When combined with our nationwide network, you can anticipate stable housing support, seamless onboarding, and a consistent scheduling experience designed to minimize downtime between assignments.

Role specifics and benefits: In Med Surg, you’ll perform comprehensive patient assessments, develop and implement care plans, monitor vital signs, administer medications safely, manage IV therapy and wound care, and coordinate discharge planning to ensure smooth transitions from hospital to home.

You’ll have the opportunity to expand your expertise across a spectrum of conditions, including cardiopulmonary, infectious disease, and general medical-surgical pathways, with a clear path toward advanced practices and potential certifications. The position offers competitive benefits, including a completion bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities that let you stay longer in locations you love or rotate to fresh settings to diversify your experience.
