This role is ideal for nurses who thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑acuity environment and are passionate about delivering exceptional patient care.

• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to develop and implement individualized care plans
• Educate patients and families on treatment plans, medications, and post‑discharge care
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation in the electronic medical record (EMR) system
• Ensure adherence to infection control, safety, and regulatory standards

Qualifications

• Active Registered Nurse (RN) license (compact license preferred or ability to obtain Arizona licensure)
• Minimum of 1–2 years of recent PCU, step‑down, or telemetry experience
• Current Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) certifications
• Strong clinical assessment and critical thinking skills
• Ability to adapt quickly to new environments and protocols
• Day shift with potential weekend and holiday rotation
• Contract length typically 13 weeks (with possible extension)
• Competitive travel pay package including housing stipend and meal allowances
• Opportunity to work in a leading healthcare facility in a vibrant metropolitan area

Additional Requirements

• Must reside outside the state of Arizona and maintain a permanent residence elsewhere during the assignment
• Compliance with all onboarding requirements, including background check, drug screening, and immunizations

Why Choose This Assignment?

This opportunity offers the chance to expand your clinical experience, explore a dynamic city, and work alongside a dedicated healthcare team while enjoying the flexibility and benefits of travel nursing.
