This isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to shape outcomes in a fast paced, life saving environment where every decision can change a life. You’ll join a dedicated team that values speed, precision, and compassionate patient interaction amid the energy of a community renowned for its sunny skies and friendly faces. As you rotate through different shifts and cases, you’ll refine critical thinking, build leadership skills, and gain exposure to a broad spectrum of emergency medicine. You’ll be part of a supportive network that understands the demands of travel nursing and delivers resources designed to help you thrive—clinical mentorship, streamlined onboarding, and a culture that treats your expertise as essential. This assignment is structured to elevate your practice, expand your clinical repertoire, and empower you to make a meaningful difference for patients and families when they need it most. California offers more than work; it offers a canvas for growth, learning, and a life well lived, with access to vibrant communities, diverse patient populations, and opportunities to connect with colleagues who share your commitment to excellent care.
Located in beautiful San Luis Obispo, you’ll enjoy a coastal lifestyle with a mild climate, scenic beauty, and a community that blends outdoor adventure with cultural richness. The Central Coast is known for its picturesque coastline, Morro Bay views, Pismo Beach sunsets, and easy access to the famed wine country of Paso Robles. When you’re off shift, you’ll have the chance to explore hiking trails, bike along forested headlands, or savor farm-to-table cuisine that reflects the area’s agricultural bounty. For travelers who crave variety, there’s the appeal of working in different locations across the U.S.—experiencing new hospital environments, patient populations, and regional practices that will broaden your ER skill set and deepen your professional versatility.
Role specifics and benefits: as an ER RN on travel assignment, you’ll lead rapid assessment and stabilization of patients presenting with a wide range of emergencies. Key responsibilities include triage, initial and ongoing patient assessment, monitoring of vital signs, administration of medications, placement of IV lines, airway management, and collaboration with physicians, specialists, and ancillary teams to determine the most effective treatment plan. You’ll participate in code activations, trauma care, and high-acuity cases, while documenting care accurately in electronic health records. The role offers robust professional growth within emergency medicine, with opportunities to expand your scope through cross-training, exposure to diverse case mixes, and potential leadership experiences in temporary departments. You’ll benefit from a competitive bonus structure, housing assistance to reduce living costs while on assignment, and extension opportunities that allow you to stay longer in locations you enjoy or to pursue additional shifts for career advancement. A dedicated, 24/7 support team is available to assist you while you travel with the company, ensuring smooth logistics, timely issue resolution, and reliable access to resources when you need them most. This assignment is designed to be challenging yet rewarding, with a clear path to refining acute care skills, developing resilience, and building a standout ER resume.
