Embark on a transformative travel nursing journey as a Registered Nurse specializing in Med Surg in Hilo, Hawaii. This opportunity places you at the center of compassionate, evidence‑based care where every shift offers a chance to impact lives and elevate your clinical proficiency. In Med Surg, you’ll manage diverse medical and post‑operative cases, partner with multidisciplinary teams, and guide patients through complex recovery with clear communication and expert assessment. You’ll combine technical skill with empathy, addressing pain, monitoring for instability, and coordinating timely discharges to empower patients and families. The island setting amplifies the rewards of your vocation, offering a sense of community, cultural richness, and the chance to recharge between high‑impact clinical moments. Picture mornings on volcanic coastline, afternoons in lush landscapes, and evenings with starry skies after a fulfilling day of patient care. The program supports your travel with a thoughtful, comprehensive package designed to protect your well‑being while you deliver exceptional care. Our emphasis on your growth means you’ll have access to mentorship, ongoing education, and exposure to varied clinical scenarios that sharpen decision‑making and leadership. If you’re ready to expand your horizons beyond a single facility, this opportunity also opens pathways to work in different locations across the U.S., with the same trusted support system accompanying you every step of the way.
Hilo offers a dynamic Med Surg environment on the Big Island, where healthcare teams collaborate in a culture that honors aloha, patience, and patient‑centered care. Expect modern units, interdisciplinary rounds, and opportunities to participate in specialized patient populations. The location rewards include a supportive community, access to natural beauty during off‑duty hours, and a balanced island pace that fosters resilience. In addition to your Hawaii assignment, our travel program enables placements in other states and facilities, allowing you to broaden your clinical repertoire, experience diverse patient needs, and build a network of colleagues nationwide. You’ll benefit from housing assistance that eases relocation and daily life, a competitive weekly pay scale within the stated range, and the opportunity to extend your contract if you and the facility align on goals and performance. This program is designed to support you as you explore new communities while maintaining continuity of care for patients who rely on your expertise.
As a Med Surg RN, your responsibilities will include comprehensive patient assessments, monitoring and interpreting vital signs, managing IV therapies, wound care, pain control, and post‑operative recovery. You’ll coordinate with physicians, nurses, pharmacists, case managers, therapists, and ancillary staff to develop and implement patient‑centered care plans. You’ll facilitate patient and family education, discharge planning, and referrals to community resources. Opportunities for professional growth abound: you can expand into charge nurse roles, pursue specialty tracks, or rotate to related units to diversify experience. The package includes a competitive weekly pay of roughly 1,843 to 1,874, with the potential for bonuses and incentives, plus housing assistance and options for contract extension. You’ll receive robust support from our travel team, including 24/7 real‑time assistance, onboarding help, and continuous access to clinical leads, ensuring you’re never working alone on a new assignment. In addition, you’ll find access to orientation sessions, mentorship from seasoned Med Surg leaders, and structured opportunities to pursue certifications or leadership pathways as you advance.
Our company is committed to empowering our nursing staff, elevating careers through clear pathways for advancement, and nurturing a supportive, inclusive environment. We value professional autonomy balanced with teamwork, proactive communication, and recognition of excellence in patient care. You’ll find a culture that respects your expertise, rewards initiative, and stands by you as you navigate new settings, all while maintaining work‑life harmony and personal well‑being. You’ll be part of a community that supports you with reliable resources, transparent feedback, and opportunities to contribute ideas that improve patient outcomes and unit operations. The emphasis on continuous learning means you’ll have access to ongoing education credits, case reviews, and collaboration with clinical educators who champion best practices in Med Surg care.
