Contracted
Mt, Edgecumbe Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a vital ER RN role in Sitka, Alaska, where your clinical prowess will save lives in a setting that blends rugged beauty with compassionate care. As an experienced ER nurse, you will act quickly, communicate clearly, and coordinate with a tight-knit team across chaotic, high‑acuity shifts. Your impact will extend beyond triage to comforting patients and families during stressful moments, guiding care with confidence and empathy. Start date February 9, 2026, with a contract spanning multiple weeks and guaranteed hours of 36 per week. Weekly pay ranges from 3,181 to 3,343, reflecting the specialized skills you bring to a demanding emergency department. This opportunity is more than a placement; it’s a platform to demonstrate leadership in fast-paced care, triage discernment, and decisive clinical decision-making when every minute counts.
Sitka’s remote coastal setting elevates the experience of frontline nursing, offering you a chance to work in a community that blends wild terrain with a welcoming, resilient spirit. Picture days that begin with ocean air and end with mountain silhouettes, where you can unwind by kayaking sheltered bays, watching tides shape the shoreline, or joining locals for fresh seafood and cultural events. Alaska’s stunning landscapes aren’t just backdrop; they refresh your perspective and renew your commitment to patient-centered care. The location benefits go beyond scenery: you’ll develop adaptability, cultural humility, and patient communication skills that shine in emergency medicine. And for nurses who crave variety, an established pathway affords the opportunity to work in multiple sites across the United States through our network, expanding your professional exposure while maintaining the familiar, supportive framework you value.
In this ER nursing role, your responsibilities are comprehensive and impactful. You’ll perform rapid assessments, initiate life‑saving protocols, administer medications, manage airway care, monitor hemodynamics, and coordinate with physicians, pharmacists, and ancillary teams to stabilize patients in critical conditions. You’ll lead patient and family communication during high-stress events, document meticulously, and advocate for efficient, evidence‑based interventions. You’ll participate in ongoing professional development within emergency medicine, including ACLS‑aligned practice, wound care optimization, and the latest triage strategies that keep pace with evolving ED demands. The position invites you to expand your skill set through cross‑training, leadership opportunities, and potential contract extensions, all designed to deepen your expertise and broaden your career trajectory. Competitive benefits include a sign‑on bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or lodging during your assignment, and extension opportunities that reward consistency, reliability, and clinical excellence. You’ll have access to 24/7 support from our travelers’ concierge team, ensuring you’re never alone on the road or in unfamiliar facilities. Our approach emphasizes a safety‑first mindset, comprehensive orientation, and ongoing check‑ins to optimize your wellness while you deliver top‑tier care in dynamic environments.
The company’s values center on empowering staff, fostering career advancement, and cultivating a supportive work culture where your voice matters. We’re dedicated to creating pathways for nurses to assume greater responsibilities, refine specialized ER competencies, and build leadership capacity within emergency medicine. In Sitka, you’ll find colleagues who value collaboration, mentorship, and transparent communication, alongside robust resources that prioritize your well‑being. Our leadership understands the realities of travel assignments and strives to maintain a humane, family‑oriented approach to placement, balancing professional growth with personal stability. You’ll be joining a network of healthcare professionals who celebrate diversity, encourage curiosity, and commit to continuous improvement in patient outcomes.
