Travel Registered Nurse PICU Job

Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse specializing in Pediatric Intensive Care (PICU) in Marietta, Georgia, where every shift offers the opportunity to make a profound difference in the lives of critically ill children and their families. You’ll join a team that values precision, compassion, and resilience, tackling complex cases with skill and collaborative grit. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to elevate pediatric critical care, mentor peers, and grow your expertise in a high-stakes, supportive environment. Beyond the hospital floor, Georgia’s diverse terrain awaits your downtime—from the tranquil trails of the Blue Ridge to the vibrant rhythms of Atlanta’s culture and history. The Peach State’s scenic landscapes, warm southern hospitality, and rich communities provide a welcoming backdrop as you pursue excellence in pediatric care.

Location Benefits: Marietta sits in the greater Atlanta area, offering convenient access to leading academic medical centers, specialized pediatric units, and a robust network of healthcare professionals. Working here means you’ll benefit from a dynamic urban edge paired with family-friendly neighborhoods, top-rated schools, and plentiful dining and cultural options. For travel assignments, this program also provides the flexibility to be placed in varied locations across the United States, exposing you to a spectrum of pediatric critical care environments—from busy metropolitan NICUs and PICUs to smaller regional facilities. You’ll experience unique care models, interdisciplinary teams, and diverse patient populations that sharpen clinical judgment while you explore new communities. And for downtime, you’ll have opportunities to visit Georgia’s charming towns, lush parks, and historic sites, making your professional journey as enriching outside the hospital as it is inside.

Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Role responsibilities: Provide expert care to critically ill pediatric patients in the PICU, including advanced ventilator management, invasive line care, continuous hemodynamic monitoring, vasoactive medication titration, sedation and pain control, and rapid assessment of clinical changes. Deliver comprehensive, family-centered care, including education on treatment plans, discharge readiness, and ongoing support for families navigating emotional and logistical challenges. Collaborate closely with physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, physical and occupational therapy teams, and case managers to coordinate comprehensive care plans. Maintain precise documentation in electronic health records, adhere to infection control protocols, and participate in ongoing rounds and handoffs to ensure continuity of care. You will also contribute to quality improvement initiatives and share knowledge with peers to elevate PICU practice.
- Professional growth: This role provides a clear pathway for specialization and advancement within pediatric critical care. You’ll have access to continuing education, certifications (such as CCRN with pediatric focus), and mentorship opportunities designed to enhance clinical skill, leadership potential, and evidence-based practice. The program supports professional development through targeted training, case reviews, and opportunities to take on charge or preceptor roles as you gain experience.
- Compensation and incentives: Weekly pay in the range of $1,472–$1,540 reflects the specialized skill set and high level of responsibility. A sign-on bonus is available to eligible candidates, acknowledging the value you bring to advanced pediatric care. Housing assistance is provided to support comfortable, convenient living arrangements while you’re on assignment, plus the potential for contract extensions to continue your professional journey with the team beyond the initial term.
- Support and stability: You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated travel team, including 24/7 assistance while you’re traveling with the company. This includes scheduling flexibility, direct access to clinical specialists for real-time guidance, and a streamlined process for resolving concerns, ensuring you can focus on delivering top-tier patient care.
- Assignment details: Start date is 02/23/2026, with an assignment duration measured in weeks and scheduled rotations designed to align with unit needs and your professional goals. Hours are not guaranteed, and the plan can adapt to hospital demand, offering a dynamic, experience-rich environment that builds resilience and adaptability in critical care settings.
