Travel Registered Nurse ER Job
Hilo, HI
Contracted
Hilo Medical Center
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal ER nursing role in Hilo, Hawaii, where your clinical skill and compassionate leadership meet the aloha spirit. As an ER Registered Nurse, you’ll be on the front line—triaging, stabilizing, and initiating life-saving interventions for a diverse patient population. Your quick assessment, decisive action, and clear communication will guide patients and families through critical moments with empathy and clarity. In this tropical setting, your work will create lasting community impact, while the island’s pristine beaches, verdant landscapes, and vibrant culture offer a daily backdrop that nourishes your well-being and professional perspective.
Location benefits go well beyond the walls of the ER. Hilo presents a close-knit community feel, easy access to scenic beauty—from cascading waterfalls to black-sand beaches and volcanic landscapes—and a slower pace that supports quality of life and sustainable energy for demanding shifts. The opportunity also includes the potential to rotate to partner facilities across the United States, exposing you to varied practice environments—from fast-paced urban centers to rural settings—broadening your clinical acumen and expanding your professional network. You’ll gain the benefit of adapting to different ER protocols, patient demographics, and collaborative approaches while enjoying Hawaii’s exceptional climate, outdoor adventures, and culturally rich experiences off duty.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to elevate your ER expertise and provide meaningful support. In this assignment, you’ll perform rapid triage, monitor high-acuity patients, administer medications, initiate trauma protocols, and coordinate diagnostic testing, all while maintaining precise documentation in electronic health records. You’ll collaborate with physicians, respiratory therapists, case managers, and ancillary staff to develop and execute patient-centered treatment plans that emphasize safety, efficiency, and patient education. This role offers clear pathways for professional growth within emergency nursing, including mentorship from seasoned ER colleagues, opportunities to cross-train in related acute care areas, and access to continuing education resources that keep you at the forefront of best practices. Compensation is competitive, with a weekly pay range of $1,860 to $1,943, reflecting experience, shift intensity, and assignment specifics. Hours are not guaranteed, with scheduling based on facility needs, but you’ll enjoy consistent exposure to high-acuity cases and the chance to extend the contract for additional weeks should both you and the facility agree it’s a good fit. To support your transition, housing assistance is available, and there can be a sign-on bonus based on qualifications and current need. In addition, there is potential for contract extensions, allowing you to deepen your impact in a familiar unit or diversify your experience across additional sites. A dedicated travel support team remains on call 24/7 to assist with credentialing, travel logistics, housing, and any clinical or personal needs that arise, ensuring you feel cared for while you focus on patient care.
Company values center on empowering our nursing staff, fostering career advancement, and cultivating a supportive, collaborative environment. We believe every ER nurse should have access to mentorship, professional development, and resources that enable them to lead improvements in patient safety and care quality. Our culture emphasizes respect, resilience, and continuous learning, inviting you to contribute ideas, share experience, and grow within a network of peers who value your expertise. We are committed to helping you achieve a balance between delivering exceptional patient care and pursuing personal and professional aspirations, all within a community that celebrates your contributions.
If you’re ready to apply, this is your invitation to join a team that values your dedication and nurtures your growth. Begin a rewarding journey in Hawaii’s welcoming shores and across U.S. locations, anchored by a multi-week assignment that starts June 1, 2026, with potential extension opportunities based on performance and facility needs. Embrace a role where your ER skills save lives, and your presence enriches the communities you serve. Ready to make a lasting impact while advancing your career?
