About The Position

Step into a rewarding travel nursing path as a Registered Nurse in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) in Utica, New York, and elevate your clinical impact where every patient transition matters. This PCU opportunity is designed for skilled, compassionate nurses who thrive in a dynamic, high-acuity setting and are passionate about guiding patients through complex monitoring, intricate therapies, and careful risk assessment. Imagine the difference you can make when vigilance meets empathy: recognizing early signs, delivering precise interventions, and collaborating with a dedicated team to stabilize patients and support families during challenging moments. In the heart of upstate New York, you’ll not only grow your expertise in a fast-paced environment but also experience a region rich with culture, history, and community spirit. Separately, you’ll have the chance to discover the state’s natural beauty and vibrant urban life—from the picturesque river towns along the Mohawk Valley to seasonal outdoor adventures just beyond your doorstep. Location Benefits: Utica offers a welcoming, neighborly atmosphere with a solid healthcare network, excellent access to regional resources, and a favorable cost of living that supports your well-being while you advance your career. You’ll practice in a setting that combines modern patient care with the warmth of a close-knit community, where mentors and colleagues invest in your professional growth. This assignment provides the flexibility to work across diverse locations in the United States, broadening your experiences and enabling you to build a robust resume that spans multiple hospital cultures, patient populations, and care models. In Utica, you’ll enjoy short commutes, diverse dining and cultural opportunities, and proximity to outdoor escapes—from the nearby Adirondack foothills to charming riverfront parks—perfect for recharging after a demanding shift. The region’s healthcare ecosystem supports specialized PCU expertise, telemetry, and transitional care, giving you a platform to refine critical thinking, leadership, and evidence-based practice while delivering compassionate, patient-centered care. Role Specifics and Benefits: As a PCU RN on this placement, your responsibilities will center on patient assessment, continuous monitoring, and rapid escalation when care needs shift. You’ll manage post-ICU transitions, telemetry interpretation, medication administration within scope, hemodynamic monitoring, and nuanced plans for discharge, education, and family communication. You’ll collaborate closely with physicians, charge nurses, case managers, and rehab teams to design individualized care plans that balance safety with progress toward goals. Professional growth is built in: exposure to a wide range of cardiac, respiratory, and complex comorbidity cases, opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, and mentorship that supports your clinical leadership trajectory. You’ll benefit from competitive compensation, including a weekly pay range of $2,105–$2,279, and guaranteed hours of 36 per week, with a start date of 03/23/2026 and a duration described as Weeks. We also offer a sign-on type bonus where applicable, robust housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, and the potential for contract extensions that align with both patient demand and your career goals. Our travel program provides comprehensive support around the clock, with 24/7 assistance from a dedicated team to help you solve housing, credentialing, transportation, and settlement questions while you travel. The role emphasizes continuous learning, cross-collaboration, and a culture that encourages you to take on stretch assignments, assume leadership responsibilities, and contribute to unit performance improvement initiatives. Company Values: Our organization is deeply committed to empowering nursing professionals, fostering a culture of respect, safety, and opportunity. We prioritize ongoing education, skill development, and transparent pathways for career advancement within PCU and related specialties. You’ll join a supportive work environment that values your voice, recognizes your contributions, and encourages collaborative problem solving. Our teams celebrate diverse backgrounds and experiences, knowing that a strong, inclusive culture drives better patient outcomes and a more fulfilling career experience for every nurse.
