About the role

The Registered Nurse will lead acute care nursing on a Med/Surg unit, delivering skilled, evidence-based care, coordinating discharge planning, and educating patients and families. Responsibilities include performing comprehensive patient assessments, administering treatments, managing IV therapy, and responding to clinical changes with precision.

Seize a transformative opportunity as a Registered Nurse specializing in Med Surg, stepping into a travel-ready role that blends clinical mastery with compassionate patient advocacy.

In this assignment, you’ll lead acute care nursing on a Med/Surg unit, delivering skilled, evidence-based care to diverse adults while collaborating with physicians, case managers, and support teams.

Your impact will extend beyond bedside care—educating patients and families, coordinating discharge planning, and helping to restore function and dignity during a pivotal chapter of illness or recovery.

Imagine the professional growth that comes from applying your Med Surg expertise across varied hospital environments, refining assessment skills, expanding intravenous therapy competencies, and sharpening your critical thinking to tailor plans of care to each unique patient.

This opportunity supports your mission to make a lasting difference, with the beauty of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, as your everyday inspiration.

Nestled in the scenic southwest corner of Colorado, Pagosa Springs offers a rare blend of small-town warmth and outdoor adventure.

You’ll be treated to the charm of a close-knit community, easy access to the San Juan National Forest, and the mineral-rich hot springs that give the town its name.

Summers invite hiking, mountain biking, and fishing, while winters open doors to snow sports and cozy evenings by the fire.

Beyond the town’s natural beauty, you’ll experience a quality of life that prioritizes balance, wellness, and connection.

For those who crave variety, the role also presents the possibility to work in other locations across the United States, delivering a broad spectrum of clinical experiences while maintaining the same commitment to patient-centered care.

Location benefits go beyond the mountains.

In Pagosa Springs you’ll enjoy manageable drive times, a supportive local healthcare community, and opportunities to connect with peers who value teamwork and continuous learning.

The assignment is designed to complement your professional trajectory by exposing you to diverse presentations, populations, and post-acute pathways.

The chance to travel expands your horizons—each placement introduces new clinical challenges, documentation workflows, and care coordination strategies that will enrich your resume and deepen your expertise.

And if you choose to extend, you’ll benefit from streamlined processes designed to help you settle into extended cycles of care, with consistent access to a network of mentors and clinical leads who celebrate your progress.

Role specifics and benefits.

As a Med Surg RN, you’ll perform comprehensive patient assessments, monitor vital signs, administer medications and treatments, manage IV therapy, and respond to clinical changes with speed and precision.

You’ll coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to plan and implement optimal care plans, participate in rounds, and ensure smooth transitions through pre- and post-operative phases, along with effective discharge education and follow-up instructions.

You’ll document meticulously in electronic health records, recognize shifts in patient status, and leverage evidence-based protocols to prevent complications.

The role is structured to support professional growth: ongoing access to specialty certifications, in-hospital mentorship, skill-building in telemetry or perioperative care as available, and pathways to expanded responsibilities as you demonstrate leadership and clinical proficiency.

Competitive benefits accompany your daily practice, including a welcome bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and opportunities to extend assignments based on mutual fit and performance.

You’ll also receive dedicated, 24/7 support from a travel nursing team that’s committed to removing obstacles and ensuring you can focus on patient care and personal well-being, no matter where your assignments take you.

Weekly pay for this position ranges from $1,947 to $2,065, with flexible scheduling designed to support your work-life balance, and a notice that guaranteed hours are not fixed, offering you the chance to maximize your earnings based on unit needs and your availability.

The company values your expertise and your growth.

At the core, the organization empowers nursing professionals to advance their careers within a supportive, collaborative environment.

Continuous learning is celebrated, whether through formal CEU opportunities, mentorship from seasoned RNs, or stepping into charge nurse or preceptor roles as you gain experience.

The company understands that travel nursing is not just a job but a pathway to broader clinical competencies and personal resilience.

You’ll find a culture that prioritizes safety, professional integrity, and open communication, ensuring you always have a voice in shaping care delivery and unit dynamics.

Call to action

Market context

Colorado nursing roles favor experienced RNs

Colorado nursing roles like this often draw steady demand from home health and hospice settings, where employers look for RNs who can work independently and manage patient care in the field. These positions are competitive because a current Colorado RN license, prior nursing experience, reliable transportation, and familiarity with HCHB can all strengthen an application. Review the AI-summarized requirements and benefits here to save time, then confirm your license, driving documents, and home health or hospice experience before applying.
