Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg, Rochester, New York, beginning February 2, 2026. This role places you at the heart of patient recovery, where every assessment, every intervention, and every moment of reassurance can alter a family’s experience. In this position, you’ll join a dedicated traveling nursing program designed to recognize your expertise, celebrate your clinical instincts, and fuel your professional growth. Rochester presents a compelling backdrop for your work—historic neighborhoods, lush parks, waterfront strolls along the Genesee River, world‑class museums, thriving dining scenes, and a calendar filled with cultural events. Beyond the city’s charm, you’ll have the chance to support patients across diverse settings, expanding your impact while enjoying the rich tapestry of life that New York offers. This opportunity comes with the flexibility of Weeks‑long assignments, an engaging start date, and a compensation structure that reflects your skills and commitment.
Location Benefits: Working in Rochester blends compassionate care with a high standard of facility resources, mentorship, and interdisciplinary collaboration. You’ll serve in a community that values health, education, and public service, within a system that prioritizes patient advocacy and evidence‑based practice. The region’s educational institutions, parks, and access to lakefront recreation provide a balanced lifestyle that supports resilience and long‑term career satisfaction. For nurses seeking geographic breadth, the program also offers placements across various U.S. locations, delivering exposure to different patient populations, hospital cultures, and clinical challenges. This geographic flexibility enables you to broaden your clinical repertoire while maintaining a consistent, supportive network through the company’s travel teams. In all locations, you’ll benefit from structured onboarding, standardized care protocols, and access to advanced medical technology that enhances your ability to deliver top‑tier Med Surg care.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Core responsibilities: Provide comprehensive inpatient medical‑surgical nursing care to a diverse patient population, including accurate assessment of vital signs, pain management, wound and drain care, IV therapy, catheter management, medication administration (including high‑risk meds with protocol adherence), and proactive prevention of complications. Develop and implement individualized care plans in collaboration with physicians, therapists, social workers, and families. Monitor progress, document thoroughly in electronic health records, and communicate changes promptly to the care team. Facilitate patient and family education on treatments, discharge planning, and post‑hospital care, ensuring continuity of care and safety across transitions.
- Professional growth: Leverage an environment that supports specialty development in Med Surg, with opportunities for cross‑unit learning, leadership pathways, and potential preceptorship roles. Access ongoing continuing education credits, evidence‑based practice resources, and mentorship that accelerates skill mastery, from complex post‑op care to acute medical management and telemetry competencies.
- Benefits and rewards: Competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,086 to $2,154, with bonuses that recognize performance, tenure, and successful completion of assignments. Comprehensive housing assistance and/or stipends are available to ease relocation, along with flexible extension opportunities that allow you to deepen your experience in Med Surg or transition into related specialties. The program emphasizes transparent scheduling and clear advancement pathways, so you can plan ahead for the next chapter of your nursing career.
- Support and stability: You will have dedicated travel coordinators and 24/7 support from the company, ensuring you have immediate access to clinical and logistical assistance while you travel. This includes nurse leads, clinical hotlines, and regional support contacts to address concerns, optimize care delivery, and resolve challenges quickly. The structure is designed to minimize downtime and maximize your clinical impact, even in unfamiliar environments.
- Work environment: Expect a culture that values teamwork, compassion, and patient‑centered care. You’ll operate in settings that encourage collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, quality improvement initiatives, and a shared commitment to safety, dignity, and outcomes. The program rewards initiative, resilience, and continuous learning, reinforcing a workplace where your voice is heard and your professional development is prioritized.
