Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Med Surg, a pivotal role that blends hands-on patient care with the opportunity to grow within a high-energy hospital environment. Based in Rochester, New York, this assignment starts on 01/26/2026 and is designed as an initial engagement of several weeks with the potential to extend based on staffing needs and performance. You’ll earn competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,190 to $1,268, with the flexibility of contract extensions and a supportive pathway to advance within the Med Surg discipline. While hours are not guaranteed, you’ll receive comprehensive orientation, ongoing clinical mentorship, and access to a dedicated team that’s ready to back you every step of the way.
New York State is a tapestry of beauty, culture, and opportunity, and Rochester sits at its heart. Beyond the clinical corridors, you’ll discover a region rich with charm and variety. From the scenic shores of Lake Ontario to the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes, upstate New York offers outdoor adventures, seasonal festivals, and vibrant urban centers. In Rochester, you’ll find a thriving arts scene, delicious cuisine, historic neighborhoods, and family-friendly parks that invite exploration during downtime. And if you ever crave a broader perspective, this travel nursing program can present opportunities to work in additional locations across the United States, expanding your professional network and enriching your practice with diverse clinical experiences. The area’s affordable living, strong community ties, and convenient access to hospitals and specialty clinics create a supportive backdrop for focused clinical practice and personal wellbeing.
Location benefits go beyond the city line. Working in Rochester gives you exposure to a leading medical ecosystem, cross-functional teams, and the chance to collaborate with physicians, RNs, and allied health professionals who are committed to patient-centered care. You’ll experience the rhythm of a regional hub that pairs academic resources with community care, offering you a stable yet dynamic environment to refine essential nursing competencies. If you prefer, you can transition between different U.S. locations through our flexible travel program, enjoying unique settings—from bustling urban hospitals to quieter community facilities—each with its own flavor of patient populations, protocols, and teamwork dynamics. Our program is designed to maximize professional growth while honoring work-life balance, letting you savor local attractions and return to your assignment rested and motivated.
Role specifics and benefits start with the core responsibilities you’ll perform on Med Surg units: patient assessment and monitoring, vital sign surveillance, medication administration under physician orders, wound care, basic IV therapy assistance, documentation in electronic health records, and prompt escalation of changes in patient status to the supervising nurse. You’ll contribute to care plans, participate in rounds, assist with procedures, and support discharge planning and patient education. You’ll partner with registered nurses to ensure safe, efficient, and compassionate care for a diverse patient population. The role offers clear pathways for professional growth within Med Surg, including deeper clinical decision-making, enhanced independent patient management, and opportunities to mentor new staff as you demonstrate clinical proficiency and leadership potential. The program emphasizes a robust orientation, clinical rounding, and continuous education credits to help you stay current with best practices and evolving standards of care. In addition to robust clinical exposure, you’ll receive a competitive benefits package that includes a signing bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and the possibility of extension opportunities should your assignment be a great fit for you and for our facilities.
A key pillar of the experience is comprehensive, 24/7 support while you travel with the company. You’ll have a dedicated support team available around the clock to assist with housing logistics, credentialing questions, schedule coordination, and any on-site needs that arise, ensuring you can focus on delivering high-quality patient care. The program is built to be flexible yet structured, pairing the stability of a real hospital environment with the variety and enrichment of travel nursing—allowing you to expand your clinical repertoire while maintaining the continuity of care your patients deserve. We also emphasize a culture that empowers staff: constructive feedback, opportunities for career advancement within the nursing ladder, and a workplace that values your commitment, expertise, and well-being.
Company values center on empowerment, mentorship, and an unwavering commitment to a supportive work environment. We aim to accelerate your professional development through structured competency checks, access to clinical mentors, and the encouragement you need to pursue specialty certifications and advanced practice pathways. You’ll join a community that recognizes your expertise, respects your perspective, and invests in your growth while providing consistent, reliable support during every assignment cycle.
