Travel Registered Nurse Med Surg Job

Embark on a rewarding journey as a Travel Registered Nurse in Med Surg in Mattoon, Illinois. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to positively impact patients during critical recovery periods while growing your clinical expertise in a supportive, fast-paced environment. In the Med-Surg unit, you’ll deliver comprehensive care to adults with diverse medical conditions, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, applying evidence-based practices, and guiding families through what often is a pivotal period of healing. Bring your compassion, clinical finesse, and resilience to a hospital that values your voice and your professional trajectory. Illinois offers a blend of quiet Midwestern charm and accessible culture—from tranquil afternoons by Lake Mattoon to inviting parks and family-friendly communities—providing a balanced backdrop for your professional and personal life.

Location Benefits: Mattoon sits in central Illinois, offering a community hospital experience with the teamwork and camaraderie that make each shift meaningful. You’ll work in a setting that prioritizes patient-centered care, with modern resources, clear protocols, and opportunities to refine skills across post-operative, medical, and complex care transitions. The Midwest pace encourages steady, meaningful patient contact and predictable caseloads, all within a supportive, close-knit community. For clinicians seeking broader horizons, this role can be part of a nationwide pathway—assignments across the U.S. open doors to diverse patient populations, varied practice patterns, and a robust professional network, while you enjoy the stability of a respected travel program.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Travel Registered Nurse in Med Surg, you’ll assess and monitor patients, manage IV therapies and wound care, perform essential procedures, and collaborate with physicians, pharmacists, and case managers to implement individualized care plans. Your responsibilities include precise documentation, patient and family education, discharge planning, and ensuring a smooth transition from hospital to home or higher levels of care. The role offers clear growth paths: mentorship from seasoned clinicians, access to continuing education credits, and opportunities to expand into leadership or cross-specialty roles as you demonstrate initiative. We recognize that outstanding care requires strong support, so this program includes a competitive compensation package with a weekly pay range of $2,057-$2,212, a guaranteed 36 hours per week, and a multi-week assignment starting on 03/16/2026. Housing assistance helps ease logistics, and extensions are available to prolong your experience with the same supportive team. You’ll also receive a bonus and a robust 24/7 support network from a dedicated travel team, ensuring you’re never alone on the road. The overall package is designed to balance clinical intensity with practical, real-world support, so you can focus on patient care and your ongoing development.
