Picture yourself delivering expert clinical support amid a patient-centered culture, where every day brings opportunities to refine your practice, collaborate with diverse teams, and grow your leadership skills. Beyond the hospital walls, New York’s scenic charm awaits—a city-rich with world-class museums, thriving culinary scenes, and outdoor adventures along the Finger Lakes, near Lake Ontario, and into the nearby Adirondacks. From tranquil waterfront parks to seasonal festivals, this state offers moments of inspiration that complement the rewarding work you’ll do at the bedside. The Rochester area itself combines a welcoming community feel with modern amenities, excellent schools, and affordable living, making it an attractive base for a travel nurse who values both professional challenge and quality of life.

The city’s proximity to the Finger Lakes wine region and outdoor recreation—hiking, boating, fall foliage, and scenic drives—provides ample opportunities to unwind after shifts. For travel nurses who savor variety, our program also offers the chance to work in other locations across the U.S., expanding your professional exposure and introducing you to new patient populations, hospital systems, and care models. You’ll join a community that values your skill set and respects your work‑life balance, with resources to help you thrive in a dynamic travel assignment while staying connected to home base.

You’ll collaborate with physicians, case managers, and multidisciplinary teams to develop and implement individualized care plans, facilitate safe discharges, and educate patients and families to promote adherence and understanding. You’ll be encouraged to identify opportunities for improvement, participate in rounding and huddles, and mentor newer staff or traveling teammates. This role is structured to support professional growth within the Med Surg Tele specialty, with access to ongoing education, skill enhancement, and leadership experiences as you demonstrate clinical excellence and reliable collaboration.
Compensation and perks are designed to be competitive and meaningful. Weekly pay ranges from $2,740 to $2,868, reflecting your experience and credentials.
