Step into a transformational role as a Registered Nurse specializing in Med Surg Tele in Rochester, New York, and bring compassionate expert care to patients navigating complex health journeys. This is more than a job—it's a mission to apply advanced clinical judgment, steady leadership, and warm, human connections to a dynamic hospital team. Imagine guiding patients through acute and recovery phases, coordinating care across disciplines, and leveraging telemetry insight to ensure safe, timely discharges. In this Med Surg Tele setting, your expertise will shape recovery pathways, elevate patient experience, and drive meaningful outcomes. And as you deliver care, you’ll have the chance to explore the beautiful places of New York—from the scenic shores of Lake Ontario to the vibrant culture of neighboring cities, Orchard trails, and regional parks.

Beyond Rochester, there’s the prospect of working in various locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical horizon as you experience a spectrum of patient populations, hospital cultures, and care models. This multi-location potential means you can broaden your professional network, strengthen your telemetry and med-surg competencies, and return with a broader toolkit to share with colleagues back home. In this role, you’ll own key responsibilities that reflect the core of med-surg tele nursing. You’ll conduct thorough initial and ongoing patient assessments, monitor telemetry, administer medications safely, manage IV therapy, and respond decisively to changes in patient status. You’ll engage in care planning, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, and facilitate smooth transitions to step-down units or discharge. Your clinical judgment will guide pain management, wound care, and nutrition support, while you mentor junior staff and serve as a resource for patient and family education. You’ll participate in evidence-based protocols, quality improvement initiatives, and initiatives that promote safety, infection control, and patient advocacy. Your growth path is supported through access to continuing education, specialty certifications, and leadership opportunities that recognize clinical excellence and the ability to guide others on complex care plans. We also highlight competitive benefits designed to support you throughout your assignment, including a sign-on or performance bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions to deepen your impact in a chosen setting.
