Travel Registered Nurse ICU Job
Rochester, NY
Contracted
URMC Strong Memorial Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal ICU nursing role in Rochester, New York, where every shift presents an opportunity to save lives, guide complex care plans, and mentor a high‑performing team. As an ICU Registered Nurse, you’ll lead patient assessments, manage ventilators and vasoactive infusions, interpret monitors, respond to emergencies with composure, and collaborate across disciplines to shorten recovery times and improve outcomes. Your expertise will help families navigate critical moments with clarity, compassion, and confidence, while you advance your clinical mastery through real‑world challenges, evidence‑based protocols, and ongoing skill refinement. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to shape the trajectory of critical care for patients at their most vulnerable, while growing as a clinician who inspires colleagues and elevates standard practices.
Beyond the hospital walls, New York’s scenic diversity awaits: the Finger Lakes’ sparkling waters and rolling vineyards, the rugged Adirondack foothills, Niagara Falls’ thunderous beauty, and a thriving cultural scene in Rochester and the broader state. Whether you’re exploring a lakeside trail, savoring farm‑to‑table cuisine, or catching a world‑class performance, this region offers a restorative balance to the rigor of critical care. The opportunity to connect with nature on weekends or to immerse yourself in museums, festivals, and diverse dining enriches the professional experience, helping you maintain focus and resilience during demanding shifts.
Working in Rochester means joining a vibrant medical community that values teamwork, innovation, and patient‑centered care. You’ll enjoy access to respected academic medical centers and community hospitals with state‑of‑the‑art ICU resources, along with the flexibility to explore assignments at other locations across the United States if you crave variety. The role blends a steady, rewarding schedule with the potential to broaden your professional network, gain cross‑facility exposure, and participate in portfolio‑building experiences that strengthen your ICU specialty profile. Supportive leadership, peer collaboration, and structured opportunities for rounding out your skill set create an environment where ambition is nurtured and accomplishments are celebrated.
Key responsibilities include conducting comprehensive ICU assessments, monitoring hemodynamics, arterial and central lines, ventilator management, titrating vasoactive medications, and implementing complex treatment plans. You’ll collaborate with physicians, surgeons, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and case managers to optimize outcomes and ensure seamless transitions of care. The position supports significant professional growth through exposure to diverse case mixes, access to continuing education, simulation training, and potential specialty certifications such as CCRN. Competitive benefits include a sign‑on bonus, housing assistance, and meaningful extension opportunities to extend your contract based on performance and staffing needs. You’ll receive a robust support network, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel team and on‑site clinical support when you’re navigating a new site or complex case. The program emphasizes safety, compliance, and well‑being, with comprehensive orientation and ongoing guidance as you move between assignments, ensuring you never walk a complex case alone.
Our company is grounded in empowering our staff to thrive, offering clear career progression paths, mentorship from seasoned leaders, and a culture that prioritizes wellbeing, respect, and professional dignity. You’ll be part of a community that rewards initiative, curiosity, and resilience, with leaders who listen and invest in your development.
