Picture stepping into a warm, sunlit med-surg floor where teamwork and compassion meet advanced clinical practice, all set against the vibrant currents of Hawaii’s culture, verdant scenery, and the Pacific breeze. The beauty of the islands is matched only by the depth of the work you’ll do: you’ll deliver comprehensive medical-surgical care, monitor complex conditions, coordinate with interdisciplinary teams, manage symptoms, implement care plans, and guide patients and families through discharge planning with empathy. When you need a moment of rest, you can explore Maui-like green landscapes, cascading waterfalls, volcanic vistas, and pristine coastlines—an environment that refreshes the mind and re-energizes the spirit for the demanding days ahead. This role begins on 03/02/2026 and is structured in weeks with the potential for extension, allowing you to tailor a meaningful career path that can unfold across diverse U.S. locations if you choose.

You’ll perform in a setting that values evidence-based practice and ongoing learning, with opportunities to refine skills in telemetry, IV therapy, and complex care coordination. Beyond Hawaii, the chance to work across the United States offers you a panorama of professional experiences—from fast-paced urban centers to tranquil rural facilities—each presenting unique clinical challenges that accelerate your growth. Across assignments, you’ll receive comprehensive housing assistance, competitive compensation, and a robust community of peers and mentors. You’ll engage with diverse patient populations, learn new electronic health record systems, and gain exposure to varied clinical priorities, all while enjoying the chance to explore different landscapes and cultures as part of your travel nursing journey. Role Specifics and Benefits: In Med Surg, you’ll provide compassionate, skilled nursing care to adults with a wide range of medical conditions.

The role supports professional growth through exposure to high-acuity medical-surgical cases, leadership opportunities, and access to continuing education resources. The package features a competitive weekly pay between $1,851 and $1,880, plus a bonus program designed to recognize performance and dedication.
