CVPH
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic journey as a Registered Nurse in PCU, delivering high-quality, patient‑centered care at the forefront of transitional and acute care. This opportunity places you in Plattsburgh, New York, where you’ll bring expert clinical skills to a fast‑paced Progressive Care Unit while making meaningful differences in patient outcomes. As you navigate complex cases—from observation through stabilization to safe discharge—you’ll collaborate with physicians, ancillary teams, and families to guide patients along a successful recovery path. This role isn’t just about the bedside; it’s about growing as a clinician, expanding your scope of practice, and building a robust professional foundation within a nationally supported travel nursing program. Beyond the patient rooms, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of New York’s North Country—the crisp mountain air of the Adirondacks, the tranquil shores of Lake Champlain, the friendly welcome of Plattsburgh, and the region’s rich history and vibrant small‑town culture. When you’re ready for a change of scenery, our nationwide program can open doors to new assignments across diverse locations, expanding your clinical exposure and professional network.

Location benefits: Plattsburgh offers a welcoming community, affordable living, and a natural playground just outside your door. You’ll enjoy a reasonable pace, lower cost of living compared to metropolitan centers, and easy access to outdoor recreation—from hiking in the Adirondacks to scenic drives along Lake Champlain. The area’s educational and cultural assets provide enriching downtime between shifts. For travel professionals who relish variety, the opportunity to work in various locations across the United States is a core element of this program, delivering exposure to different patient populations, hospital cultures, and clinical practices. This blend of stability in a beautiful local setting with the flexibility to explore other communities nationwide helps you refine your nursing craft while expanding your horizons.

Role specifics and benefits: As a PCU RN, you’ll supervise and care for adults transitioning from acute to progressive care, balancing acuity with step‑down stability. Your responsibilities include meticulous patient assessment, rhythm monitoring and telemetry interpretation, precise medication administration, IV therapy, wound care, hemodynamic monitoring, and timely escalation when changes occur. You’ll collaborate with case managers and interdisciplinary teams to coordinate discharge planning, patient and family education, and post‑discharge resources. The role offers pathways for professional growth within the PCU specialty—whether advancing in clinical competencies, pursuing a specialty certification, taking on charge or preceptor responsibilities, or exploring leadership opportunities that leverage your bedside expertise. You’ll receive competitive weekly pay between $2,347 and $2,503, with the potential for additional incentives and a focus on rewarding performance. Housing assistance is available, and there are extension opportunities to continue your journey with our program if you wish. Our comprehensive support network is designed to keep you thriving on the road: 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, dedicated placement specialists, help with housing, licensing logistics, travel arrangements, and a robust clinical support system to answer questions, resolve concerns, and ensure you feel valued every step of the way. Start date for this assignment is 01/26/2026, with an assignment duration listed in weeks and flexible extension options. Please note that hours and pay may vary and final compensation packages, including guaranteed hours, will be confirmed during the hiring process.
