Seize an essential nursing opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Med Surg, Rochester, New York, and become a pivotal link in compassionate patient care. This assignment offers you the chance to apply clinical judgment, refine bedside skills, and influence recovery trajectories in a fast paced hospital setting. You’ll join a team that values steadiness, skill, and empathy, advancing through hands-on practice, mentoring, and exposure to a spectrum of surgical and medical conditions. Start February 2, 2026, with an assignment measured in weeks, designed for flexibility as you build your experience and expand your professional horizon. Beyond the hospital walls, imagine the beauty of upstate New York: the sparkling waters of Lake Ontario, the winding beauty of the Genesee River, the rolling landscapes that echo with history and culture. Rochester offers a thriving arts scene, diverse dining, easy access to the Finger Lakes, and outdoor adventures that recharge you after a patient care shift. Each weekend can become a mini escape to parks, waterfalls, or a stroll along the Erie Canal, while you remain anchored to a rewarding clinical mission.
Location Benefits: The Rochester area blends urban energy with approachable neighborhoods, excellent schools, and a cost of living that supports focus on your professional growth. For travelers seeking broader horizons, this role also opens pathways to other U.S. locations through our network, letting you rotate through facilities that emphasize med-surg competencies, geriatric care, post-operative recovery, and acute medical management. You’ll gain exposure to diverse patient populations and hospital cultures, building a versatile resume that enhances referrals, leadership potential, and future opportunities. The chance to experience different communities, climates, and hospital teams can sharpen your clinical intuition and broaden your professional network, all while delivering high-quality care to patients and families in need.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In Med Surg, you’ll perform essential nursing duties under the supervision of registered nurses and nurse managers, while collaborating with physicians, case managers, and support staff to optimize patient outcomes. Your daily tasks will include accurate vital sign monitoring, pain assessment, wound care, administration of medications, IV therapy, documentation, and patient education for discharge planning. You’ll contribute to care plans, monitor for complications, and support families with clear communication and compassionate presence. The role offers strong professional growth in a specialty that sits at the crossroads of inpatient medicine and surgical recovery, with opportunities to gain expertise in chronic disease management, post-op pathways, and rapid assessment protocols. Our program includes competitive compensation of weekly pay in the range of $1,231 to $1,241, with a welcome bonus and housing assistance to ease transition. We also offer extension opportunities, allowing you to extend the assignment if you and the facility align well, increasing continuity of care for patients and stability in your schedule. Comprehensive support is a hallmark: 24/7 assistance is available as you travel with our company, along with dedicated staffing coordinators who respond promptly to shift changes, credentialing needs, or urgent on-site requests. You’ll receive robust onboarding, targeted orientation to the facility’s med-surg pathways, and ongoing access to clinical experts who can answer questions, review complex cases, and help you refine critical thinking in high-stakes situations. The environment fosters teamwork, systematic problem-solving, and a shared commitment to patient dignity and safety, ensuring you feel capable and connected every shift.
