Step into a pivotal Med Surg RN opportunity in Bangor, Maine, where your clinical expertise will guide patients through acute and recovery journeys with precision, empathy, and leadership. This role is designed for professionals who see every shift as a chance to make a meaningful difference, to mentor teammates, and to elevate patient care through evidence-based practice. Beginning on 01/05/2026, you’ll join a dedicated Med Surg team on a flexible assignment with the potential for extensions, backed by a guaranteed 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $2,182 to $2,240. Beyond the clinical challenges, this position invites you to experience Maine’s renowned beauty—whether you’re strolling along the Penobscot River, exploring Bangor’s vibrant downtown, or venturing to nearby coastal escapes and mountains. The state’s seasonal bounty—lush summers, brilliant fall foliage, and serene winter landscapes—creates a backdrop that renews you after demanding shifts, while the tight-knit communities offer authentic hospitality and meaningful connections.
Location Benefits: Bangor sits at the heart of Maine’s diverse landscape, offering a balanced blend of small-city amenities and easy access to outdoor adventures. Working here means a supportive environment where teamwork is integral and patient-centered care is the norm. You’ll enjoy a manageable pace, thoughtful scheduling, and opportunities to broaden your experience within a respected regional hospital network. For those drawn to broader horizons, there’s also the chance to rotate or transition to other locations across the United States as your career unfolds—expanding your clinical toolbox, exposing you to varied patient populations, and enriching your professional journey. Maine itself is a treasure—cozy coffee shops, scenic river strolls, seasonal festivals, family-friendly recreation, and a thriving arts scene offer options to unwind and recharge. Whether you’re savoring coastal views or heading inland for hiking, fishing, or snowshoeing, you’ll discover a region that respects your professional dedication while rewarding your curiosity and resilience.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this Med Surg RN role, you’ll coordinate comprehensive patient care for adults with a wide range of medical and surgical needs. Expect responsibilities such as initial and ongoing assessments, monitoring vital signs, administering medications and IV therapies, managing postoperative progress, wound and drain care, and collaborating with physicians, case managers, and ancillary teams to craft individualized discharge plans. You’ll be central to patient education—explaining treatment plans, signaling red flags, and guiding families through recovery milestones. Your leadership may evolve through practice improvements, shift coordination, and opportunities to mentor new team members or assume charge responsibilities as you gain tenure. The package emphasizes not only a competitive wage but tangible support: a sign-on or performance-based bonus to acknowledge your expertise, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary lodging needs, and a clear path to extension opportunities that align with your career goals. We provide robust, 24/7 support for traveling clinicians—an accessible partner line, clinical leadership guidance, and a seamless onboarding experience designed to ensure you feel confident from day one. You’ll benefit from a culture that prioritizes safety, continuous learning, and a collaborative approach to patient outcomes, with access to ongoing education, specialty certifications, and opportunities to broaden your practice within Med Surg and related units.
Company Values: Our partner organization is anchored in empowering its nurses to grow—professionally and personally—within a supportive, inclusive environment. We champion merit, curiosity, and continual improvement, offering mentorship, structured pathways for advancement, and leadership development that respects your expertise. The culture emphasizes open communication, mutual respect, and accountability for high-quality patient care. You’ll be part of a network that recognizes your contributions, celebrates your wins, and stands by you through challenges, providing resources that enable you to expand your clinical competencies while maintaining balance in your life. This commitment to your growth extends to flexible scheduling, targeted education funds, and opportunities to pursue specialty certifications that align with your interests and ambitions.
