Imagine contributing your clinical expertise in a role that blends critical thinking with attentive, family‑centered care, all within a team that values autonomy, collaboration, and ongoing learning. Beyond the hospital walls, New York’s vibrant landscapes—from pristine Lake Champlain views to the Adirondack foothills—offer inspiring backdrops for your daily rounds and time off.

Plattsburgh sits on the western shore of Lake Champlain, offering a gateway to outdoor adventure, seasonal beauty, and a welcoming community that values healthcare heroes. The region blends small‑city warmth with meaningful clinical opportunities, giving you the chance to focus on patient outcomes while enjoying a high quality of life.

Role specifics and benefits
As a PCU RN, you’ll deliver skilled bedside care to patients with complex medical conditions who require closer monitoring than a standard floor but less than the ICU. Your responsibilities will center on comprehensive assessments, telemetry monitoring, IV therapy, wound care, medication administration, and timely escalation when patient status changes. You’ll partner with physicians, case managers, and ancillary teams to coordinate transitions of care, discharge planning, and patient education that demystifies therapy plans for families. The role invites continuous professional growth: you’ll have access to specialty certifications, on‑the‑job coaching, and opportunities to expand your scope in critical thinking, rapid assessment, and evidence‑based practice. A competitive benefits package accompanies this assignment, including a sign‑on or completion bonus, housing assistance or stipends, and the option to extend your assignment if you love a location or want to deepen your experience. You’ll work with a travel program that emphasizes professional development, safety, and work‑life balance, ensuring you have the resources you need to thrive.
