Travel Registered Nurse Case Management Job
Syracuse, NY
Contracted
SUNY Upstate University Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a defining nursing role as a Registered Nurse, Case Management specialist, and become a pivotal partner in patient care during transitions that truly matter. This travel assignment places you in New York, Syracuse, where your clinical expertise and compassionate leadership will coordinate complex care plans, streamline referrals, and ensure seamless handoffs between hospital, home, and community resources. You’ll assess patient needs, identify barriers to optimal outcomes, develop evidence‑driven discharge plans, and collaborate with physicians, social workers, and payers to orchestrate safe, timely, and cost‑effective care. Your work will directly influence readmission rates, patient satisfaction, and long‑term health trajectories, allowing you to leverage advanced case management skills to empower individuals and families at their most vulnerable moments. Begin on 03/04/2026 for a flexible number of weeks, with the opportunity to extend as your expertise and interests grow, and immerse yourself in a role that honors your judgment, autonomy, and commitment to high‑quality care. Beyond the hospital walls, you’ll experience the beauty and diversity of New York state—the chance to explore a region rich with history, culture, and natural wonders, and the option to travel to additional U.S. locations to broaden your professional horizon while maintaining a consistent standard of excellence.
Syracuse and the surrounding region offer an ideal backdrop for a purpose‑driven nurse. The city blends a vibrant downtown with welcoming neighborhoods, seasonally dynamic communities, and access to parks, museums, and dining that celebrate local flavors. In your downtime, you can enjoy strolling through a lively waterfront, exploring the historic Broadway district, or venturing a short drive to the pristine shores of the Finger Lakes. The state itself unfolds as a tapestry of iconic destinations—from the majesty of the Adirondacks to the majesty of Niagara Falls and the scenic beauty of the Hudson Valley. Working in Syracuse gives you a home base that feels connected, with frequent opportunities to tour nearby landscapes, unwind outdoors, or simply recharge among friendly colleagues who share your mission to deliver patient‑centered care. At the same time, this role holds the flexibility to extend your impact across other U.S. locations, broadening your professional experience and building a national network of collaborators who value coordinated care, innovation, and continuous learning.
In this role, you’ll own responsibility for comprehensive case management across care settings. Core duties include conducting thorough needs assessments, risk stratification, and care coordination for medically complex patients; creating and updating individualized care plans; arranging post‑acute services, home health, and durable medical equipment as needed; coordinating with physicians, social workers, and community partners to secure safe transitions; monitoring adherence to treatment plans, addressing social determinants of health, and advocating for patient preferences in goal setting. You’ll facilitate effective communication with interdisciplinary teams and families, document care plans with precision, and utilize data to drive improvements in outcomes and efficiency. The position also emphasizes professional growth—opportunities to deepen expertise in transitions of care, payer negotiations, and population health principles, with clear pathways to expand your leadership within the Case Management specialty. You’ll receive a competitive compensation package that includes a sign‑on or completion bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions that reflect your performance and interests.
This opportunity comes with comprehensive support you can count on whenever you’re traveling with the company. You’ll have 24/7 access to a dedicated support team, enabling you to navigate any scheduling changes, travel logistics, or clinical questions with confidence. In addition, the program offers housing assistance to ease transitions between assignments, and there are extension options that allow you to continue advancing your career with continuity and stability while exploring new clinical environments. The organization is committed to empowering its staff—providing mentoring, ongoing education, and a culture that prioritizes professional development, work‑life balance, and a supportive, collaborative atmosphere where your contributions are recognized and valued.
If you’re driven to elevate patient outcomes through expert case management and want to grow within a company that prioritizes people, purpose, and possibility, this is your moment. Apply now to join a team that respects your expertise and invests in your future, and help shape the standard of care for patients navigating complex health journeys across New York and beyond. This is more than a job—it's a chance to advance your career, impact lives, and experience a dynamic, rewarding professional path.
