Newark, NY
Contracted
Newark-Wayne Community Hospital - Aya
Mid Level
Step into a high-stakes, high-impact ICU nursing role where your expertise can change outcomes in real time. As a Registered Nurse specializing in intensive care, you’ll be at the forefront of life-sustaining interventions, translating complex orders into precise, compassionate action. You’ll manage critically ill patients with arterial lines, ventilator support, vasoactive infusions, and rapid-response needs, while partnering with physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and family members to deliver cohesive, evidence-based care. Your leadership will help guide families through challenging moments and your collaboration will strengthen a culture of safety, discipline, and empathy. This weeks-long contract commences on 03/16/2026, offering a dynamic opportunity to apply your ICU expertise in the New York and Newark area, with pathways to broaden your experience across multiple facilities in the United States. The local environment blends world-class urban centers with accessible neighborhoods, providing diverse clinical cases and an energizing backdrop for your professional growth. The region’s renowned hospitals, teaching centers, and busy ICUs create fertile ground for refining rapid decision-making, complex monitoring, and advanced patient management while you enjoy the vibrant life that New York’s rich landscape offers—from riverfront strolls to unforgettable cultural events and proximity to nature for restorative downtime.
Location benefits are a cornerstone of this opportunity. Working in New York and Newark means you’ll engage with top-tier intensivists and multidisciplinary teams that value precise communication, advanced practice, and patient-centered outcomes. You’ll have access to the latest ICU protocols, equipment, and rounds that emphasize evidence-based practice and continuous improvement. The area’s diverse patient population delivers a broad spectrum of critical care experiences—sepsis care, post-operative management, neurocritical care, and cardiac ICU pathways—each sharpening your clinical judgment. The city’s transit options enable smooth movement between facilities, reducing commute stress and leaving more energy for clinically meaningful shifts. On your off days, you can explore iconic city neighborhoods, museums, parks, and cuisine, or take a short trip to quieter escapes along the Hudson or in the surrounding region. Furthermore, there is potential to rotate through other locations nationwide, broadening your professional repertoire while retaining the support and consistency of a single employer.
Role specifics and benefits: this position centers on hands-on critical care with meaningful opportunities for growth and leadership. Key responsibilities include continuous patient assessment, interpretation of complex hemodynamics, ventilator management, titration of vasoactive infusions, renal replacement therapy coordination when applicable, infection prevention protocols, rapid response participation, and family communication anchored in compassionate curation of goals of care. You’ll participate in daily rounds, contribute to care planning with the multidisciplinary team, and engage in quality improvement initiatives that elevate patient outcomes. The role offers robust professional development: access to specialty certifications, structured mentorship from seasoned ICU clinicians, and pathways toward lead nurse roles or educator tracks that recognize clinical excellence and teaching aptitude. The position also supports career advancement within a safety-conscious, evidence-driven culture that rewards initiative, accountability, and professional curiosity.
Competitive benefits begin with a competitive weekly pay range of $2,150-$2,223, reflecting the high level of skill and responsibility required. A sign-on bonus and housing assistance are available to facilitate smooth relocation and onboarding. The arrangement includes extension opportunities after the initial assignment, enabling you to continue building your ICU portfolio with a trusted partner. You’ll receive comprehensive support throughout your travel experience, including 24/7 assistance from our travel leadership and clinical liaison teams, ensuring rapid resolution of any concerns, consistent scheduling communications, and proactive safety resources. While the stated hours and pay are estimates and may vary, you will have a transparent discussion during the hiring process about compensation packages and guaranteed hours, with the understanding that scheduling will align with patient needs and facility requirements.
Company values emphasize empowerment, growth, and a supportive environment that nurtures your clinical leadership. We’re committed to partnering with you to advance your career, whether through expanded clinical scope, continuing education credits, or opportunities to contribute to mentorship programs for new ICU nurses. Our culture esteems teamwork, respect, and the well-being of every staff member, recognizing that your expertise is the cornerstone of high-quality patient care. You’ll join a community that celebrates clinical mastery, fosters lifelong learning, and champions a work atmosphere where you can thrive both professionally and personally.
