Step into a pivotal Licensed Practical Nurse role in Med Surg, where your hands-on care and clinical judgment will directly influence patient recovery across dynamic shifts in Rochester, New York, and beyond. This travel opportunity is designed for LPNs who excel in fast-paced med-surg environments, bring compassionate communication to every patient encounter, and thrive when collaborating with a diverse team of nurses, physicians, and support staff. In this assignment, you’ll be at the intersection of skilled nursing and patient education, guiding individuals through stabilization, routine care, and early milestones of healing. You’ll contribute to care plans, monitor vital signs, administer medications as delegated by registered nurses or physicians, perform wound assessments and basic treatments, assist with activities of daily living, and document progress with precision. Your efforts will support not only patient outcomes but also family understanding and comfort during challenging days. This role invites you to grow by expanding your med-surg competencies, refining assessment skills, and building leadership capabilities that accelerate your career trajectory. As you consider the impact you can make, imagine the professional satisfaction of turning complex nights into steady, compassionate care stories—one patient at a time.

Separately, you’ll get a taste of New York’s diverse beauty and opportunities. Separating the clinical experience from your travels, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in a state famed for its scenic landscapes and cultural richness. In Rochester and the surrounding region, you can enjoy sunset days along the Genesee River, strolls through vibrant neighborhoods, and access to the renowned cultural institutions the city offers. The Finger Lakes region presents scenic drives, winery tours, and outdoor adventures, while nearby state parks and lakes invite hiking, boating, and lakeside relaxation after shifts. For those who crave more exploration, New York’s broader geography offers urban experiences in upstate hubs and tranquil rural communities, each with their own unique charm, cuisine, and history to savor during downtime.

Location benefits go beyond the setting. Working in Rochester provides exposure to a robust healthcare market with collaborative hospital systems, community clinics, and specialty care networks that support professional growth in med-surg and related areas. You’ll have the opportunity to rotate through varied med-surg units, encounter diverse patient populations, and sharpen your clinical reasoning with seasoned teams. There’s also the appeal of a reasonable cost of living relative to other major metros, several family-friendly neighborhoods, and a thriving arts and dining scene that can enrich your overall experience. Additionally, you’ll have the option to explore opportunities in other U.S. locations through our broad network, allowing you to broaden your clinical exposure, meet new colleagues, and build a diverse resume of med-surg practice across regions.

Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your success and ongoing professional growth. In this position, your responsibilities will include delivering essential nursing care to adult med-surg patients, performing accurate head-to-toe assessments, monitoring and responding to changes in condition, administering medications as permitted, maintaining precise documentation, assisting with procedures under supervision, and collaborating with RNs and care teams to implement care plans. You’ll prioritize patient safety, infection control, and comfort, while also providing education to patients and families about medications, recovery expectations, and post-discharge care. The role offers a clear path for growth within the med-surg specialty, including mentorship from experienced nurses, access to specialty certifications, and potential leadership opportunities as you demonstrate reliability, clinical acumen, and compassionate communication.

Competitive benefits are a cornerstone of this assignment. You’ll earn a weekly pay range of $915-$968, reflecting the value of your skills and the complexity of med-surg care. In addition to competitive compensation, we offer housing assistance to ease relocation and travel logistics, helping you settle comfortably and focus on patient care. There are extension opportunities that allow you to continue in roles you’ve grown to excel in, with the potential to broaden your scope across adjacent specialties or different units, depending on your interests and performance.

We’re committed to a stable yet flexible arrangement that respects your schedule while enabling meaningful patient interaction and professional advancement.
