About The Position

Embark on a transformative travel nursing opportunity as a Registered Nurse in the PCU, bringing high-touch care to patients on the Progressive Care unit in New York’s North Country. Beginning 01/29/2026 for an dynamic stretch of weeks, you’ll apply advanced clinical skills to monitor, stabilize, and guide patients through transitional care—from acute presentations to recovery milestones. This role is ideal for a compassionate professional who thrives in fast-paced environments, values critical thinking, and is eager to influence positive outcomes across diverse patient populations. Picture yourself delivering expert nursing care in a setting that fuses clinical excellence with the beauty and calm of nature, while contributing to a team that celebrates patient-centered progress and professional growth. New York’s Plattsburgh area shines with remarkable natural beauty and a welcoming, small-town ethos. From the pristine shores of Lake Champlain to the scenic paths of the Adirondack foothills, this region offers year-round outdoor opportunities, vibrant local culture, and easy access to nearby urban hubs for occasional off-site explorations. Beyond the state’s rich scenery, the assignment opens the door to working in various locations across the U.S. when opportunities arise, enriching your professional perspective and expanding your network. You’ll balance meaningful, community-focused care with the adventure and flexibility that traveling nurses crave, all while enjoying the distinctive charm of Plattsburgh and the broader North Country. In this PCU RN role, you’ll deliver comprehensive care to patients who require continuous monitoring, rapid assessment, and skilled clinical interventions. Core responsibilities include telemetry monitoring, accurate medication administration, IV therapy, wound care, and complex symptom management, with a focus on preventing deterioration and ensuring safe transfers to higher-acuity units when needed. You’ll develop care plans in collaboration with physicians, case managers, and families, emphasizing patient education, mobility support, and discharge planning to optimize recovery trajectories. With a commitment to evidence-based practice, you’ll participate in rounds, contribute to clinical protocols, and pursue ongoing growth within the PCU specialty—whether refining hemodynamic monitoring, telemetry interpretation, or post-acute stabilization techniques. The position also offers you opportunities to pursue specialty certifications and expanded procedural competencies as you demonstrate leadership in patient care. This assignment features competitive compensation and robust support. Weekly pay ranges from $2,164 to $2,203, reflecting the value of your expertise and the flexibility of travel nursing. In addition, you’ll have access to housing assistance to ease logistics and budgeting, helping you settle quickly into a comfortable, productive routine. There are extension opportunities that empower you to build continuity with colleagues and patients, reinforcing professional relationships and advancing your career in a familiar, supportive environment. A dedicated team provides 24/7 support while you travel with the company, ensuring you have responsive guidance, resource access, and on-call assistance whenever you need it. The company behind this opportunity is committed to empowering its nursing staff through clear pathways for career advancement, strong mentorship, and a collaborative, respectful work culture. You’ll join a network that values your expertise, recognizes your autonomy, and prioritizes your well-being and professional development. Expect comprehensive onboarding, ongoing education, and a culture that rewards initiative, teamwork, and compassionate patient advocacy. In this environment, your ideas, skills, and dedication are acknowledged and amplified, helping you grow from clinician to leader within the PCU realm. If you’re ready to elevate your nursing practice, to experience the unique blend of scenic North Country life and nationwide travel possibilities, and to contribute meaningfully to patients at a critical stage of recovery, seize this opportunity. Apply today and join a team that appreciates your contributions, supports your ambitions, and helps you shape a rewarding career in progressive care nursing.
