Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Nurse specializing in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) in Georgia, Atlanta. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to shape recovery journeys at a pivotal moment, guiding patients from stabilization toward independence with precision, compassion, and leadership. In PCU, you’ll monitor evolving hemodynamics, interpret telemetry, titrate medications, manage complex IV therapies, and implement evidence-based protocols that balance safety with healing. You’ll partner with physicians, care coordinators, and rehabilitation teams to anticipate needs, prevent complications, and champion patient- and family-centered care. Your clinical expertise will be the bridge between critical care and recovery, enabling smoother transitions and improved outcomes. As you answer the call to serve, you’ll feel the difference your hands, your voice, and your clinical judgment make every day. Start date 03/16/2026, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,538-$1,669, designed for weeks-long assignments that honor your expertise while offering the flexibility you deserve. This role is built for nurses who thrive in dynamic environments, relish continuous learning, and want to deepen their proficiency in a specialty that blends acute acuity with the promise of recovery.
Location benefits flow from the heart of Atlanta and the wider Georgia landscape. Working in Georgia, you’ll experience a city renowned for cultural vibrancy, culinary innovation, and a robust healthcare ecosystem that values collaboration and professional growth. Atlanta provides diverse clinical settings—from urban teaching hospitals to community-focused facilities—where you can sharpen leadership skills, participate in multidisciplinary rounds, and influence patient trajectories in real time. Beyond the hospital walls, Georgia glows with natural beauty and rich experiences: the foothills of the Blue Ridge, scenic state parks, and coastal charms within a few hours’ drive. The opportunity to be stationed in Georgia, with the prospect of guest assignments across the United States, expands your professional horizon, offering exposure to varied patient populations, practice standards, and regional best practices. In addition to the clinical rewards, you’ll enjoy a work culture that recognizes your contributions, fosters autonomy, and respects your well-being as you travel and grow. The promise of new places, mentors, and patient stories awaits, with the security of a thriving support network ensuring you’re never alone on the road.
In this PCU nursing role, your responsibilities map directly to meaningful clinical impact and ongoing professional growth. You’ll perform comprehensive assessments, monitor vital signs and cardiac rhythms, recognize subtle shifts in patient status, and escalate appropriately. You’ll lead timely interventions, coordinate with case management for discharge planning, and educate patients and families to enhance understanding and engagement in the recovery process. You’ll participate in quality improvement initiatives, apply evidence-based protocols for infection control, medication safety, and patient mobility, and mentor new staff or traveling teammates to elevate the unit’s performance. The position opens doors to continued skill development—advanced hemodynamic assessment, complex IV therapy management, and evolving post-acute care strategies—while providing a platform to demonstrate clinical leadership in high-stakes situations. In addition to clinical duties, you’ll benefit from a comprehensive benefits package that includes a competitive bonus program, housing assistance, and flexible extension opportunities. You’ll have access to a dedicated 24/7 support team as you travel with the company, ensuring seamless logistics, rapid problem resolution, and a safety net you can rely on during every shift. The combination of competitive compensation, robust support, and a clear path for advancement makes this PCU nursing role not only a job but a career catalyst.
Company values center on empowerment, mentorship, and merit-based growth. The organization is committed to nurturing your capabilities, recognizing your insights, and carving out opportunities that align with your career ambitions.
