Each shift is an opportunity to restore health, ease anxiety, and educate patients and families, turning every interaction into a meaningful contribution to someone’s wellness journey. Beyond the professional rewards, imagine exploring the vibrant landscapes of upstate New York—the scenic Finger Lakes, the rolling hills of the Genesee region, the cultural richness of Rochester’s neighborhoods, and the natural beauty of nearby lakes and parks.

This is a chance to broaden your professional network, sharpen critical thinking, and cultivate leadership skills within a dynamic Med Surg environment, all while enjoying the distinctive charm and energy of upstate New York.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Med Surg RN, you’ll assess and monitor adult medical surgical patients, execute evidence-based nursing care plans, administer medications, perform chart reviews, and coordinate care with physicians, case managers, and ancillary staff. You’ll participate in discharge planning, patient education, and symptom management, ensuring a smooth transition from hospital to home or rehabilitation settings. The role emphasizes clinical growth—building proficiency in perioperative care, post-surgical stabilization, wound and drain management, infection control, and rapid response skills. You’ll have opportunities to apply and expand critical thinking, triage capabilities, and collaborative care planning in a supportive environment designed to elevate your practice. The package features a competitive compensation range of $2,074-$2,200 per week, reflecting the value you bring on the Med Surg floor.
