Travel Registered Nurse Med Surg Job

Embark on a rewarding journey as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg, with a compelling opportunity to serve patients in Michigan’s picturesque Petoskey and the broader United States through our dynamic contract network. This role invites you to blend clinical expertise with compassionate leadership, guiding adults and elders through medical-surgical care, post-operative recovery, and informed discharge planning. You’ll assess evolving conditions, monitor complex wounds, manage IV therapies, coordinate with physicians and specialists, and actively participate in patient education that empowers families to participate in healing. Picture yourself making a tangible difference every shift, supporting holistic well-being, and advancing your practice in a setting that honors your autonomy, your voice, and your commitment to excellence. Beyond the patient doors, you’ll discover a state renowned for its natural beauty—lush forests, sparkling lakes, and welcoming communities—while also enjoying the chance to broaden your professional horizons through assignments nationwide, all supported by a stable organization that prioritizes your growth.

Petoskey offers a distinctive backdrop for professional nursing—a charming northern Michigan town perched along the shores of Lake Michigan, where crisp lake breezes, sandy beaches, and scenic hillsides invite outdoor exploration after demanding shifts. You’ll find dining, arts, and community events that celebrate the region’s heritage, while nearby natural treasures such as the Little Traverse Bay, the Bingham and Boyne rivers, and the state’s beloved dunes provide easy escapes for downtime. For nurses drawn to variety, our program also includes opportunities across multiple locations in the U.S., delivering diverse clinical experiences—from community hospitals to larger medical centers—without sacrificing the stability and support you deserve. This blend of balanced lifestyle and professional variety makes Petoskey not only a place to heal patients but also a place to grow as a clinician and as a person.

On the Med Surg floor, you will own key responsibilities that deepen your clinical acumen and expand your leadership footprint. Core duties include comprehensive patient assessments, ongoing monitoring of vitals, administration of medications and IV therapies, wound and ostomy care, pain management, and rapid response to clinical changes. You will participate in interprofessional rounds, refine discharge planning, coordinate with case management, and engage in evidence-based practice to improve patient outcomes. The role offers clear pathways for professional development within the specialty, including mentorship, competencies in telemetry as needed, and exposure to post-operative and medical-surgical protocols that broaden your scope. You’ll have access to a network that supports your growth through structured extensions, cross-site collaboration, and continuous education, ensuring you can elevate your expertise while maintaining a compassionate, patient-centered approach.

We recognize the value of comprehensive support in travel-based roles. In addition to competitive compensation—weekly pay in the range of $1,855 to $1,914—you’ll receive a bonus opportunity, robust housing assistance, and the chance to extend contracts, enabling you to tailor your assignments to your personal and professional goals. Our program provides 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you have real-time access to clinical leadership, safety resources, and logistical guidance wherever your assignments take you. You’ll also benefit from a transparent, collaborative environment that prioritizes clear communication, timely feedback, and a culture of respect. While the details may evolve, these elements together create a stable foundation for you to deliver exceptional care without compromising work-life balance.

Our company values empowerment, ongoing career advancement, and a supportive work environment that recognizes your dedication. We invest in your professional journey through coaching, continuing education opportunities, leadership tracks, and pathways to expanded responsibilities, all designed to help you progress from bedside care to broader clinical influence. You’ll join a team that honors your clinical judgment, encourages inquiry, and celebrates your successes—because when you thrive, patients receive safer, more effective care. The environment is collaborative, inclusive, and mission-driven, focused on elevating nursing practice and supporting your well-being every step of the way.
