Working in Waimea places you in a setting that blends pristine landscapes with a dynamic healthcare environment.

This mobility gives you the advantage of exploring new communities, hospital systems, and patient populations, expanding your clinical perspective and professional network.

As an ER RN in this assignment, you’ll be at the forefront of urgent care, delivering high‑quality, patient‑centered care in fast‑paced environments. Core responsibilities include triaging incoming arrivals, conducting rapid initial assessments, and initiating treatment for a spectrum of emergencies—trauma, chest pain, dyspnea, stroke alerts, and sepsis protocols. You’ll monitor vitals, establish airways when needed, administer medications, interpret EKGs, obtain imaging orders, and collaborate with physicians, respiratory therapists, technologists, and case management to coordinate patient flow and disposition. Your leadership will guide patient safety and comfort, documentation accuracy, and adherence to evidence‑based practice and performance metrics. The role offers frequent opportunities to broaden expertise through certifications and cross‑training, with company funding and support for growth in areas such as ACLS, PALS, ENPC, and specialty tracks within emergency and critical care. In addition, you’ll contribute to quality improvement initiatives, participate in disaster drills, and mentor new staff, building a well‑rounded, resilient clinical profile.
This assignment provides competitive benefits designed to attract and retain top talent. Expect a rewarding compensation package with a weekly pay range of $2,654 to $2,784, reflecting your experience and the demands of the ER environment. A welcome bonus supports your transition, and housing assistance helps reduce living expenses while you focus on clinical excellence. There are extension opportunities to continue your travel experience and expand your clinical footprint, should you choose to remain with the program beyond the initial term. While guaranteed hours are not mandated, the scheduling framework is designed to maximize your flexibility and align with patient needs, seasonal demand, and your personal preferences. Additional benefits include health coverage, retirement plan options, travel stipends, and per diem allowances where applicable. A dedicated team handles credentialing, relocation logistics, and site onboarding to ensure a smooth, compliant start, plus 24/7 support throughout your travel experience. You will work with a supportive clinical operations team that understands the pulse of emergency care and the nuances of travel nursing, ensuring you have the resources you need to excel.
The company is founded on empowering its staff, with a clear focus on career advancement and a nurturing, collaborative work environment.
