In your ER role, you’ll triage and assess acuity, initiate treatment, perform sterile procedures, administer medications, monitor hemodynamics, support resuscitation efforts, and communicate clearly with physicians, respiratory therapists, and case managers. You’ll own patient flow, optimize bed utilization, and advocate for safe, compassionate care from arrival through discharge. The position emphasizes growth within Emergency Medicine, offering structured onboarding, access to specialty continuing education, and opportunities for mentorship and leadership as you gain experience. The package features competitive weekly pay in the range of 1,934 to 2,124, with potential bonuses for performance and length of assignment, plus housing assistance and extension opportunities to maximize stability and continuity of care.

You’ll benefit from a comprehensive support framework that includes 24/7 travel assistance, credentialing support, and dedicated clinical coordinators who respond instantly to scheduling changes, shifts, or patient surges. Expect robust onboarding on local protocols, safety standards, and advanced life support requirements, plus the chance to collaborate with high performing teams dedicated to quality outcomes. The assignments are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing for variable durations and the option to extend when you and the facility see a good fit, so your career trajectory remains dynamic rather than static. Our clinicians also gain access to wellness resources, peer networks, and debrief opportunities to maintain resilience in demanding environments.
