This is your opportunity to deliver high-impact, patient-centered care across a demanding Med Surg environment, where every shift offers the chance to refine clinical judgment, strengthen teamwork, and elevate the standard of daily care. You’ll support adults navigating complex medical journeys, coordinating closely with physicians, therapists, and case managers to stabilize, educate, and empower patients and their families.

From the lush forests and stunning river canyons to the iconic Portland waterfront and nearby cascades, Oregon’s landscapes invite recovery and renewal after demanding shifts, while the city itself blends outdoor adventure with a thriving arts and culinary scene that keeps you energized and connected to the community you serve.

Portland offers a compelling backdrop for your travel nursing experience. This city fuses urban vitality with easy access to nature, renowned parks, and a robust healthcare network that supports continuous learning and cross-disciplinary collaboration. You’ll be immersed in a community known for sustainability, accessibility, and a welcoming spirit, where food carts, breweries, coffee culture, and cultural events punctuate a work-life rhythm that respects your time and well-being. In addition to the Portland assignment, there may be opportunities to work in other locations across the United States through our traveling program, expanding your clinical repertoire, exposing you to diverse patient populations, and enriching your professional perspective while you remain backed by a dedicated support team.

You’ll participate in rounds, contribute to care coordination and discharge planning, and ensure accurate documentation in electronic medical records. This role emphasizes growth—opportunities to expand critical thinking in acute-medical and post-surgical pathways, broaden proficiency across varied Med Surg specialties, and pursue certifications through internal pathways and mentorship that recognize your evolving expertise.
