This is more than a job—it's a chance to shape the recovery journeys of critically ill children while growing alongside expert clinicians who share your dedication, curiosity, and heart. Imagine the impact you’ll make every shift, guiding little patients through some of their toughest moments with expertise, grace, and unwavering bedside presence. And when you’re ready to explore, this opportunity can also open doors to fulfilling assignments across the United States, inviting you to learn from diverse teams and settings, all while staying grounded in the care that matters most. Georgia offers a welcoming environment with a blend of vibrant city life and tranquil natural beauty—from the historic charm of Marietta Square and the family-friendly neighborhoods to nearby parks and scenic getaways in the Blue Ridge foothills. You’ll have the chance to enjoy southern hospitality, rich community connections, and the comfort of staying rooted in a place that feels like home, even as you expand your professional horizons.
Location benefits extend beyond Marietta. Working in Georgia’s thriving metro region provides access to top-tier academic medical centers, specialized pediatric units, and cross-disciplinary collaborations that sharpen your clinical acumen. For families and professionals alike, the state’s varied landscapes—quiet suburban neighborhoods, bustling city energies, and easy drives to outdoor adventures—offer a high quality of life. And for those drawn to new experiences, the possibility to rotate through other U.S. locations means you can broaden your skill set, encounter different patient populations, and build a versatile resume that highlights your adaptability and leadership in pediatric critical care. In this role, you’ll receive robust support designed to reduce barriers to success: comprehensive onboarding, 24/7 assistance while you travel with the company, and access to resources that help you thrive both on and off the unit.
In this role, responsibilities center on delivering evidence-based, family-centered PICU care. You’ll monitor critically ill pediatric patients, manage ventilators and hemodynamic support, administer medications with precision, respond to emergent events with swift, coordinated action, and participate in rounds to align goals with the care team. Your day-to-day duties will include continuous patient assessment, accurate documentation, and collaboration with physicians, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, social workers, and families to design and adjust care plans. You’ll champion safety, infection control, and pain management while navigating complex clinical scenarios with composure. Professional growth awaits: ongoing education, opportunities for specialty certification support, mentorship from experienced PICU clinicians, and pathways to expand into leadership or education roles within pediatric critical care. The generosity of the package reflects this commitment to your development.
Our compensation approach is designed to recognize your expertise and dedication. The weekly pay offered ranges from 1,464 to 1,531, reflecting the intensity and responsibility of PICU work, with a flexible assignment structure that begins around 03/02/2026. While the hours aren’t guaranteed, you’ll have the flexibility of a week-by-week schedule that supports clinical excellence and personal balance, alongside housing assistance to ease relocation or short-term stays if you’re traveling between assignments. In addition to competitive pay, you’ll enjoy potential extension opportunities and the possibility of bonuses that reward your dedication, performance, and contribution to patient families during critical care moments. The comprehensive support from the company runs 24/7, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone while you’re away from home. This includes access to travel coordinators, clinical mentors, and a network of peers who share a commitment to high-quality pediatric care and professional fulfillment.
The company’s values center on empowering nurses like you to advance professionally while maintaining a supportive, collaborative environment. Expect clear growth pathways, structured opportunities for skill enhancement in PICU-specific practices, and a culture that places patient well-being and family involvement at the forefront. You’ll be encouraged to lead, to teach, and to contribute to quality improvement initiatives that elevate outcomes for the most vulnerable patients.
