Embark on a pivotal PCU travel nursing opportunity in Watertown, New York, where your clinical expertise in progressive care will shape patient outcomes, guide families through complex transitions, and elevate standards of care across the unit. This is a chance to apply acute observation, rapid assessment, and precise intervention in a setting that prizes both professional autonomy and collaborative teamwork. You’ll be at the forefront of patient-centered recovery, helping individuals stabilize, regain function, and prepare for the next steps in their health journeys. Start date is 03/09/2026 for a weeks-long assignment with guaranteed hours, and you’ll be supported every step of the way as you deliver compassionate, high-quality care. And beyond the hospital walls, New York state offers a tapestry of experiences—from serene river towns to vibrant city doors—inviting you to weave in memorable moments during and after shifts. New York’s beauty is not just found in its cities. In this vacancy, you’ll work in a region famed for its natural splendor and accessible escapes. Separate from the clinical responsibilities, you’ll have moments to explore Adirondack vistas, the sparkling waters of the Thousand Islands along the St. Lawrence, and the rolling landscapes that define upstate life. Whether you’re drawn to crisp autumn air on a forested trail or a summer breeze by the river, you’ll discover a state that invites exploration during downtime and weekends.

Location Benefits: Watertown blends small-town warmth with robust healthcare access and a welcoming community vibe. You’ll enjoy a manageable commute, safe neighborhoods, and abundant outdoor recreation—kayaking along the watershed, hiking nearby bluffs, or strolling along riverfront paths after your shifts.

Expect structured onboarding, clear orientation, and continuous access to resources that help you thrive in a dynamic travel setting.

You’ll implement evidence-based protocols for the stabilization and transition of patients with stable, escalating, or recovering conditions, while maintaining meticulous documentation and communication. - You’ll champion patient education, prepare families for discharge, and advocate for safe transitions to home or rehabilitation settings, ensuring continuity of care across shifts and services. - Professional growth is a central pillar: opportunities to deepen expertise in PCU dynamics, pursue specialty certifications, participate in in-service training, and explore pathways toward leadership roles or transfer to higher acuity units as you desire. - Competitive benefits include a sign-on bonus, comprehensive housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions if you enjoy the assignment and exceed expectations. - Our program emphasizes strong support: 24/7 assistance while you travel with our company, dedicated clinical support teams, an on-demand supervisor roster, and proactive resources to address scheduling, credentialing, and case reviews. - The assignment is scheduled as a weeks-long engagement starting 03/09/2026 with guaranteed hours, aligning with your stated weekly pay and providing a stable framework for planning your travel schedule and personal commitments.
