Job Description
Job DescriptionStep into a pivotal PACU nursing role as a Travel Registered Nurse in the beautiful state of Massachusetts, specializing in post-anesthesia care. As a PACU RN, you’ll stabilize and monitor patients emerging from anesthesia, manage pain and airway support, and collaborate with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and perioperative teams to promote safe, comfortable recoveries. Your expertise will help patients transition from the operating room to recovery with dignity and confidence while you expand your clinical leadership and refine rapid assessment skills under pressure. This assignment begins February 16, 2026 and is structured in weeks, with the flexibility to extend based on facility needs and your professional goals. Beyond the clinical impact, Massachusetts offers coastal charm, historic towns, rolling landscapes, and a culture of education and innovation that can enrich your travel experience during downtime. Picture strolling along Plymouth’s harbor, savoring fresh seafood, exploring colonial heritage, and taking short trips to Cape Cod beaches or Boston’s vibrant neighborhoods—an invigorating backdrop to a demanding, rewarding specialty.
Working in Plymouth provides a quintessential New England environment: a historic waterfront setting with scenic views, quaint shops, and easy access to beaches, parks, and seasonal events. The town’s blend of maritime heritage and modern healthcare excellence creates a stimulating backdrop for your travel assignment. You’ll enjoy the benefit of practicing in a region known for high standards of perioperative care, with opportunities to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams in renowned facilities. And for broader experiences, your travel program can open doors to additional locations across the United States, offering you the chance to immerse yourself in diverse hospital ecosystems, patient populations, and clinical practices. The combination of Massachusetts’ coastline, fall foliage, and urban culture with the broad reach of nationwide assignments means you get the best of both worlds: local yearned-for scenery and the excitement of exploring new environments, all while building a robust nationwide PACU portfolio.
In this role, you’ll deliver comprehensive post-anesthesia care, including immediate recovery monitoring, airway management, hemodynamic assessment, pain control optimization, and safe discharge planning. You’ll perform timely reassessments, recognize subtle changes in patient status, communicate effectively with the perioperative team, and document care with precision to ensure continuity of treatment. You’ll mentor junior staff and share best practices in patient safety, infection control, and evidence-based PACU protocols. This position supports professional growth through ongoing skill-building, opportunities to participate in quality improvement initiatives, and potential pathways to advanced practice or leadership within perioperative services. The program emphasizes competitive benefits, including a sign-on bonus, housing assistance or stipends, and extension opportunities to align with your evolving career goals. You’ll also have access to a robust 24/7 support network from the travel company, ensuring you have trusted guidance and resources whenever you need them during your journey.
Our company values empower you to advance your career in a supportive environment that prioritizes clinical excellence and personal well-being. You’ll be part of a culture that recognizes the importance of continuous learning, collaborative problem solving, and transparent communication. With dedicated clinical educators, mentorship opportunities, and transparent performance feedback, there are clear, achievable steps to progress within PACU and across perioperative services. The emphasis on work–life balance, safety, and staff wellbeing reinforces a sustainable career path, whether you’re building specialized PACU expertise or aiming for leadership roles in hospital operations. The organization is committed to promoting internal talent, offering advancement tracks, and fostering an inclusive environment where every nurse’s contributions are valued.
If you’re driven by meaningful patient impact, professional growth, and the thrill of travel nursing in a region that blends historical charm with modern healthcare excellence, this is the opportunity for you. Apply now to join a company that prioritizes your development, supports your ambitions, and values the critical care you provide every day.
