About The Position

Embark on a meaningful journey as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg in Mattoon, Illinois, where every shift presents an opportunity to impact patients’ lives and strengthen your clinical leadership. In this Med Surg role, you’ll deliver attentive, evidence-based care to adults with acute and post-operative needs, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, and guide families through recovery. This assignment begins on 01/26/2026 and runs for several weeks, placing you in a hospital setting that values precision, compassion, and continual learning. Beyond the bedside, Illinois reveals a tapestry of beauty—rolling farmland, tranquil lakes, and dynamic towns—sunlit trails and parks that invite refreshing downtime between demanding shifts, offering a balanced pace that energizes your practice and your life. Location benefits go beyond the role itself. Mattoon provides a welcoming Midwest community with a supportive local healthcare network, easy access to nearby Charleston and broader Illinois amenities, and a atmosphere that blends professional focus with genuine collegiality. You’ll experience the best of both worlds: a robust hospital environment paired with the charm of a smaller city that makes you feel at home. For those drawn to broader horizons, the travel assignment opens opportunities to work in other locations across the U.S., expanding clinical exposure, sharpening adaptability, and broadening your professional network. The surrounding region offers outdoor recreation, parks, and cultural events that create restorative downtime after a productive shift. Role specifics and benefits. In Med Surg, you will perform thorough patient assessments, monitor and interpret vital signs, administer medications and IV therapies, manage wound care and post-operative needs, and support early mobility and recovery plans. You’ll coordinate discharge planning with case management, educate patients and families about medications, self-care, and warning signs, and collaborate closely with physicians, therapists, and ancillary staff to ensure seamless, patient-centered care. Documentation in the electronic health record will be precise and timely, with strict adherence to safety, infection control, and quality improvement standards. This role offers strong professional growth within the Med Surg specialty, including exposure to a wide range of diagnoses and case complexities, potential mentorship from seasoned RNs, and access to continuing education opportunities and specialty certification support. Competitive benefits include a weekly pay range of $2,133-$2,289 with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, a sign-on or completion bonus program, housing assistance to reduce living costs during the assignment, and clear extension opportunities with the same facility or other sites across the network. You’ll also receive comprehensive 24/7 support from our travel and clinical leadership teams, ensuring you have guidance and resources on every shift, regardless of location or assignment length. A structured orientation, ongoing clinical resources, and access to team-based debriefs reinforce a culture where your professional development and well-being are prioritized. Company values.
