Sonora, CA

Adventist Health Sonora
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Registered Nurse specializing in ICU, bringing your critical care expertise to Sonora, California. This weeks-long assignment, beginning on 03/16/2026, invites you to make a tangible difference in the lives of patients and their families while advancing your skills in a fast-paced, compassionate environment. Picture yourself stepping into a role where every shift challenges you to blend precise clinical judgment with warmth, clear communication, and teamwork. Beyond the hospital walls, California's diverse landscapes—from rolling foothills to vibrant small-town culture—offer moments of retreat and inspiration after demanding days in the ICU. Whether you choose to anchor your experience in Sonora or expand across other California locations and even the broader U.S., you’ll find a setting that aligns with both your professional goals and personal interests, enhancing your career while enriching your life.
Location benefits go beyond a single city. Sonora is a welcoming community nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, known for its friendly neighborhoods, historic charm, and access to outdoor adventures. You’ll have the chance to enjoy a balanced lifestyle that supports sustained clinical excellence—short commutes, supportive colleagues, and opportunities to engage with a region famed for its scenic drives, cultural events, farmers’ markets, and a sense of belonging that only a tight-knit California town can offer. For nurses seeking broader horizons, our program also provides the possibility to work in various locations across the U.S., delivering exposure to different patient populations, hospital systems, and care models. This breadth of experience sharpens clinical acumen, expands professional networks, and opens doors to leadership roles and specialty certifications within ICU care.
Role specifics and benefits form the core of this opportunity. As an ICU Registered Nurse, you’ll be entrusted with critical responsibilities that demand vigilance, technical proficiency, and excellent judgment. Your core duties will include monitoring and interpreting complex hemodynamic data, managing ventilated patients, titrating vasoactive infusions, conducting comprehensive neuro, cardiovascular, and respiratory assessments, and implementing evidence-based interventions to stabilize and accelerate recovery. You’ll lead care planning in collaboration with intensivists, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and allied professionals, partake actively in daily rounds, and ensure timely communication with families about prognosis, care goals, and transitions. The position offers pathways for professional growth within critical care, including exposure to advanced procedures, weaning protocols, sepsis management, and opportunities to contribute to quality improvement initiatives that enhance patient outcomes. In addition to clinical duties, you’ll mentor newer staff, uphold infection control standards, and participate in continuous education that keeps you at the forefront of ICU practice.
We emphasize a robust benefits package designed to attract and retain dedicated professionals. This role offers competitive weekly pay in the range of $1,846 to $1,980, reflecting the high level of expertise, responsibility, and shift dynamics involved. In addition to earnings, you may qualify for a welcome or performance bonus, recognizing your commitment and success in delivering exceptional patient care. Housing assistance helps ease the logistics of travel nursing, letting you focus on clinical excellence rather than housing challenges. There are extension opportunities for contracts that align with your goals, providing continuity and the chance to deepen your impact within ICU teams. A dedicated, experienced support team is available around the clock—24/7—while you travel with the company, ensuring immediate assistance, guidance, and resources whenever you need them. It’s worth noting that the assigned hours are not guaranteed; this program operates in a dynamic staffing environment, with shifts scheduled to meet patient needs and client requirements. We encourage you to discuss scheduling preferences and potential extensions during the hiring process to maximize stability within the flexible framework.
Company values underpin every aspect of the experience. The organization is grounded in empowering its staff—celebrating clinical excellence, supporting ongoing education, and fostering a culture of collaboration and respect. We invest in your career advancement by providing mentorship, access to specialty certifications, and opportunities to assume roles of increasing responsibility within ICU teams. The environment is designed to be supportive, inclusive, and responsive to your professional development, ensuring you feel valued and capable as you navigate complex clinical pathways and evolving patient needs.
