Travel Registered Nurse PCU Job

TLC Healthforce•San Luis Obispo, CA

About The Position

Embark on a transformational journey as a Travel Registered Nurse in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU), where your clinical expertise meets opportunities to influence patient outcomes across the Golden State and the broader United States. This assignment places you in San Luis Obispo, California, a gem on the Central Coast where clinical excellence meets coastal beauty. In your PCU role, you’ll oversee patients who need close surveillance and sophisticated interventions as they transition from acute stabilization toward independence. You’ll manage hemodynamic monitoring, telemetry interpretation, IV therapies, and multidimensional care plans in collaboration with physicians, pharmacists, case managers, and rehabilitation teams. The work is fast-paced and deeply rewarding, designed to sharpen your acuity in a dynamic environment while offering the autonomy, resources, and supportive culture you deserve as a traveling professional. If you’re drawn to complex care, value decisive clinical judgment, and seek a position that honors your professionalism, this assignment aligns with your goals. The start date is 02/16/2026, with assignments planned in weeks, delivering a defined horizon while keeping room for extended opportunities as you grow with the team. Location benefits: California’s San Luis Obispo area offers a rare blend of professional opportunity and exceptional quality of life. Enjoy a mild climate, easy access to pristine beaches, rugged coastal trails, and a thriving downtown with artisan cafés, farms, and cultural events. The Central Coast is renowned for its outdoor recreation—from scenic hikes and kayaking to wine country explorations and sunset coastlines—providing a rejuvenating backdrop after demanding shifts. Beyond San Luis Obispo, the program offers the possibility to travel to other locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical perspectives and network while preserving the continuity of care you deliver in specialized units. You’ll benefit from a supportive travel ecosystem that simplifies credentialing, housing logistics, and shift coordination, so you can focus on delivering top-tier PCU care. Whether you’re craving a coastal week, a scenic mountain escape, or a new city experience, this role blends professional challenge with the freedom to explore. Role specifics and benefits: In this PCU assignment, you’ll provide vigilant patient assessment, early detection of clinical changes, and timely escalation of care as patients progress from ICU-adjacent stabilization to higher‑care recovery. Responsibilities include ongoing telemetry review, medication titration under physician orders, IV therapy administration, wound care coordination, and active collaboration with the interdisciplinary team to optimize outcomes. You’ll participate in planning for discharge and transition to step-down or home care, ensuring patient and family education that supports safe recovery at home. The position offers competitive weekly pay of $1,858–$1,909, with the potential for a retention or completion bonus, plus housing assistance to ease relocation and temporary housing needs. There are extension opportunities to lengthen your assignment if you wish to deepen your integration with a hospital, a department, or a region, allowing you to establish a meaningful professional home away from home. A comprehensive support network will be available 24/7 while you travel with the company, including credentialing assistance, shift coordination, on‑call help, and rapid problem resolution to address any travel or clinical challenges that arise.
