About the role

Deliver high-acuity nursing care to patients with complex cardiac, respiratory, and renal conditions in a Progressive Care Unit. Coordinate individualized care plans, implement provider orders, and monitor patient reactions to treatments.

Summer is our busiest season.

This is Big Sky Country for a reason—summer here doesn’t feel small. Longer days, rising tourism, outdoor recreation, and a seasonal influx of visitors all contribute to a significant increase in our patient care volume throughout Northwest Montana. We are seeking experienced Progressice Care nurses to join us for a 13-week seasonal assignment and help care for our community when demand is at its highest.

Our Mission

Quality, compassionate care for all.

Our Vision

Reimagine health care through connection, service and innovation.

Our Core Values

Be Kind | Trust and Be Trusted | Work Together | Strive for Excellence.

At Logan Health, seasonal RNs are not viewed as temporary help—they are fully integrated members of the Progressive Care Unit team. From day one, you will work alongside experienced nurses, providers, therapists, case managers, and support staff to deliver exceptional care to patients with complex cardiac, respiratory, renal, and medical conditions requiring advanced monitoring and specialized nursing interventions.

Why consider this position? This is a unique chance to elevate your nursing career with a full-time commitment for 13 weeks in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. As a Seasonal RN in our PCU, you'll work with high-acuity patients, tackling complex conditions such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and respiratory issues.

You’ll also play a critical role in post-operative cardiac care, handling heart catheterizations, pacemakers, and more, while gaining experience in advanced respiratory and kidney disease care. Qualified candidates must have at least 2 years of prior experience working in a unit that provides care for patients with similar needs.

Just as importantly, your time off becomes part of the experience itself.

Each assignment aligns with Montana’s natural rhythm—from peak summer energy to the quiet beauty of late fall.

  • Taking quiet walks on uncrowded trails and scenic drives through the valley
  • Experiencing a strong sense of local community as the pace slows and winter approaches

  • Exploring local harvest festivals, farmers markets, and seasonal events
  • Hiking among golden larch trees and enjoying crisp mountain air on uncrowded trails
  • Visiting charming mountain towns decorated for the holidays
  • Experiencing the first snowfall of the season and the anticipation of winter recreation

❄️ September 21 – December 19 | Fall Colors, First Snowfall & Holiday Magic

This assignment offers a front-row seat to Montana's transition from autumn to winter.

When you're not caring for patients, you might be

  • Exploring Glacier National Park during peak fall color season
  • Enjoying scenic drives framed by golden tamaracks, snow-capped peaks, and changing leaves
  • Attending holiday festivals, tree lightings, and community celebrations throughout the Flathead Valley
  • Experiencing the opening weeks of ski and snowboard season at Whitefish Mountain Resort
  • Discovering the cozy charm of Montana's small towns during the holiday season

Market context

Montana PCU RN seasonal role

Progressive care unit RN roles in Montana are often competitive because hospitals look for nurses with recent critical care experience and current licensure who can step into higher-acuity care with limited orientation. This assignment requires a Montana or compact RN license, at least two years in a similar setting, BLS, and NIHSS preferred or due within six months; review the posting closely because job requirements and benefits here are AI-summarized from the original description, saving you research time. If you are considering applying, confirm your licensure status and NIHSS plan before submitting.
