Travel Registered Nurse PCU Job

Answer the call to deliver compassionate, high-caliber care as a Registered Nurse in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) at premier facilities in Atlanta, GA. This multi-week assignment starts March 16, 2026, and offers you the chance to deepen your clinical expertise in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where every patient story matters. In PCU, you’ll blend critical observation with proactive care, guiding patients from acute stabilization toward recovery, and supporting families as they navigate transitions of care. You’ll have opportunities to refine telemetry interpretation, hemodynamic assessment, vascular access, medication administration, and evidence‑based protocols, all while contributing to a care team that values vigilance, empathy, and professional excellence. If you’re driven by hands-on practice in a specialty that sits at the intersection of monitoring intensity and individualized patient progress, this role is your platform to impact lives every shift.

Georgia’s capital region is a vibrant anchor for health care and culture. Working in Atlanta means daily exposure to a diverse patient population and a network of top‑tier hospitals and specialists, with the chance to collaborate across units and disciplines. The city’s thriving arts scene, parks, neighborhoods, and proximity to scenic enclaves—from the foothills of the Georgia mountains to the coastline of nearby coastal towns—add depth to a demanding career. And if you’re drawn to exploring more of the country, the assignment’s structure opens the door to temporary placements at partner sites across the United States, broadening your professional horizons while you grow your professional network. In short, you’ll gain not only clinical proficiency but also a richer, more expansive perspective on patient care, all while enjoying the comfort and conveniences of life in one of America’s most dynamic cities.

Location benefits extend beyond Atlanta’s immediate opportunities. You’ll be part of a program that values work‑life balance, predictable scheduling, and the stability that comes with guaranteed hours. You’ll operate within a supportive ecosystem that understands travel nursing demands and provides streamlined access to licensing, credentialing, onboarding, and housing options. For those who crave variety, there is the potential to work at multiple partner sites across the country, experiencing different patient populations, facility cultures, and clinical challenges that build resilience and versatility. The work experience becomes a gateway to a broader professional outlook, helping you refine your technique, expand your clinical repertoire, and establish a network that sustains your growth long after the assignment ends.

Role specifics and benefits: This PCU RN role centers on high‑quality, patient‑centered care in a setting that emphasizes monitoring, early intervention, and coordinated care planning. You will be integral to rapid assessment, continuous telemetry, medication administration, IV therapy, wound and drainage management, and patient education. You’ll participate in rounds, partner with physicians and other clinicians, and contribute to discharge planning to ensure smooth transitions from hospital to home or another level of care. The position offers competitive benefits, including a signing or performance bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities if you and the facility find a continued fit. You’ll receive 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team, ensuring help with housing, transportation, licensing, and any real‑time needs that arise while you’re on assignment. The role is designed to foster professional growth within the PCU specialty, with access to continued education, mentorship from experienced PCU clinicians, opportunities for certification support, and pathways toward leadership or advanced practice roles as you demonstrate excellence and reliability.

Key responsibilities include:
- Provide comprehensive nursing care for PCU patients, focusing on stabilization, monitoring, and timely escalation of concerns.
- Perform and interpret telemetry data, hemodynamic assessments, and early warning scoring to guide interventions.
- Administer medications accurately, manage IV therapies, and ensure safe vascular access practices.

- Assist in discharge planning, patient education, and coordination with case managers to optimize outcomes.
- Maintain infection control standards, patient safety, and comfort, adapting to evolving clinical situations.
