As a Registered Nurse specializing in the ICU, you bring the calm precision, rapid decision-making, and compassionate leadership that critical care demands. This travel assignment in Michigan’s Pontiac region is more than a job—it's a chance to shape outcomes for the most vulnerable patients, mentor peers, and grow as a clinician who can adapt to a spectrum of high-acuity environments. From ventilator management to complex hemodynamics and multi-organ support, you’ll apply advanced skills, lead by example, and partner with families during some of their most challenging moments. Your expertise will elevate patient care across busy units, trauma recoveries, and post-surgical ICUs, while you build a versatile portfolio that showcases resilience, technical mastery, and the human touch that defines excellent critical care nursing. And beyond the bedside, you’ll be inspired by the state you serve—the beauty of Michigan sits not only in its landscapes but in the everyday moments of connection, discovery, and purpose you’ll encounter along the way.
Michigan’s allure goes far beyond the clinical frontlines. Pontiac places you within a vibrant community with accessible amenities, parks, dining, and a cultural scene that invites you to unwind after demanding shifts. You’ll also have the flexibility to work in diverse locations across the U.S., experiencing a mosaic of hospital cultures, patient populations, and care models. This breadth of exposure strengthens your clinical judgment, expands your professional network, and offers the chance to compare practices, implement best evidence, and bring back insights to future teams. The opportunity to rotate through different ICU subspecialties means you’ll never stop learning, refining your assessments, and leading quality improvements that matter to patients, families, and staff alike.
In this role, your core responsibilities will center on delivering comprehensive, evidence-based critical care. You’ll perform thorough patient assessments, monitor and titrate vasoactive medications, manage ventilator support, and respond rapidly to clinical changes with decisive interventions. You’ll lead and participate in rounds, develop and adjust care plans, and ensure precise documentation and interdisciplinary communication. Your leadership will guide families through complex decisions with clarity and empathy, while you collaborate with physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and case managers to optimize outcomes. You’ll implement infection control standards, participate in code situations with poise, and contribute to patient safety initiatives and performance improvement projects. The position fosters professional growth through hands-on mentoring, ongoing certification support, and opportunities to lead onboarding for new nurses or precept learners. Expect dynamic call schedules, evolving protocols, and a culture that rewards clinical excellence and proactive problem solving.
This assignment offers competitive compensation and a package designed to support you throughout your travel journey. Weekly pay ranges from $1,871 to $1,928, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, and a start date of 03/02/2026. In addition to solid compensation, you’ll have access to a welcome or completion bonus, reflecting the value you bring to the team. Housing assistance helps ease your transition, whether you prefer temporary housing near your assignment site or a longer-term option as you explore new communities. The role also provides extension opportunities, so you can continue your rewarding ICU travel experience with the same respected organization if you choose, or seamlessly transition to new sites as your goals evolve. A dedicated clinical liaison and 24/7 support team are available as you travel, ensuring you have immediate access to guidance, resources, and trouble-shooting whenever you need it. This is a comprehensive support system designed to let you focus on clinical excellence while enjoying the benefits of professional backing, safety nets, and responsive service.
Our company culture centers on empowering you to advance your career in a supportive, collaborative environment. You’ll be part of an organization that prioritizes professional development, recognises expertise, and fosters career progression through continuing education, leadership opportunities, and a pathway to broader critical care roles. You’ll find a workplace that not only challenges you to grow clinically but also values your well-being, workload fairness, and the satisfaction of helping patients and families navigate difficult journeys. The commitment to staff empowerment means your insights will influence practice improvements and patient experience initiatives, making your work matter far beyond a single assignment.

This is your invitation to join a company that values your contribution and invests in your development. Begin a journey that blends dynamic clinical practice with the chance to explore Michigan’s beauty and other American locales, while you advance as a critical care nurse who leads with skill, compassion, and resilience.
