Utica, NY
Contracted
MVHS Wynn Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a meaningful opportunity as a Registered Nurse in the PCU at a leading healthcare network in Utica, New York. This role invites you to fuse clinical precision with compassionate care, guiding patients through transitional recovery and equipping families with clear, evidence-based education. As a PCU nurse, you’ll be at the forefront of patient safety and comfort, delivering high-quality monitoring, timely interventions, and collaborative care that makes a real difference in people’s lives. If you’ve honed the skills to manage complex post-acute and post-surgical patients, this position will elevate your practice and expand your impact across a dedicated, mission-driven team. Envision the satisfaction that comes from empowering patients to regain strength, from supporting families during often stressful moments, and from contributing to outcomes that truly matter.
The beauty of New York State surrounds your daily work, and Utica itself offers a rich blend of culture, history, and opportunities for outdoor exploration. Utica sits in the Mohawk Valley, a region known for its charming neighborhoods and thriving cultural scene, while being within reach of the Adirondack Mountains for weekend adventures and the scenic beauty of the Finger Lakes. You’ll enjoy a community-oriented environment, with access to excellent dining, arts, and recreational activities that complement a dedicated nursing career. And for those who relish a broader horizon, the opportunity to work in various locations across the United States opens the door to diverse clinical settings, patient populations, and professional connections. This combination means you can cultivate specialized PCU expertise while experiencing the unique character of different communities—from urban centers to quieter suburban and rural locations—each offering new professional challenges and fresh perspectives on patient care.
Location Benefits: Working in Utica gives you a stable, supportive setting with robust hospital teams, modern facilities, and a commitment to professional development. You’ll benefit from structured orientation, state-of-the-art equipment, and access to continuing education resources designed to keep you at the forefront of progressive care nursing. The opportunity to travel to various locations across the U.S. adds another layer of professional enrichment: you’ll encounter a spectrum of patient needs, hospital workflows, and multidisciplinary collaboration that deepen your clinical judgment and broaden your skill set. Whether you’re coordinating complex post-operative care, managing telemetry, or leading discharge planning, you’ll gain exposure to a wide range of cases in an environment that values your expertise. The combination of Utica’s regional advantages and the potential for diverse assignments across the country means you can build a robust portfolio of PCU experience while enjoying meaningful work-life balance and the chance to explore new places along the way.

Deliver effective patient and family education for post-discharge care, safety planning, and ongoing health maintenance. Facilitate smooth patient transitions through accurate handoffs, meticulous documentation, and proactive coordination with case management and social services to optimize recovery and reduce readmissions.
- Professional growth: This role emphasizes ongoing learning and skill advancement within the PCU specialty. You’ll have access to advancement opportunities, specialty training, and financial support for certifications (for example, CCRN or related critical care credentials), as well as mentorship from experienced PCU leaders.

- Competitive benefits and incentives: In addition to a competitive compensation package, you’ll benefit from a program that includes a bonus component, housing assistance where needed, and opportunities for contract extensions to align with your career goals and personal plans. The arrangement provides flexibility and continuity, with the option to extend assignments to deepen your PCU expertise and strengthen your professional portfolio.
- Comprehensive support: You’ll have 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring that you, your schedule, and your assignments run smoothly.
