About The Position

Step into a pivotal Med Surg RN role that blends clinical excellence with the chance to immerse yourself in Alaska’s rugged beauty and the warmth of the Bethel community. As a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in medical-surgical care, you’ll join a dedicated team starting February 3, 2026, for a contract framed in several weeks that offers substantial clinical variety, patient impact, and opportunities for professional growth across the U.S. In Bethel, you’ll provide skilled, compassionate care in a hospital setting that values both independence and teamwork, while you build resilience and a wide-ranging clinical skill set that will serve you for years to come. Beyond the unit, Alaska’s breathtaking landscapes—glacial vistas, rivers that wind through pristine terrain, and the northern lights weaving across winter skies—offer a backdrop for a memorable professional chapter and personal discovery. This assignment is a doorway to experiences you’ll carry with you wherever your career takes you. Bethel’s remote yet welcoming environment delivers a distinctive practice setting with strong community ties, opportunities to learn from seasoned clinicians, and the chance to connect with patients and families in meaningful ways. While Bethel anchors this experience, the program also presents the possibility to work in various locations across the United States, enabling you to rotate through different facilities, patient populations, and care models. This mobility fuels growth, broadens your clinical repertoire, and expands your professional network, all while maintaining the support system you rely on as a traveling clinician. In this Med Surg RN role, you’ll assess and monitor a diverse patient census, administer medications, manage IV therapies, and lead discharge planning while coordinating care plans with physicians, case managers, and ancillary teams. You’ll respond to evolving clinical situations with critical thinking and a calm, patient-centered approach, document accurately in electronic health records, and contribute to unit safety initiatives and quality improvement projects. The position offers ongoing opportunities for professional development—from refining wound care and perioperative recovery skills to advancing competencies in telemetry, infusion therapy, and complex patient education. There’s a clear pathway for growth into leadership opportunities such as charge nurse or preceptorship roles, supported by structured onboarding, mentorship, and access to continuing education. Competitive benefits are a centerpiece of this opportunity. Earn a weekly pay range of $2,086 to $2,218, with guaranteed hours of 32 per week, and a contract designed to deliver consistency and financial clarity. In addition, you’ll have access to housing assistance to simplify logistics for a seamless transition, and the potential for contract extension opportunities if you wish to extend your stay or explore new assignments. We also provide a signing bonus where applicable, plus comprehensive travel and relocation support to ease the move to Bethel or any other host location. The program emphasizes robust, 24/7 support from our travel team—available around the clock to troubleshoot scheduling, housing, credentialing, or clinical concerns—so you can focus on delivering outstanding patient care. Our company’s values center on empowering staff to own their career trajectory. We’re committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive work environment where your expertise is valued, your voice is heard, and your professional development is a shared priority. You’ll find mentors, peers, and leadership who invest in your success, encourage continuous learning, and recognize the impact you make on patients, families, and the broader healthcare team. The culture is built on collaboration, accountability, and a proactive approach to safety, quality, and compassionate care.
