Answer the call to serve on the front lines of Med Surg nursing in Ukiah, California, where every shift blends clinical excellence with compassionate care. As a Registered Nurse specializing in medical-surgical units, you will play a pivotal role in guiding patients from admission through recovery, coordinating with physicians, pharmacists, and bedside teams, and advocating for safe transitions of care. This assignment offers the chance to deepen clinical skills, build leadership confidence, and contribute to a community that values dignity, resilience, and teamwork. In addition to the impactful work, you’ll enjoy the natural beauty of Northern California—from the towering redwoods and scenic rivers to charming downtown streets and a climate that invites outdoor exploration between shifts. You’ll have a clear path to growth as you apply evidence-based practice, expand your med-surg repertoire, and collaborate with a network of like-minded professionals who share your dedication to patient-centered care. The opportunity starts February 2, 2026, and unfolds in a setting that honors your expertise while inviting you to explore a region celebrated for its tranquility, wine country landscapes, and friendly neighborhoods.
Ukiah sits in Mendocino County, a sunlit oasis offering easy access to outdoor recreation, vibrant local farms, and a welcoming small-town atmosphere. The area blends a strong sense of community with modern healthcare excellence, giving you the space to focus on your patients while enjoying a balanced lifestyle. For travel nurses who crave breadth, this assignment is part of a broader program with placements across multiple U.S. sites. Whether you find yourself next in a coastal clinic, a mountain-adjacent hospital, or a metropolitan area, you’ll gain exposure to diverse patient populations, care models, and clinical challenges that sharpen your assessment, triage, and leadership skills. The scheduling flexibility, patient volumes, and facility diversity provide a unique platform to refine care plans, coordinate multi-disciplinary rounds, and expand professional networks that propel your nursing career forward. The location’s natural beauty and community charm make it a place where you can recharge after demanding shifts while staying connected to the core of what drew you into nursing.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your clinical excellence and professional growth. In this Med Surg RN role, you’ll perform comprehensive patient assessments, monitor and interpret vitals, manage post-operative and medical-surgical care, administer medications safely, and execute wound care, IV therapies, and escalation protocols when patient status dictates. You’ll contribute to dynamic care planning, discharge planning, patient and family education, and transitions of care to home or other facilities. The position invites you to grow within the specialty through mentorship, evidence-based initiatives, and collaboration with doctors, case managers, pharmacists, and ancillary teams. The program's compensation reflects its commitment to recognizing your skills with a weekly pay range of $1,714 to $1,778, plus competitive housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary lodging, and the potential for contract extensions that align with your long-term goals. A bonus option may apply, as part of the comprehensive benefits package designed to reward performance and dedication. In addition, you will receive 24/7 support from experienced travel coordinators who are available anytime to address scheduling, clinical questions, or emergency needs, ensuring you’re never navigating a shift alone. Our travel program emphasizes reliability and responsiveness, with a structured escalation pathway and a dedicated clinical support line to help you deliver exceptional patient care, even in unfamiliar settings. If you’re looking for additional opportunities, there are options to take on extended assignments or to rotate through related units under our umbrella, enabling you to broaden your scope while remaining anchored in solid clinical practice.
Our company values center on empowering staff, fostering career advancement, and maintaining a supportive work environment that respects your professional autonomy and personal well-being. You will join a community that believes in transparent communication, continuous learning, and recognizing the expertise that each nurse brings to the bedside. The organization prioritizes mentorship, leadership development, and cross-training, so you can chart a clear path from bedside nurse to clinical educator, charge nurse, or specialty advocate as you accumulate experience and pursue certifications. The culture emphasizes collaboration, respect, and accountability, with resources to help you balance demanding shifts with a healthy personal life. You’ll benefit from ongoing education stipends, access to simulation labs, and opportunities to participate in quality improvement initiatives that directly impact patient outcomes and hospital performance. In short, you’ll be part of a mission-driven team that values your input, supports your ambitions, and provides a stable framework in which to grow both clinically and professionally.
