Step into a pivotal ICU nursing role in Pontiac, Michigan, where your expertise can shape lives in the most demanding moments. As a Registered Nurse specializing in the ICU, you will be at the heart of patient stabilization, advanced therapies, and collaborative care that restores hope. This weeks‑long assignment begins January 12, 2026, offering a structured schedule with 36 guaranteed hours per week and a competitive pay range of $1,799 to $1,932 per week. Imagine the impact you can have, from critical care units to rapid response teams, guiding families through high‑stakes care, and refining your practice within a supportive network that values precision, empathy, and professional growth. And beyond the hospital walls, Michigan beckons with its diverse scenery—coastlines along the Great Lakes, urban culture in metro Detroit, rolling inland parks, and quiet small towns—providing a backdrop that recharges your spirit as you deliver exceptional care.
Pontiac offers a community‑centered environment with access to reputable healthcare facilities, continuing education opportunities, and the chance to work near family‑friendly neighborhoods, sports venues, museums, and outdoor trails. If you ever crave broader experiences, the program places you in various locations across the U.S., letting you rotate through different ICU populations, hospital cultures, and patient needs. The exposure broadens clinical acumen and builds resilience, all while maintaining a consistent schedule that respects your personal life. Imagine sharpening your skills in high‑acuity settings, then returning home with fresh perspectives to share with colleagues and mentees. This flexibility supports your growth as a clinician while honoring the rhythms that matter to you and your loved ones.
Key responsibilities in this ICU RN role include rigorous patient assessment and continuous hemodynamic monitoring, ventilator management, septic shock protocols, and complex infusion therapies. You’ll implement and adjust care plans in collaboration with intensivists, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, and bedside RNs, interpret evolving lab data, and respond swiftly to patient condition changes. Your leadership in rounds, family communication, and care coordination will be essential to achieving optimal outcomes. The position offers a clear pathway for professional growth within the ICU specialty: pursue advanced certifications, deepen critical care competencies, and progress into mentorship or leadership roles as you gain experience. The benefits package is designed to attract and retain top talent: a competitive weekly pay range, a possible sign‑on or performance bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions that can lead to longer‑term opportunities. You’ll receive comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from our dedicated traveling team, ready to help with housing, credentialing, lodging, and any on‑site needs. The company prioritizes your well‑being, ensuring you have access to resources that reduce burnout and sustain peak performance in high‑acuity environments. This is why many ICU nurses choose this pathway—because it blends rigorous clinical practice with a culture of care that respects your boundaries and ambitions.
Our company is committed to empowering staff—investing in ongoing education, recognizing achievement, and fostering a collaborative, inclusive workplace where every nurse can advance. You’ll join a culture that honors clinical excellence, ethical practice, and compassionate care, with mentorship, peer support, and clear pathways toward specialized roles, leadership, and broader career horizons. In this environment, your voice matters, your ideas are heard, and your growth is measured by real opportunities—whether you’re refining bedside skills, pursuing new certifications, or stepping into roles that shape program direction and patient outcomes.
