Mid Level
Step into an ICU Travel Registered Nurse role that blends compassionate patient care with cutting‑edge critical care in Syracuse, New York. In this dynamic assignment, you’ll lead high‑stakes interventions, guide multidisciplinary teams, and elevate patient outcomes while embracing the camaraderie and professional respect that comes with working among top clinicians. Starting 03/06/2026 for a flexible number of weeks, you’ll join a nationwide network that prioritizes your clinical expertise, autonomy, and voice in shaping better care. This is more than a job; it’s a purposeful journey that honors your commitment to excellence and your drive to grow in the most demanding corner of nursing.
Beyond the bedside, you’ll discover a state rich with natural beauty and cultural vibrancy. Take a moment to imagine strolling along the Onondaga Lake waterfront, savoring a performance at the Syracuse Stage, or exploring the thriving coffee houses and farm-to-table eateries that define Central New York. If you have a free weekend, the region’s accessible adventures—from the tranquil shores of nearby lakes to scenic hiking trails—offer balance and renewal. And as a travel professional, you’ll benefit from opportunities to broaden your horizons across the United States, gaining exposure to a spectrum of critical care environments that sharpen your skills and expand your professional network.
Location Benefits: Syracuse delivers a unique blend of medicine, education, and lifestyle. You’ll work with renowned healthcare teams that prize evidence‑based practice and patient‑centered care, while enjoying affordable living, convenient transportation, and a vibrant community that welcomes travelers. The role also provides the flexibility to work in additional U.S. locations through our travel network, exposing you to diverse ICU configurations—from academic medical centers to community hospitals—and offering experiences that strengthen your clinical judgment and adaptability. In every setting, you’ll have access to state‑of‑the‑art equipment, patient population variety, and the support you need to deliver safe, effective care without compromising your wellbeing.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Core responsibilities include managing critically ill patients with complex respiratory failure, sepsis, post‑operative instability, hemodynamic monitoring, ventilator management, and rapid‑response coordination. You’ll interpret hemodynamics, titrate vasoactive infusions, perform central line management when required, and collaborate with physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and bedside nurses to implement care plans that move patients toward stabilization and recovery.
- You’ll lead by example in evidence‑based practice, ensuring accurate documentation, timely rounds, and adherence to safety protocols while mentoring junior nurses and supporting a nurturing team culture.
- Professional growth is a hallmark of this assignment. You’ll have opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, participate in unit quality improvement projects, and access leadership pathways as you demonstrate expertise in critical care dynamics and patient advocacy.
- Competitive compensation is complemented by a structured benefits package, including a welcome bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions to fit your career plans. Weekly pay ranges from $2,038 to $2,167, reflecting experience and assignment details, with the guarantee hours to be confirmed during the hiring process.
- Comprehensive support runs 24/7 as you travel with the company, ensuring you have experienced back‑office assistance, credentialing support, and local onboarding, so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care from day one.
- The role offers flexible scheduling to help you balance intensity with rest, enabling sustainable performance across back‑to‑back shifts and varied unit needs. You’ll be part of a network that values continuity of care and your ability to adapt to evolving clinical priorities.
Company Values: We are committed to empowering our nurses to grow, lead, and innovate within a supportive environment.
