Sitka, AK
Contracted
Mt, Edgecumbe Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a high-impact role as a Registered Nurse specializing in Labor and Delivery, where your expertise guides families through one of life’s most meaningful moments. This multi-week assignment begins on February 2, 2026, offering you a guaranteed 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of 3,125 to 3,199, with opportunities for extensions and growth within the specialty. In this position, you’ll blend clinical mastery with compassionate support, coordinating care from labor through delivery and the immediate postpartum period, collaborating closely with obstetricians, midwives, and nursery teams to ensure safety, dignity, and optimal outcomes for mothers and newborns. You’ll monitor labor progression, fetal well-being, administer medications, manage emergencies, lead patient and family education, and advocate for evidenced-based practices that elevate patient experiences. The pace can be dynamic, but your steady judgment, clear communication, and skilled hands will be the constant that families rely on during one of life’s pivotal moments. This role not only reinforces your clinical competencies in anesthesia, analgesia, cesarean-assisted births, and high-risk considerations but also broadens your leadership capacity as you mentor less experienced staff and contribute to unit-wide quality initiatives. With access to robust onboarding, continuing education opportunities, and structured performance feedback, you’ll chart a path toward advanced specialties within perinatal care, leadership tracks, or education roles, all supported by a team that values your voice and your professional arc.

Location benefits are as rich as the landscape. Sitka, Alaska, offers a unique blend of coastal beauty, dramatic mountains, and a tight-knit community that values healthcare you can rely on. The location rewards you with fresh air, outdoor adventures, and cultural experiences that deepen your connection to the place you serve. If you’re drawn to broader horizons, this assignment also opens opportunities to be deployed to other locations across the United States, enriching your practice with diverse patient populations, hospital rhythms, and collaborative networks. Whether you choose to anchor in Sitka’s serene waterfront environment or rotate to hospitals in other regions, you’ll gain insights that only travel healthcare can provide—enhancing clinical adaptability, patient communication, and team collaboration in settings ranging from rural clinics to bustling urban facilities. The Alaska experience stands out for its connection to nature, seasonal activities, and the resilience and resourcefulness that comes from practice in a remote, mission-driven environment. You’ll be part of a network that supports your presence in both small-community care and broader medical teams, with the added benefit of exposure to varied obstetric pathways and nursing models that strengthen your professional portfolio.

Role specifics and benefits center your growth as a leader and clinician. Core responsibilities include conducting comprehensive obstetric assessments, managing labor analgesia plans, facilitating continuous fetal monitoring, supporting expedited safe deliveries, and coordinating postpartum education and breastfeeding initiation. You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to optimize pain management, maternal wellbeing, and newborn outcomes, while documenting precisely and communicating effectively with families, physicians, and ancillary staff. The position emphasizes professional development through mentorship, specialized perioperative and neonatal resuscitation refreshers, and potential rotations that broaden your competencies. Competitive benefits are a hallmark: a sign-on bonus to recognize your expertise, housing assistance to ease transitions, and opportunities to extend the assignment to align with career goals. You’ll enjoy a supportive framework designed for travel professionals, including a dedicated 24/7 support line and on-call clinical liaison services to troubleshoot anything from clinical questions to housing logistics as you move between assignments. The role also provides structured avenues for progressive responsibilities, whether that means leading unit orientation for new nurses, contributing to perinatal safety initiatives, or pursuing additional certifications aligned with your interests.

Company values anchor every aspect of the experience. Our organization is dedicated to empowering nurses to advance along purposeful career paths while maintaining balance and wellbeing in demanding roles. You’ll join a culture that emphasizes respect, inclusion, and teamwork, with leaders who invest in your growth through mentorship, regular feedback, and access to educational resources. Expect a welcoming environment where your voice matters, your clinical judgment is trusted, and your aspirations are supported with tangible pathways—be it roles in clinical leadership, education, or specialty practice. This is more than a job—it’s a community committed to excellence in patient care and to the professional development of every nurse who joins.
