CVPH
Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Registered Nurse in the PCU (Progressive Care Unit) in Plattsburgh, New York, where compassionate patient care and clinical expertise converge to transform lives every day. In this pivotal role, you’ll blend the precision of a step-down unit with the empathy of bedside care, guiding patients through critical transitions with confidence, clarity, and a steady, reassuring presence. You’ll be part of a dedicated team that values evidence-based practice, teamwork, and patient dignity, delivering high-quality care in a setting that challenges you while supporting your professional growth. This assignment invites you to impact families, mentor junior staff, and refine your specialty skills in a nuanced, high-acuity environment. As you answer the call to serve, you’ll discover that every shift offers new learning, new connections, and new opportunities to elevate your career in PCU nursing. Separately, you can experience the beauty of New York’s landscapes—the serenity of Lake Champlain, the majesty of the Adirondack foothills, and the charm of historic towns—creating a work-life balance that nourishes the spirit as much as it strengthens clinical expertise. Plattsburgh sits at a crossroads of nature and culture, inviting outdoor recreation, seasonal festivities, and a welcoming community that treats your success as a shared victory.
Location Benefits: Known for its friendly small-town feel with easy access to outdoor adventures, Plattsburgh offers a vibrant, cost-conscious living environment without sacrificing access to quality amenities. When you’re not providing expert care, you can explore stunning lakefront vistas, hiking trails through forested hills, and easy day trips to nearby cultural destinations. The region combines the comfort of a close-knit community with practical advantages like affordable housing, reputable schools, and a welcoming atmosphere for traveling clinicians. In addition, the program affords you flexibility to work in various locations across the United States, opening doors to diverse clinical settings—from coastal communities to bustling metropolitan centers—allowing you to broaden your professional network, adapt to different patient populations, and return home with a wealth of experiences. The opportunity to rotate or extend to additional sites within a trusted network means you can tailor your assignments to your lifestyle and growth goals while maintaining continuity of professional development.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a PCU Nurse, you’ll deliver direct patient care throughout the shift, perform comprehensive assessments, monitor hemodynamics, manage IV therapies and ventilation support as appropriate, administer medications with meticulous accuracy, interpret telemetry, and respond rapidly to clinical changes. You’ll collaborate with physicians, case managers, pharmacists, and rehabilitation teams to develop and implement patient-centered care plans, ensuring smooth transitions from acute care to step-down status. Documentation will reflect best practices, with clear communication to families and the care team about treatment goals, expectations, and discharge planning. You’ll have ample opportunities for professional growth, including targeted PCU competencies, certifications, and pathways toward leadership roles within the unit. The role comes with a compelling compensation package that recognizes your expertise, including a weekly pay range of $2,109-$2,236, reflecting your skills and the demand for capable PCU nurses. The contract includes housing assistance to ease relocation and temporary housing needs, and there are extension opportunities to continue contributing your talents beyond the initial term. A guaranteed hours policy is not set in stone; instead, you’ll often have the prospect of extended assignments or additional shifts based on unit needs and your demonstrated performance, giving you control over your workload while providing stability through ongoing clinical engagement. You’ll also benefit from ongoing support with 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel team, ensuring you have help available for housing, orientation, credentialing, and day-to-day needs as you travel with the company. The program aligns with a supportive infrastructure designed to remove barriers to successful practice, so you can focus on delivering exceptional care and expanding your nursing repertoire in a real-world, high-stakes setting.
Company Values: Our partner health system is committed to empowering its nursing staff, placing professional development at the forefront of its culture.

A respectful, inclusive work environment prioritizes well-being, recognizes achievements, and provides resources for ongoing education, leadership development, and resilience.
