Columbia, MO
Contracted
Boone Health
Mid Level
Step into a fast-paced, life-saving role as a Registered Nurse in ER, based in Columbia, Missouri, and join a team that thrives on calm expertise under pressure. As you deploy critical assessment, rapid stabilization, and decisive care, you’ll help patients at their most vulnerable moments, guiding families with clarity and compassion. This is your opportunity to shape outcomes in a setting that values your skill, your judgment, and your dedication. In addition to the rewarding clinical impact, Missouri offers a rich tapestry of culture, community, and natural beauty—from the scenic Missouri River corridors to vibrant college-town energy in Columbia, with nearby craft breweries, diverse dining, arts, and outdoor adventures. You may also have the chance to experience a breadth of locations across the United States, expanding your professional footprint while maintaining the core support that keeps you thriving.
Location benefits extend beyond the hospital walls. Columbia, tucked in the heart of Missouri, blends a welcoming, walkable city rhythm with exceptional access to outdoor recreation. You’ll enjoy a thriving educational community, family-friendly neighborhoods, and a reasonable cost of living that supports your plans off shift. For travel opportunities, you gain exposure to varied patient populations and ED workflows across different facilities, enriching your clinical toolkit and your professional network. Whether you prefer the stability of a home base in Missouri or the adventure of time-limited assignments across the country, this role pairs strong local roots with the potential for wide-ranging experience, all while keeping you connected to 24/7 support from your travel partner.
Role specifics and benefits come together to deliver a compelling, well-rounded travel ER nursing experience. In this position, you’ll triage and manage a high-volume emergency department, performing rapid assessments, initiating life-saving interventions, coordinating with physicians and ancillary teams, and documenting meticulously to ensure continuity of care. You’ll lead patient and family communication with empathy, prioritize safety and throughput, and adapt to evolving acuity and crowding in a dynamic environment. The opportunity for professional growth is real: expand your expertise in trauma, pediatrics, trauma-informed care, and acute adult care protocols, pursue charge-nurse responsibilities as you prove your leadership, and participate in ongoing education and simulation sessions. The role is designed to reward your expertise with pathways to extended assignments, higher-level shifts, and broader scope within the ER. In addition to a competitive weekly pay range of $1,947-$2,058, you’ll have access to housing assistance, making mobility simpler, and extension opportunities that allow you to tailor the length of your engagement to fit your goals. You’ll enjoy guaranteed hours at 36 per week, providing both financial stability and predictable planning for your personal life. A dedicated support team is available around the clock to assist with scheduling, logistics, and clinical questions, ensuring you are never navigating the road alone while traveling with the company.
Company values guide every aspect of your experience. This organization is devoted to empowering its nursing staff, investing in career advancement, and cultivating a supportive, collaborative work environment. You’ll find mentors and peers who value ongoing learning, constructive feedback, and a culture of recognition for your contributions. The commitment to staff well-being extends beyond patient care, with resources and programs aimed at maintaining your resilience, work-life balance, and professional satisfaction. By joining, you become part of a community that believes in lifting each other up, celebrating successes, and building a lasting foundation for your nursing career.
