Travel Registered Nurse Med Surg Job
Los Angeles, CA
Contracted
Adventist Health White Memorial
Mid Level
Step into a transformative role as a Registered Nurse (Med Surg) in sunny California, with placement in Los Angeles beginning 01/05/2026. This is more than a travel assignment—it's your opportunity to elevate patient care across dynamic medical-surgical units, shaping recovery journeys and expanding your clinical influence. As you bring expert assessment, skilled interventions, and compassionate communication to diverse teams, you’ll experience the satisfaction of advancing standards of care while building lasting professional connections in one of the nation’s most vibrant health ecosystems. And when you’re ready for a change of scenery, California’s iconic landscapes—from sun-drenched beaches to alpine vistas and scenic wine country—offer a backdrop that refreshes the mind as you devote your energy to outstanding care.
California’s beauty is more than scenery; it’s a daily invitation to explore. Imagine days off spent strolling along the Pacific coastline, savoring world-class cuisine in a mosaic of neighborhoods, or venturing into nearby mountains for a weekend hike. LA’s cultural richness—from museums and performing arts to sports and entertainment—complements your professional journey, while the state’s extensive healthcare network connects you to advanced facilities and ongoing education. The opportunity to work in Los Angeles also opens doors to explore other U.S. locations through our nationwide assignments, delivering the same level of clinical challenge and support in diverse hospital settings while you grow your breadth of experience.
Location benefits are a cornerstone of this role. In Los Angeles, you’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on high-acuity med-surg floors, access robust professional development resources, and engage with communities that remind you why you chose nursing. You’ll enjoy competitive pay with a weekly range of $1,670–$1,768, plus the flexibility to extend assignments and rotate through additional facilities nationwide if you wish to broaden your clinical repertoire. While the listed hours aren’t guaranteed (0.0 guaranteed hours), you’ll have predictable, negotiable scheduling aligned with unit needs and your personal goals. The variety of patient populations and case mixes in LA—and the ability to take on shifts across the country—offers you a rich professional tapestry, from postoperative care to complex medical conditions, enabling growth in every facet of med-surg nursing.
Role specifics and benefits are thoughtfully designed to support your success. As a Med Surg RN, you’ll provide high-quality direct patient care, conducting thorough assessments, developing and updating care plans, and prioritizing patient safety. You’ll administer medications, manage IV therapies, wound care, and post-surgical monitoring, and you’ll coordinate discharge planning with families and other care providers. Your clinical leadership will shine through accurate documentation, adherence to evidence-based guidelines, and proactive escalation when patient status changes. You’ll mentor newer staff, share best practices, and pursue opportunities to advance within your specialty—whether through certifications, leadership tracks, or expanded responsibilities on the floor. We offer a competitive benefits package that includes a potential signing bonus, housing assistance to ease transition, and opportunities for contract extension to maximize continuity and career momentum. In addition, you’ll receive 24/7 support from a designated traveling team, ensuring you never navigate challenges alone while you’re on assignment. Ongoing access to resources—clinical ladders, education stipends, and recognition programs—helps you deepen expertise and feel valued for every achievement.
Our values center on empowerment. The company is committed to elevating your career through structured development, mentorship, and a culture of collaboration that respects your voice. You’ll be part of a supportive network that prioritizes safety, patient-centered care, and professional growth, with leaders who champion flexible pathways to advancement and recognition for contributions that improve patient outcomes. You’ll experience a work environment that prioritizes work-life balance, respects your lived expertise, and fosters a sense of belonging and purpose. This is a place where your clinical judgment matters, your ongoing education is supported, and your career trajectory is in your hands.
Ready to take the next step? Apply now to join a team that values your dedication and invests in your growth. This role offers a dynamic balance of clinical challenge, personal development, and the freedom to explore diverse locations while delivering exceptional patient care. Start your journey in Los Angeles with a pathway to broader experiences across the U.S., all while contributing to outcomes that matter and building a lasting professional legacy in med-surg nursing.
The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
