Mount Nittany Health
Mid Level
Step into the fast paced, life changing world of emergency care as an ER Registered Nurse in State College, Pennsylvania. This is your invitation to apply your expertise where every moment counts and every patient story matters. In this role you will be at the center of urgent decision making, delivering compassionate, evidence based care to diverse populations. You’ll triage, stabilize, and support patients through critical moments, collaborating with physicians, technicians, and specialty teams to restore calm and recovery. Beyond the hospital walls, Pennsylvania reveals its natural charm: the rolling ridges of the Appalachians, the wooded trails and serene parks around Rothrock State Forest, and the welcoming, college town atmosphere of State College that makes long shifts feel meaningful and connected. Imagine finishing a shift with the satisfaction that comes from making a tangible difference, then unwinding in a region famed for outdoor exploration, local farms, and engaging cultural events that celebrate community resiliency.
Location benefits are clear. State College offers a balanced blend of academic vitality from nearby Penn State and the warmth of a serviced community that supports travelers with ease. In addition to this strong local base, the role offers the opportunity to work across various locations in the United States, expanding your clinical repertoire while you enjoy new environments, patient populations, and health system cultures. Travel assignments give you exposure to urban trauma centers, suburban emergency departments, rural community hospitals, and everything in between. You’ll sharpen your assessment skills in high volume settings, encounter a broad spectrum of presenting illnesses, and build a versatile professional profile that enhances your resume and accelerates credentialing pathways—all while enjoying the stability of guaranteed hours and predictable scheduling.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to maximize your impact and your growth. As the ER RN on this contract, you will conduct rapid triage, perform initial and ongoing assessments, initiate life-saving interventions, administer medications, and monitor complex monitors and telemetry. You will interpret EKGs, assist with invasive procedures, perform wound care, manage airway support, and coordinate care transitions with physicians, social workers, case managers, and ancillary teams. Your leadership and teamwork will influence patient flow, reduce bottlenecks, and improve outcomes in a high stress environment. The position emphasizes professional development within emergency care, with access to certifications and specialty training in ACLS, PALS, ENA, and other relevant programs. The contract offers a competitive weekly pay in the range of $1,856-$1,947, with guaranteed 36 hours per week, and a clear path for contract extensions if you wish to stay longer or explore new locations. A housing assistance program is available to ease transition between assignments, and there are opportunities for performance related bonuses to recognize your dedication and skill. You’ll have continuous support from a dedicated team, including a 24/7 help line and on demand staffing coordinators, ensuring you’re never navigating a shift alone when traveling with the company.
You’ll also find compelling opportunities for collaboration and innovation. The role allows you to contribute to patient safety initiatives, participate in rapid cycle improvements in the ED, and share best practices with colleagues across sites. The environment is designed to nurture your growth without compromising patient care. Expect mentorship, structured onboarding for travel assignments, and a friendly, inclusive culture that respects your experiences and your career goals. You’ll be supported as you adapt to new teams, new electronic medical record systems, and new hospital protocols, with resources that help you balance intense clinical demands with your personal well-being and ongoing education.
Company values center on empowering staff, fueling career advancement, and fostering a supportive work climate. We are committed to providing a transparent, respectful partnership with you as a traveling professional, ensuring you have access to resources, benefits, and a clear trajectory toward greater responsibilities and specialized expertise. Expect a culture that prioritizes patient outcomes, clinician wellness, diversity of experience, and the professional dignity of every nurse.
