Helena, MT
Contracted
St. Peter's Health, Helena, Montana
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg, anchored in the scenic capital of Montana—Helena. This entry into Medical-Surgical nursing invites you to bring compassionate, evidence-based care to patients navigating acute and post-acute medical needs, with opportunities to influence outcomes, comfort, and recovery at every bedside. Envision applying your clinical expertise to diverse patient populations while enjoying the unique beauty of Montana’s landscapes—from the Missouri River trails to the foothills of the Elks Blues—creating a work experience that nourishes your professional ambitions and your personal well-being. For nurses seeking breadth and depth, our program also offers the chance to explore additional assignments across the United States, enriching your resume with varied clinical settings, teamwork dynamics, and patient stories that deepen your practice. This role is not just a job; it’s a platform to mentor, to learn, and to lead within a supportive travel community that values your expertise and your voice.
Helena blends professional opportunity with a high quality of life that’s hard to beat. As the state’s capital, it provides a robust healthcare network, reliable access to specialists, and a community-centric environment that supports nurses’ well-being. You’ll find manageable patient loads, strong interdisciplinary collaboration, and clinically oriented leadership focused on safety, innovation, and continuous improvement. The city’s outdoor allure is a daily companion—clean air, scenic trails, nearby national forests, and winter sports that make downtime restorative rather than distant from your career. For travelers broader than one city, the assignment opens avenues to work in other Montana locations or across the U.S., delivering a rich tapestry of clinical settings, patient demographics, and care protocols that sharpen your adaptability and widen your professional horizons while preserving the local charm of Helena when you’re here.
Role specifics and benefits come together to support your growth and readiness to deliver exemplary Med Surg care. In this assignment, you’ll perform comprehensive patient assessments, monitor complex clinical changes, manage IV therapy and wound care, support post-operative recovery, and coordinate safe transitions of care from hospital to home. You’ll collaborate with physicians, pharmacists, therapists, and case managers to craft individualized care plans, educate patients and families on condition management and discharge instructions, and document meticulously in electronic health records to ensure continuity of care. This position emphasizes evidence-based practice, patient safety, and meticulous infection control, with opportunities to cross-train and gain exposure to related units, enhancing your skill set for future leadership roles. You’ll be supported by a competitive compensation package—weekly pay ranging from $2,069 to $2,154, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week—alongside a sign-on bonus for eligible candidates, and housing assistance to ease relocation and housing needs. The assignment is weeks-long, with extension opportunities for continued collaboration with a team you’ve proven you fit with and that you’ve helped to elevate. You’ll have access to 24/7 traveler support, a dedicated nurse liaison, and on-call clinical leadership to help you troubleshoot clinical concerns, scheduling issues, or personal logistics while you travel. The program also emphasizes ongoing professional development, including clinical resources and continuing education options to accelerate your growth within the Med Surg discipline.
We are committed to a company culture that values and empowers its staff. Our philosophy centers on advancement and a supportive, inclusive environment where every nurse can shape their career trajectory. You’ll work within a framework that recognizes clinical excellence, encourages mentorship, and provides clear pathways to leadership roles—whether you aspire to become a charge nurse, a clinical educator, or a program ambassador for best practice in Med Surg. We invest in you by delivering robust supervision, peer collaboration, and access to mentors who’ve walked your path. By design, our travel teams cultivate a sense of belonging and accountability, ensuring you never feel like a temporary fixture but a valued member of a larger mission: delivering compassionate, high-quality care across diverse populations and settings.
If you’re ready to contribute your expertise to Med Surg while exploring Montana’s majestic backdrop and the broader U.S. healthcare landscape, this is your invitation. Start date is 01/04/2026, with a weeks-long assignment that respects your time and keeps your clinical skills sharp. This is more than a contract—it’s a chance to join a company that recognizes your professional contributions, invests in your growth, and supports you every step of the way. Apply today to begin a rewarding chapter where your nursing excellence, patient advocacy, and personal passions align.
The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
