Travel Registered Nurse ER Job
Waimea, HI
Contracted
Kauai Veteran's Memorial Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic journey as a Traveling Registered Nurse in the ER in Waimea, Hawaii, where your clinical expertise meets the urgent, life‑saving rhythm of emergency care amid volcanic skies and ocean breezes. This opportunity isn’t just about filling a shift; it’s about stepping into a role where fast decisions, compassionate communication, and technical precision converge to transform patient outcomes in real time. You will triage, stabilize, and treat with immediacy and empathy, collaborating with physicians, techs, and support teams to deliver care that is as efficient as it is humane. Start date is March 9, 2026, with contracts spanning multiple weeks and the potential to extend based on patient volume, unit needs, and your demonstrated performance. Weekly pay ranges from $2,533 to $2,726, reflecting your level of expertise and the value you bring to a dynamic ER team. While guaranteed hours are not set, you’ll find ongoing opportunities to extend placements that fit your goals and lifestyle, with clear pathways to growth and leadership within the ER specialty.
Separately, Hawaii’s beauty is a constant companion to your professional life. In Waimea, you’ll experience rugged lava landscapes, verdant puna fields, and a pace that blends aloha with purpose. When downtime arrives, you can explore Waimea Canyon’s dramatic vistas, hike along lush trails, or unwind on pristine beaches along the Kohala Coast. The state’s diverse ecosystems invite restorative moments, from stargazing atop Mauna Kea to snorkeling in crystalline bays. And beyond Waimea, Hawaii offers a tapestry of beaches, waterfalls, and volcanic landscapes that inspire balance, resilience, and a renewed sense of mission—proof that healing extends beyond the patient in the bed.
Location benefits extend beyond the island’s natural allure. Working in Waimea provides exposure to a unique mix of rural-urban dynamics, where rural hospital acuity meets the demands of a community that values swift, high‑quality care. The assignment also opens opportunities to be considered for additional locations across the United States, enabling you to broaden your clinical repertoire, experience diverse patient populations, and cultivate new professional connections. You’ll gain access to state‑of‑the‑art medical resources and collaborative teams that encourage evidence‑based practice, rapid learning, and the application of cutting‑edge protocols in a high‑volume ED environment. The program supports flexible scheduling, allowing you to optimize your rotation, rest, and personal time while continuing to build your professional portfolio.
Role specifics are designed to advance your expertise within emergency medicine. You will lead rapid assessment and triage, initiate resuscitation protocols, perform invasive and noninvasive monitoring, establish airway management when needed, and administer critical medications with precision. You’ll coordinate with physicians and allied health professionals to implement diagnostic plans, interpret results, and communicate care plans to patients and families in clear, compassionate terms. Documentation will be thorough and compliant, with emphasis on patient safety, pain management, and infection prevention. You’ll participate in debriefings and quality improvement activities, contributing to systemwide improvements that enhance patient flow and outcomes. The position emphasizes ongoing professional growth: opportunities to pursue advanced certifications, participate in CME activities, and take on expanded responsibilities within the ER team, including potential mentorship roles for newer travelers or staff.
In terms of benefits, you’ll receive a competitive offer that includes a sign‑on or completion bonus, housing assistance or stipends, and the potential for contract extensions to fit your long‑term plans. We provide robust 24/7 support for traveling clinicians, with a dedicated team available around the clock to assist with scheduling, housing, credentialing, and any on‑the‑road needs. You’ll also enjoy comprehensive benefits designed to promote your well‑being and career success, including access to clinical resources, continuing education allowances, and a supportive network of peers and leaders who are invested in your growth. Travel assignments are structured to maximize your clinical impact while offering you flexibility to pursue personal interests, family needs, or long‑term career goals.
Company values center on empowering healthcare professionals to advance their careers in a nurturing, inclusive environment. We prioritize mentoring, constructive feedback, and transparent communications that elevate every member of the team. When you join, you’ll enter a culture that sees your expertise, voices, and aspirations as essential to delivering exceptional patient care. The organization is committed to professional development, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and to creating a workplace where clinicians can thrive, innovate, and lead with confidence. You’ll find a community that supports ambitious goals—from pursuing certifications to expanding into leadership roles—while maintaining the balance needed to sustain long, fulfilling careers in emergency nursing.
