Travel Registered Nurse ER Job
Machias, ME
Contracted
Down East Community Hospital
Mid Level
Step into the high‑impact world of emergency care as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in the Emergency Department in Machias, Maine. This is your invitation to bring steadiness, skill, and empathy to patients at their most vulnerable moments while discovering a community famed for its rugged coastlines, forest trails, and welcoming neighborhoods. Beginning March 10, 2026, you’ll join a dedicated team where rapid assessment, decisive action, and compassionate communication converge to deliver life‑saving care. You’ll have the opportunity to expand your horizons beyond one location, embracing travel across diverse U.S. sites while staying anchored to a role that honors clinical excellence and patient advocacy. Machias offers a unique blend of small‑town charm and access to Maine’s incomparable outdoors—where morning shifts can be followed by sunset hikes along the Downeast coastline, whale watching excursions, or peaceful moments by the river. Picture yourself making a meaningful difference here, then recharging in a region known for its natural beauty, friendly locals, and a pace that respects both professional ambition and personal well‑being.
Working in Machias combines the appeal of a picturesque New England setting with the dynamic, in‑demand environment of an ER. You’ll benefit from a flexible travel model that allows you to serve communities ranging from coastal towns to larger hubs across the country, gaining exposure to a wide spectrum of presentations, protocols, and multidisciplinary teams. In this role, you’ll contribute to high‑quality triage, rapid stabilization, and patient‑centered care for adults and children alike, while building a robust professional network of clinicians who share your commitment to excellence. The region’s access to outdoor recreation, seasonal festivals, and state parks means you can plan restorative downtime—kayaking along the Machias River, exploring the Bold Coast, or savoring fresh seafood at local harbors—helping you maintain resilience during busy shifts. Travel opportunities across the U.S. also open doors to learning different electronic health record systems, adapting to varied patient demographics, and refining critical thinking under pressure, all while you continue to grow as a leader in emergency nursing.
In this ER RN role, you’ll own responsibilities that sharpen expertise and accelerate career growth. Expect to perform comprehensive patient assessments, initiate or adjust resuscitation protocols, administer medications and IV therapies, monitor cardiac rhythms, assist with procedures, and collaborate with physicians, respiratory therapists, and case management to expedite safe discharges or transfers. You’ll participate in evidence‑based practice, apply trauma and pediatric care protocols, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that elevate patient outcomes. The position emphasizes ongoing professional development—opportunities to pursue certifications like ACLS or ENLS, participate in simulation training, and take on preceptorship duties for newer staff. The role also highlights competitive benefits, including a signing bonus, robust housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions that align with your personal and professional goals. Across the travel assignments, you’ll receive 24/7 support from a dedicated team, ensuring smooth onboarding, seamless shift changes, and rapid resolution of any challenges you encounter on the road. While you’ll be stepping into demanding, life‑changing work, you’ll do so with the security of a system designed to back you up whenever you need it.
Our company is built on a foundation of empowering staff, prioritizing career advancement, and fostering a supportive, collaborative work environment. You’ll be part of an organization that values your expertise and respects your autonomy, while providing mentorship, structured career pathways, and access to leadership opportunities as you demonstrate clinical excellence and teamwork. The program emphasizes work‑life balance within a travel framework, with attention to reliable scheduling, comprehensive orientation, and steady access to resources that support your well‑being. The culture is one of mutual respect, curiosity, and continuous improvement, where your ideas for enhancing patient care are welcomed and seriously considered. In this environment, your professional development is not an afterthought but a core objective—one that translates into greater responsibilities, expanded skill sets, and a portfolio of experiences you can carry throughout your nursing career.
If you’re ready to elevate your ER nursing career, this assignment offers a compelling path to meaningful impact, professional growth, and personal enrichment. Apply now to join a company that recognizes your critical contribution and is committed to supporting your development every step of the way. Discover the satisfaction of delivering urgent, compassionate care in a setting that values your expertise, honors your goals, and helps you thrive—both on and off shift—as you help shape the future of emergency nursing.
Please note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process. Weekly pay ranges from $1,935 to $1,999 for this assignment, with start date of 03/10/2026 and a duration of several weeks, plus possibilities for extension and additional opportunities as you grow with the program.
