Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Nurse – Charge in Bangor, Maine, where leadership, clinical excellence, and compassionate care come together to elevate every shift you lead. In this pivotal role, you’ll guide a skilled team of nurses, LPNs, and CNAs through dynamic patient care, coordinating assessments, triage decisions, and evidence‑based care plans that influence outcomes across medical, surgical, or specialty floors. You’ll mentor colleagues, delegate with confidence, and model best practices that foster trust, safety, and professional growth. Your impact will be felt not only in patient recovery but in the strength and cohesion of the team you empower. This assignment starts on 03/02/2026, with guaranteed 40 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $2,028-$2,156. You’ll have the opportunity to extend and advance within a supportive framework designed for nurses who lead with care, curiosity, and a relentless focus on quality. And while you’re making a difference on the unit, you’ll also have the chance to experience Maine’s unique charm—its blend of rugged coastline, forested landscapes, coastal towns, and vibrant community life. The state’s beauty is on full display from Acadia’s coastline to pine‑seded forests and serene inland lakes; Bangor itself sits as a welcoming hub with easy access to outdoor adventures, cultural events, and close‑by coastal delights that enrich your off‑shift days.

Location Benefits: Bangor offers more than a clinical home; it provides a community where leadership is valued and nursing practice is supported by colleagues who share your commitment to patient‑centered care. In this location you’ll enjoy a stable hospital environment, robust clinical teams, and opportunities to deepen your expertise through exposure to a broad range of cases in medical‑surgical, telemetry, or specialty settings. The surrounding Maine landscape invites rejuvenation—ponds, rivers, and woodlands for hiking, kayaking, or peaceful getaways after demanding shifts. For travelers seeking variety, the same employer also facilitates opportunities to work at other sites across the United States, offering exposure to different patient populations, facilities, and care models. Whether you choose to remain in Bangor or explore new landscapes through flexible placements, you’ll gain invaluable experiences that broaden your clinical perspective, sharpen leadership skills, and strengthen your professional portfolio. The blend of a welcoming community, lower cost of living, and a supportive hospital network creates a rewarding environment where your leadership makes a tangible difference day after day.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As Charge Nurse, you’ll oversee unit operations and patient flow, ensuring safe, compassionate, and efficient care from admission to discharge. Your responsibilities include supervising and mentoring nursing staff, coordinating multidisciplinary rounds, prioritizing workloads, and maintaining high nursing standards in collaboration with physicians and ancillary teams. You’ll interpret orders, facilitate rapid assessments, guide triage decisions, and ensure accurate documentation, medication safety, and adherence to evidence‑based protocols. You’ll lead quality improvement initiatives, monitor unit metrics, and implement patient‑centered care plans that optimize outcomes, reduce readmissions, and promote patient and family engagement. This role offers substantial professional growth: you’ll refine leadership competencies, pursue specialty certifications, participate in mentorship programs, and have clear pathways toward formal leadership roles within the organization. Benefits are comprehensive and designed with traveling healthcare professionals in mind: competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $2,028-$2,156, plus bonus potential for performance milestones and successful contract renewals. Housing assistance is provided to ease relocation and travel concerns, and extension opportunities are available to reward consistency, reliability, and exemplary performance.
