Aspen, CO

Aspen Valley Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Nurse in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) in Aspen, Colorado, where specialized skills meet breathtaking scenery. This travel assignment begins on 01/12/2026 and unfolds over several weeks, offering a defined yet flexible schedule focused on professional growth, patient impact, and personal resilience. In Aspen, you’ll serve patients who deserve expert, compassionate care while experiencing a community that celebrates outdoor vitality, world-class culture, and a safety‑first mindset. Imagine making a real difference in a high-acuity setting while stepping out of the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Aspen Location Benefits: Aspen’s mountain town charm blends top-tier medical facilities with access to four-season recreation. Elevation lends a crisp clarity to your daily routine, with opportunities to hike pristine trails, ski or snowshoe in winter, and explore the scenic byways that frame the town. The surrounding beauty isn’t just scenery; it inspires balance, focus, and renewed energy after demanding shifts. Employers in this region recognize the value of a balanced life, offering seamless access to superb dining, arts, and community events. The experience isn’t limited to one site; you may have the opportunity to work across Colorado facilities or the broader U.S., expanding your clinical portfolio and refining your versatility. You’ll gain exposure to a diverse patient population—from post‑operative recovery and cardiac monitoring to telemetry‑driven care and rapid assessments—while supporting families who rely on your expertise. Beyond the bedside, Aspen’s network of resources and services creates an ecosystem where you can grow as a clinician and as a neighbor.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Registered Nurse in PCU, you’ll play a pivotal role in caring for patients transitioning from acute to less intensive services, managing complex IV therapies, continuous telemetry, pain control, and rapid response to evolving needs. Your responsibilities include performing thorough rounds, administering medications per physician orders, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, and ensuring meticulous handoffs at shift changes. The PCU environment is dynamic, demanding keen clinical judgment, precise documentation, and compassionate communication with patients and families. This assignment prioritizes professional growth: you’ll have access to mentorship from seasoned critical‑care colleagues, opportunities to refine hemodynamic assessment, post‑operative care, and advanced telemetry skills, plus enhanced care coordination competencies. There are avenues to expand into leadership roles, contribute to unit quality improvements, and help shape patient‑centered protocols. We offer competitive compensation with a weekly range of $2,567 to $2,777, reflecting experience and shift, plus robust housing assistance to secure comfortable accommodations and the potential for contract extensions that align with your long‑term goals. The program also emphasizes flexibility within a weeks‑based framework, and extensions are available for those who demonstrate dedication and teamwork. You’ll never travel alone: 24/7 support is available while you’re on assignment, providing reliable assistance, logistics support, and guidance whenever you need it. This level of support translates into more time focusing on patient care, skill refinement, and professional development.
Company Values: Our organization is dedicated to empowering healthcare professionals by investing in your career advancement and fostering a supportive, inclusive work environment. We believe in recognizing talent, offering clear paths for growth, and encouraging collaboration that respects your experience, goals, and well‑being. We celebrate curiosity, uphold safety standards, and promote ongoing education and specialization.

This is your chance to join a company that honors your contribution and accelerates your professional development, while delivering meaningful work with competitive compensation and supportive benefits.
