Travel Registered Nurse CCU Job

Step into a pivotal role as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in Critical Care (CCU) in New Jersey, with a focused assignment in Trenton and surrounding hospital communities. In this CCU assignment, your expertise will directly influence outcomes for critically ill adults, guiding rapid responses and complex treatment plans, while mentoring peers and elevating the standard of care. You’ll provide advanced hemodynamic monitoring, ventilator management, arterial and central line care, and precise titration of vasoactive medications, all while collaborating with physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, case managers, and families. Your leadership will shine in high-stakes situations, from bedside assessments to handoffs during transitions of care. As you deliver life-saving care, you’ll also cultivate a broader CCU skill set, positioning yourself for ongoing professional growth within a national network. And when you’re off shift, you can enjoy New Jersey’s rich tapestry: stroll through Trenton’s historic districts, explore Princeton’s universities and cultural venues, unwind on the Jersey Shore, or hike along the Delaware River or in the Pine Barrens. The Garden State pairs bustling urban access with scenic escapes, offering balance that feeds both your professional fulfillment and personal well-being.

Location benefits: Anchored in Trenton, you’ll be part of a vibrant healthcare ecosystem with easy access to major metropolitan corridors, including Philadelphia and New York City, expanding your opportunities for professional networking, continuing education, and personal exploration. You’ll experience a diverse patient population across urban-physician teams and tertiary centers, enhancing clinical decision-making and adaptability in CCU settings. This program also presents the opportunity to work across multiple locations in the United States, delivering a wide spectrum of CCU experiences—from large academic hospitals to community facilities—thereby sharpening assessment skills, expanding practice protocols, and enriching your resume. A structured contract with guaranteed hours provides stability while you rotate through different units, exposing you to varied teams, equipment, and care pathways. In addition, you’ll benefit from the chance to immerse yourself in New Jersey’s cultural offerings, culinary scene, and natural beauty—quick escapes between shifts keep you energized and focused.

Role specifics and benefits: In this CCU assignment, you’ll care for adults with life-threatening cardiac, respiratory, and multisystem illness, delivering continuous hemodynamic monitoring, invasive line management, ventilator weaning and optimization, and precise medication titration. You’ll participate in rapid response and code events, contribute to rounds, implement and refine nurse-driven protocols, and ensure safe patient transfers to higher levels of care when needed. Your responsibilities include accurate documentation, clear communication during handoffs, and collaboration with interdisciplinary teams to align on care goals and discharge planning. You’ll mentor junior staff, engage in quality improvement initiatives, and pursue CCU-specific professional development, including certifications or cross-training opportunities within the network. Compensation reflects competitive travel nursing rates, with weekly pay ranging from $2,050 to $2,222 and a guaranteed 36 hours per week. A sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and potential extension opportunities add substantial value, making it easier to plan your stay and maximize your experience. You’ll receive a comprehensive orientation, ongoing education, and access to clinical mentors to refine complex skill sets. 24/7 support from our dedicated travel team accompanies you throughout the assignment, along with credentialing assistance and a streamlined onboarding process to keep you focused on patient care.

Company values: Our organization is committed to empowering clinicians through ongoing learning, mentorship, and advancement opportunities within a collaborative, supportive culture. We foster environments where experienced RNs can share expertise, lead quality improvements, and pursue specialized CCU competencies. By prioritizing work-life balance, transparent communication, and recognition of your contributions, we aim to create a thriving environment that elevates patient outcomes and clinician satisfaction alike.
