Take an impactful step forward as a Registered Nurse in Medical-Surgical (Med Surg) care, bringing your skill, empathy, and clinical judgment to Utica, New York. In this dynamic Med Surg assignment, you will be at the forefront of patient stabilization, recovery, and education, guiding diverse adults through acute and transitioning care with confidence and compassion. You’ll manage comprehensive nursing duties—from focused assessments and IV therapy to wound care, medication administration, and interdisciplinary planning—while partnering closely with physicians, case managers, and families to ensure safe, efficient, and patient-centered outcomes. This opportunity launches on 02/02/2026 for several weeks, offering guaranteed hours and a collaborative environment where your expertise can shine. And as you step into this role, you’ll also discover that New York’s upstate charm is a backdrop for a meaningful professional journey—separately, Utica and the surrounding region boast a blend of historic streets, cultural treasures, and natural beauty that invites exploration after shifts, from serene parks to the foothills of the Adirondacks and other scenic corners of the state.
Location benefits extend beyond a single assignment. Utica presents a welcoming, community-minded setting with affordable housing options, a robust healthcare network, and a rich array of dining, arts, and recreation. It’s a place where you can establish strong professional connections while enjoying a high quality of life, easy access to family and friends, and reduced commutes.

You’ll experience the advantages of a supportive travel program that prioritizes your well-being, safety, and professional development while you explore new communities and patient populations.
In this Med Surg RN role, responsibilities are centered on delivering compassionate, evidence-based care on busy medical–surgical floors. You’ll perform comprehensive patient assessments, monitor and respond to changes in condition, administer medications with precision, manage IV therapies, and implement care plans that reflect best practices and individualized needs. You’ll contribute to discharge planning, patient education, and family coaching, ensuring smooth transitions from hospital to home or next care setting. The position provides ample opportunity for professional growth through exposure to a broad spectrum of clinical presentations, collaboration with specialty teams, and access to continuing education, certifications, and career ladders that recognize and reward your initiative and expertise. You’ll have the chance to mentor newer staff, participate in quality improvement projects, and expand your Med Surg proficiency in a supportive environment that celebrates curiosity and accountability.
The package includes competitive compensation designed to recognize your expertise and reliability. Expect a weekly pay range of $2,202–$2,351, with guaranteed 36 hours per week. In addition to solid compensation, you’ll have access to a sign-on or completion bonus, comprehensive housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, and extension opportunities that offer continuity of care and ongoing professional engagement. A dedicated, 24/7 support team accompanies you on travel assignments, ensuring you have round-the-clock access to assistance, resources, and guidance whenever you need it. This robust support network is coupled with practical benefits such as onboarding assistance, orientation plans tailored to Med Surg needs, and ongoing administrative help to streamline shifts, credentialing, and compliance requirements. By design, the program reduces travel stress and keeps you focused on delivering high-quality patient care.
