Step into a pivotal ER nursing role in Utica, New York, where urgent action meets compassionate care and every shift offers the chance to save lives, comfort families, and sharpen your clinical acumen. As a Registered Nurse specializing in Emergency Care, you’ll be at the front lines of triage, rapid assessment, and decisive interventions, orchestrating patient stabilization alongside skilled physicians and multidisciplinary teams. This contract assignment starts on 03/23/2026 and is designed to deliver meaningful, hands‑on experience across a spectrum of acuities. If you thrive under pressure, relish fast turnarounds, and want to expand your expertise in trauma, cardiac, pediatric, and general medicine emergencies, you’ll find a fulfilling home here. Beyond the clinical impact, you’ll discover a state celebrated for its natural splendor: the Adirondack Mountains, the sparkling Finger Lakes, the historic Hudson Valley, and countless scenic byways offer serene escapes after demanding shifts. Utica sits at the heart of central New York, combining a supportive healthcare community with accessible culture, dining, and outdoor recreation.

Location benefits you’ll feel daily include the warmth of a tight‑knit clinical network, a manageable drive to Syracuse and Albany for occasional cross‑facility collaborations, and a living environment that balances professional focus with high quality of life. The opportunity also supports practice across multiple locations across the U.S. as needed, enriching your perspectives with diverse patient populations, hospital workflows, and clinical protocols. You’ll enjoy predictable, guaranteed hours—36 per week—paired with a stable schedule designed to maximize patient care and personal well‑being. While you’re rooted in Utica, the broader experience invites you to step into varied settings, expanding your capabilities while maintaining the reliability of a trusted travel partner. This blend of local attachment and national exposure creates a uniquely rewarding career pathway for ER nurses who seek growth without sacrificing consistency.

Role specifics and benefits: As an ER RN, you’ll deliver comprehensive emergency care from intake to disposition. Core responsibilities include rapid patient assessment and monitoring, initiating life‑saving interventions, conducting focused history and physicals, establishing IV access, administering medications and emergent therapies, and coordinating with physicians for procedures and consults. You’ll perform accurate documentation, implement trauma protocols, manage invasive lines, and contribute to infection control, safety, and patient education. You’ll lead prioritization in a fast‑paced environment, communicate clearly with families during stressful moments, and ensure smooth handoffs during transitions of care. The role offers substantial professional growth: broaden your expertise across trauma resuscitation, critical care concepts, pediatric emergencies, and high‑acuity decision making, with access to mentorship, continuing education, and opportunities to advance into leadership or specialized practice tracks within the ER.

Benefits are designed to recognize your expertise and commitment. Expect a competitive compensation package with weekly pay between $2,093 and $2,171, reflecting your experience and the demands of the assignment. In addition, you may receive a signing or completion bonus, depending on the specific contract terms.
