Utica, NY
Contracted
MVHS Wynn Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Nurse in the PCU in Utica, New York, where your expertise bridges acute care and recovery with compassion, precision, and leadership. In this Progressive Care Unit specialty, you’ll be at the heart of patient stabilization, rapid assessment, and thoughtful transition planning, guiding patients from higher-acuity care toward safer, steadier progress. Picture the trust you’ll earn from patients and families as you translate complex clinical data into clear, actionable care plans. Your impact will be felt daily—through vigilant monitoring, skilled interventions, and collaborative teamwork that elevates outcomes. This opportunity begins February 16, 2026, for several weeks with the potential to extend based on need, performance, and evolving patient care requirements. Beyond the hospital corridors, you’ll discover New York’s beauty and diversity, from the Mohawk Valley’s heritage to rolling countryside views and vibrant local communities, offering a rewarding backdrop to your professional journey.
Utica’s appeal goes beyond a single hospital floor. Working here means engaging with a community hospital ecosystem that blends strong clinical collaboration with a welcoming, supportive atmosphere. You’ll enjoy a cost-conscious lifestyle, accessible amenities, and the chance to immerse yourself in a city that values culture, regional cuisine, and outdoor recreation. For nurses who crave variety, the opportunity to work in multiple locations across the U.S. can broaden your clinical perspective, expose you to different patient populations, and enrich your professional network. Whether you’re exploring serene parks along the river, catching a performance downtown, or venturing a short drive to the Adirondacks, this role offers the best of both professional challenge and satisfying personal experiences.
Role specifics and benefits come together to support your growth and security. As a PCU RN, you will conduct thorough patient assessments, monitor telemetry and vital signs, administer medications and IV therapies, and recognize early signs of deterioration to initiate timely interventions. You’ll participate in care planning conferences, coordinate with physicians, pharmacists, and case managers, and drive efficient discharge planning to support smoother transitions home or to higher levels of care. You’ll mentor new staff and collaborate with experienced nurses to refine clinical judgment, refine triage strategies, and enhance patient education. The position offers a competitive weekly wage ranging from $2,154 to $2,297, with guaranteed 36 hours per week, ensuring steadiness amid project-based scheduling. In addition to competitive pay, you’ll have access to a sign-on or completion bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary lodging, and opportunities to extend your contract as demand and performance align. The path here is designed to cultivate expertise within the PCU scope, with potential for specialty certifications, leadership roles, and expanded responsibilities as you demonstrate clinical excellence.
Support and stability are cornerstones of the experience. You’ll receive comprehensive, round-the-clock support from a travel health network and a dedicated assignment team that is available 24/7 as you move through different locations with the company. From pre-placement orientation and onboarding to ongoing clinical updates and emergency assistance, you’ll never feel alone as you chart a course through diverse clinical settings. You’ll benefit from structured onboarding, mentorship from seasoned PCU nurses, and access to continuous education resources that keep you at the forefront of best practices in intermediate care. The arrangement is designed to be collaborative, with clear performance feedback, regular check-ins, and a culture that values each nurse’s contributions and professional growth.
Company values drive every aspect of this opportunity. Our organization is committed to empowering staff, prioritizing career advancement, and fostering a supportive work environment where compassion and clinical excellence go hand in hand. You’ll join colleagues who value integrity, teamwork, and patient-centered care, with leadership that invests in your development through formal training, leadership pathways, and opportunities to broaden your scope within the PCU and related specialties. The environment is designed to challenge you while ensuring you feel supported, heard, and valued as a vital member of the care team.
