s markets, and community events that reflect a welcoming, outdoorsy spirit. Beyond Burlington, the opportunity exists to work across various locations in the United States, expanding your horizons—each new setting delivering unique patient populations, clinical challenges, and collaboration opportunities that sharpen your specialty skills and broaden your professional network. You’ll find cost-of-living considerations balanced by thoughtful employer programs, making this a compelling step in your nursing trajectory.
In this role, you will manage the comprehensive needs of PCU patients who require vigilant monitoring and nuanced interventions as they transition from acute care to safer, supported recovery. Key responsibilities include telemetry oversight, hemodynamic assessment, medication administration with attention to pharmacy guidelines, wound and IV therapy, symptom management, and rapid response when changes in status occur. You’ll engage in precise documentation, ensure evidence-based practice, and participate in care conferences to align planning with patient goals and family preferences. Discharge planning and patient education will be integral, empowering patients and families to participate confidently in the next phase of healing. Collaboration with physicians, therapists, social workers, and case managers will be essential, as you advocate for timely transitions and continuity of care. This role promises ongoing professional growth in a high‑quality PCU environment, with access to mentorship, specialty certifications, and cross-functional learning that can propel your nursing career forward. Competitive benefits accompany this assignment, including a sign-on bonus and housing assistance to ease relocation, with extension opportunities that recognize your impact and skill.
Our company is grounded in empowering its staff through transparent pathways for advancement, a supportive work climate, and practices that prioritize well-being and professional development. You’ll join a culture that values courage, curiosity, and collaboration, where seasoned mentors are available to guide you and where your voice contributes to process improvements and patient-centered care. The structure is designed to help you grow into greater clinical autonomy, leadership roles, and targeted competencies within the PCU discipline, all while maintaining work‑life balance and professional satisfaction.
This assignment is designed for nurses who are eager to apply evidence-based practice in a dynamic environment, who thrive on teamwork, and who seek a long-term partnership with a company that recognizes the importance of your expertise in improving patient outcomes. If you’re excited by the prospect of expanding your clinical repertoire in VT and potentially beyond, this is your moment to apply your skills in a setting that respects your commitment and nurtures your professional journey.
