About The Position

Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse specializing in CVICU in Lodi, California, where every patient moment matters and your expertise can change a life in the span of a single shift. This CVICU opportunity is designed for skilled professionals who thrive in high-stakes environments, who bring precision, compassion, and leadership to the bedside, and who are ready to elevate their practice in a dynamic cardiac care setting. Starting on 12/08/2025, you’ll join a dedicated team for several weeks, delivering advanced postoperative and critical care to patients facing complex cardiac procedures. Your impact will extend beyond technology and protocols to mentorship, teamwork, and a steadfast commitment to patient and family-centered care. While you focus on extraordinary clinical outcomes, California awaits with its celebrated beauty—coastal redwoods, golden hills, sparkling beaches, and vibrant cities—reminding you that healing and inspiration can coexist within the same journey. Location benefits are as compelling as the role itself. Lodi sits in the heart of California’s wine country, offering a relaxed pace, exceptional dining, and access to serene weekend getaways after demanding shifts. In addition, this assignment provides the opportunity to work across distinctive locations within the U.S. through our travel network, opening doors to new patient populations, hospital cultures, and professional connections. You’ll experience a diverse range of cardiothoracic patients and procedural volumes that sharpen assessment skills, refine hemodynamic management, and enhance interdisciplinary collaboration. California’s landscapes—from the Sierra foothills to scenic valleys—offer quick escapes for outdoor adventures, while the option to explore other regions keeps your clinical perspective fresh and your professional journey expansive. This is more than a travel assignment; it’s a gateway to growth, discovery, and lasting memories that enrich both your career and your life. Role specifics and benefits are crafted to support your success and reward your expertise. In this CVICU RN role, you’ll deliver high-level patient care for critically ill cardiac patients, including planning and implementing care for post-operative valve repairs, bypass patients, and complex heart failure cases. You’ll manage ventilated patients, titrate vasopressors, monitor invasive devices, interpret hemodynamic data, and collaborate closely with surgeons, intensivists, and the broader care team to optimize outcomes. You’ll lead care coordination, guide new staff and nursing students, and contribute to postoperative recovery plans, teaching families along the way. This position offers notable advantages: a competitive weekly pay range of $2,243–$2,389, with the potential for a bonus and extensive housing assistance to ease relocation logistics. There are extension opportunities for continued growth with the same facility or within our network, allowing you to deepen specialty competencies and expand leadership roles. A robust support system includes 24/7 assistance from our dedicated team while you travel, ensuring you have real-time help for clinical questions, credentialing, or logistical needs. While the job specialization focuses on CVICU excellence, your flexibility to adapt to unit needs and evolving patient profiles will be valued and rewarded through professional development pathways and recognition of skill mastery. To support your experience, the company remains committed to empowering its staff through continuous education, access to certifications, and structured career progression. You’ll find a collaborative, respectful work environment that prioritizes safety, quality outcomes, and well-being. The role aligns with a culture that encourages ongoing learning—whether pursuing advanced cardiovascular nursing certifications, leadership tracks, or cross-specialty exposure—and that recognizes the courage and dedication required to work in cardiac critical care. The 24/7 support framework ensures you’re never alone on complex shifts, with round-the-clock resources, guidance, and backup for both clinical decision-making and life as a traveling professional. Our values center on empowering you to grow, innovate, and excel while maintaining a work-life balance that sustains long-term career fulfillment. You’ll be part of a team that respects clinical judgment, values compassionate patient care, and fosters a supportive environment where your contributions are acknowledged and celebrated. The opportunity emphasizes not only clinical mastery but also personal development—leadership, communication, evidence-based practice, and cultural competence—that prepare you for future roles within hospital systems or academic settings. This is your chance to join a company that places your professional trajectory at the heart of its mission, where your expertise directly influences patient outcomes and where your professional voice is heard.
