Travel Registered Nurse PCU Job
Columbia, MO
Contracted
Boone Health
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic journey as a Registered Nurse in Progressive Care (PCU) in Columbia, Missouri, where your expertise will shape patient outcomes during pivotal recovery moments. This travel opportunity invites you to deliver specialized care in a high‑touch PCU setting, guiding patients through steady, monitored progress and complex treatment plans. Start date is 01/05/2026, with a flexible duration measured in weeks and a guaranteed minimum of 36 hours per week. You’ll earn a competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,078 to $2,132, reflecting the value you bring to the team and the care you provide. This is your chance to contribute meaningfully, stretch your clinical capabilities, and build lasting professional relationships within a supportive network.
Missouri’s beauty is easy to discover alongside your duties. From the winding Missouri River and the rolling Ozark hills to the tranquil shores of the Lake of the Ozarks, the state offers outdoor escapes, vibrant towns, and rich history. Columbia itself blends a lively college-town energy with museums, music venues, outdoor trails, and diverse eateries. Whether you’re exploring the scenic Katy Trail, enjoying a summer festival, or simply unwinding in a park after a busy shift, Missouri’s varied landscapes provide refreshing balance to a demanding nursing role. This is a place where professional purpose meets personal inspiration, and where your time off can include sunsets over the water or a stroll through a thriving campus neighborhood.
Location benefits go beyond a single city. You’ll have the stability and community of Columbia, a renowned academic hub with access to nursing collaboration and continuing education. At the same time, opportunities exist to work across diverse locations in the U.S., expanding your clinical horizons and exposing you to different patient populations, hospital cultures, and care models. The experience will strengthen your PCU expertise—from telemetry and cardiac monitoring to complex post‑operative pathways—while offering the adventure and variety that travel nursing is known for. Expect a welcoming environment that values professional growth, work‑life balance, and the practical support you need to thrive on the road.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to advance your career while recognizing your commitment. As a PCU RN, you’ll be responsible for rapid clinical assessments, continuous patient monitoring, and timely escalation of any concerns. You’ll administer medications, interpret telemetry data, manage IV therapies, and ensure safe transitions from PCU to step-down units or discharge. You’ll partner with physicians, case managers, and families to craft individualized care plans, educate patients and caregivers, and contribute to evidence‑based protocols that improve recovery trajectories. The position supports ongoing professional development, with pathways to PCU certification, specialty skill expansion, and leadership opportunities within nursing teams. Competitive benefits include a sign‑on incentive, housing assistance, and the possibility of extended contracts to match your personal and professional goals. We also offer extension opportunities so you can continue building relationships, expertise, and career momentum with teams you trust. Across every shift, you’ll have access to a comprehensive support network that is available 24/7, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone while traveling with the company.
Our company values empowerment, collaboration, and a culture of growth. We are committed to empowering staff to advance their nursing careers in a supportive environment that prioritizes well‑being, learning, and professional fulfillment. You’ll be part of a team that respects your voice, fosters mentorship, and provides structured opportunities for advancement as you demonstrate clinical excellence and leadership potential. The emphasis is on consistent, high‑quality patient care, ongoing education, and a work environment that recognizes your contributions and invests in your future.
