Step into a transformative Travel Nurse journey as a Registered Nurse in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) with a vibrant, patient-centered team on the beautiful island of Hawaii, in Hilo. This is more than a placement—it’s an opportunity to influence recovery trajectories, collaborate with seasoned clinicians, and bring compassionate, high-caliber care to adults transitioning from acute to intermediate care. You’ll blend clinical precision with thoughtful patient education, using telemetry, advanced monitoring, and evidence-based practices to support complex diagnoses while promoting safety, comfort, and timely discharge planning. Start Date: 02/09/2026. You’ll be welcomed into a culture that values autonomy tempered with teamwork, innovation guided by best practices, and a shared commitment to excellence in every shift. Picture yourself embracing the aloha spirit as you deliver respectful, individualized care in a setting that celebrates wellness, resilience, and professional growth. Beyond the patient room, the Big Island’s lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and endless coastline offer a backdrop that renews energy and fosters balance after demanding clinical days.
Location Benefits: Working in Hilo means embracing a unique blend of world-class care and natural beauty.
