About The Position

Take the next step in your nursing journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Med Surg in Rochester, New York. This contract role offers you the opportunity to deliver compassionate, patient-centered care on dynamic medical-surgical units where every shift is a chance to stabilize, educate, and advocate for patients at a pivotal moment in their recovery. You’ll collaborate with seasoned RNs, physicians, and support teams to implement care plans, monitor progress, and celebrate steady improvements. The assignment starts February 23, 2026, and runs for multiple weeks, providing the flexibility to shape your schedule while staying close to the people and places you love. And because New York state is renowned for more than its bustling cities, you’ll also be able to explore the state’s beauty—Finger Lakes wine trails, scenic lakeshores, the Adirondack vistas, vibrant urban culture, and historic towns that make a visit as rewarding as the work you do. Rochester offers a compelling backdrop for your Med Surg nursing career. The city hosts a robust medical community, mentoring opportunities, and access to facilities known for patient safety and evidence-based practice. Working here means you’ll be part of teams that prioritize compassionate care, where you can deepen clinical competencies on a fast-paced unit and collaborate with specialists across disciplines. Beyond the hospital walls, Rochester's neighborhoods provide a welcoming, affordable lifestyle with access to parks, museums, dining, and a thriving arts scene. For travelers seeking variety, our program also presents the chance to work in multiple locations across the United States, enabling you to experience diverse patient populations, hospital cultures, and clinical challenges. You’ll enjoy a stable weekly pay range of $1,235 to $1,298, plus housing assistance and the opportunity to extend contracts to broaden your experience. Whether you stay local to Rochester for extended blocks or take on shorter, broader assignments, you’ll sharpen your Med Surg skills while building a nationwide professional network. On the Med Surg floor, you’ll take on meaningful responsibilities that drive patient outcomes. Core duties include patient assessment, monitoring of vitals, medication administration, IV therapies, wound care, and timely documentation in electronic health records. You’ll contribute to discharge planning, patient and family education, and safe transitions between care settings. Your role is collaborative by design—working closely with registered nurses, physicians, ancillary staff, and case management to align care with patient goals. The position presents clear pathways for growth: broaden your scope with increased responsibilities, leadership opportunities within the unit, and access to ongoing education. The company supports your professional development with sponsor-backed CEU courses and skill-building sessions to keep you at the forefront of modern med-surg practice. We also provide a comprehensive traveler-focused package, featuring a welcome bonus, housing assistance, and the flexibility of contract extensions to fit your evolving goals. To support your success in unfamiliar environments, you’ll receive 24/7 travel support, a dedicated program team, and on-call clinical guidance available around the clock. Our partner company is committed to empowering its nursing professionals through a supportive culture that prioritizes career advancement and well-being. You’ll join a network that values transparent communication, mentorship, and a healthy balance between work and life. From the onboarding process through ongoing feedback and recognition, you’ll find a clear path to grow within Med Surg and beyond, with opportunities to explore other specialties or facilities as your interests evolve. The environment emphasizes respect, teamwork, and continuous improvement, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and equipped to deliver exceptional patient care every day. If you’re a licensed practical nurse with Med Surg experience, a patient-first mindset, and the adaptability to thrive in varied clinical settings, this opportunity is for you.
