Hilo, HI

Hilo Medical Center
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Registered Nurse in Medical-Surgical (Med Surg), bringing expert bedside care to a premier facility in Hilo, Hawaii. This multi-week assignment invites you to lead dynamic patient care, coordinate complex plans, and mentor teammates while you immerse yourself in the aloha spirit and the island’s remarkable landscapes. Your Med Surg skills will anchor a high-energy unit where you’ll advocate for patient safety, deliver evidence-based interventions, and partner with physicians, case managers, and ancillary staff to ensure smooth transitions from admission to discharge. Off duty, you’ll discover Hawaii’s breathtaking beauty—tropical rainforests, cascading waterfalls, volcanic vistas, pristine beaches, and vibrant local culture—creating a balanced rhythm between challenging clinical work and restorative island life.
Location benefits extend beyond your Hilo base. Picture presenting patient-centered care amid a community that blends tradition with innovation, where warm welcomes and a slower pace of life support your focus and resilience. In Hilo you’ll enjoy easy access to coastline strolls, botanical gardens, and the glow of Pacific sunsets after your shift. For those who crave broader horizons, this assignment offers the opportunity to rotate to other locations across the United States, expanding your professional network and enriching your practice with diverse case mixes, patient populations, and hospital cultures. The program is designed to provide you with the flexibility to tailor assignments to your interests, while maintaining clear clinical standards and robust support.
Role specifics and benefits: As a Med Surg RN in this travel assignment, you’ll manage a broad spectrum of adult medical-surgical patients, including post-operative care, chronic disease management, telemetry observation, wound and ostomy care, IV therapies, and pain management, all while maintaining meticulous documentation and fostering patient and family education. You’ll assess and triage acuity, partner with interdisciplinary teams to develop and implement care plans, and identify opportunities for safety and quality improvements. The role emphasizes ongoing professional growth: you’ll gain proficiency across a diverse patient mix, refine critical thinking under pressure, and expand leadership competencies through precepting and collaborative workflows. Competitive benefits include a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and clear opportunities for contract extensions or renewals, enabling you to build a sustained presence in a field you’re passionate about. A dedicated support team is available 24/7 to assist you as you travel, coordinate housing, and troubleshoot any needs that arise on assignment, ensuring you can focus on clinical excellence. The schedule is designed to accommodate your life and career goals, with flexible shifts and the potential to balance intensity with restorative time in a setting steeped in natural beauty and community spirit.
The company values your contributions and is committed to empowering your career trajectory. You’ll be part of an organization that prioritizes mentorship, continuing education, and transparent pathways to advancement. Expect a nurturing environment where your clinical expertise is respected, your professional development is funded, and your voice is heard in shaping patient care practices. The guidance and resources you receive are aimed at helping you thrive as you expand your Med Surg repertoire, elevate patient outcomes, and emerge as a confident leader within your specialty.
Call to action: If you’re a dedicated RN ready to impact patients on the Big Island while exploring one of the world’s most stunning locations, this is your opportunity to join a company that values your clinical excellence and your growth. Begin your journey on 04/06/2026, for a multi-week assignment that blends rigorous, rewarding work with the unparalleled experiences Hawaii has to offer, plus the option to rotate to other sites nationwide for additional variety and advancement.
