Samaritan Medical Center
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Registered Nurse in Med Surg Tele, with a focused assignment in Watertown, New York, beginning 03/30/2026. In this role you will weave compassionate, patient-centered care with the precision of telemetry, guiding adults through acute medical conditions toward recovery and discharge. Every shift offers the chance to make a tangible difference in someone’s health trajectory, to mentor teammates, and to advance your clinical expertise in a fast-paced, supportive setting. And as you answer this call to care, you can also savor the beauty of New York—a state of pristine landscapes and vibrant regional charm. From the rugged serenity of the Adirondack foothills to the sparkling waters and thousand islands along Lake Ontario, New York invites renewal, exploration, and balance between professional dedication and personal well‑being.
Watertown sits at the heart of a welcoming North Country community, where outdoor opportunities meet practical, family-friendly living. You’ll be part of a stable healthcare network that values your voice and your growing leadership potential while offering an inviting cost of living, convenient amenities, and access to excellent schools and cultural experiences. The location is a true gateway for a traveling nurse who wants meaningful clinical impact without sacrificing quality time for personal pursuits. And for clinicians who prefer broader horizons, this assignment can be paired with the chance to practice in other locations across the United States, expanding your professional footprint while keeping your core nursing passions front and center.
Role specifics and benefits: As a Med Surg Tele RN, you’ll oversee adult patients with medical and telemetry needs, balancing acute symptom management with meticulous observation, timely interventions, and comprehensive care planning. You’ll perform rounds with physicians and interdisciplinary teams, monitor evolving telemetry data, administer IV therapies, manage wound and drainage care, and coordinate with case managers to streamline safe transitions to home or post-acute settings. Your clinical judgment will guide pain control, electrolyte stabilization, and coordinated discharge planning, all while ensuring patient education is clear, compassionate, and culturally attuned. This assignment provides a robust pathway for professional growth within the Med Surg Tele specialty—opportunities to refine risk stratification, enhance telemetry interpretation, and lead quality improvement initiatives that elevate patient outcomes. You’ll receive a competitive compensation package, including a welcome/sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and options for contract extensions that align with your career goals. A guaranteed 36 hours per week ensures steady predictability in your schedule, with weekly pay between $2,126 and $2,155 (before taxes), reflecting the demanding skill set and reliability you bring to the unit. Start date is 03/30/2026, with the position structured for multiple weeks, designed to fit your timeline while meeting facility needs. In addition, you’ll have access to extended clinical orientations, mentorship from seasoned Med Surg Tele leaders, and ongoing education support that empowers you to stay current with best practices and evidence-based care.
Comprehensive support and lifestyle compatibility are at the core of this program. You will enjoy 24/7 support from the traveling team, ensuring you never navigate a shift alone—whether you’re acclimating to a new unit, coordinating with off-site staffing resources, or troubleshooting logistical challenges. Housing assistance helps you locate comfortable, convenient accommodations near your assigned facility, so you can focus on patient care. The arrangement also accommodates extension opportunities, enabling you to deepen your impact within the same facility or explore adjacent units and specialties as your interests evolve. A robust benefits framework backs your work, including access to clinical resources, leadership development, and potential incentives that reward performance and continuity of care.
Company values: Our organization is dedicated to empowering clinicians, cultivating a culture of growth, collaboration, and respect. We believe in investing in your career—whether through upskilling opportunities, certification support, or pathways toward leadership roles within the Med Surg Tele trajectory. You’ll join a team that places patient outcomes at the forefront while honoring the well-being and professional aspirations of every nurse. The environment is designed to be supportive and inclusive, with open communication, peer mentorship, and a shared commitment to work-life balance—because sustainable nursing excellence comes from teams that feel valued and heard.
