Job Description
Step into a pivotal Med Surg nursing role in Townshend, Vermont, where compassionate hands meet critical care and every shift shapes a patient’s recovery journey. As a Registered Nurse specializing in medical-surgical care, you’ll blend clinical expertise with thoughtful bedside presence to stabilize, educate, and advocate for adults navigating complex health concerns. This multi-week assignment offers not only competitive compensation but also a canvas to impact lives in a community that values resilience, kindness, and the dignity of healing. Imagine the pride of guiding patients through care plans, coordinating with interdisciplinary teams, and seeing tangible outcomes on the ward and in discharge planning. Vermont’s landscape is a daily backdrop to your work here, with lush hills, seasonal colors, and small-town charm that invites reflection and balance after demanding shifts.
Townshend sits in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, offering outdoor recreation, locally sourced dining, and a safe, friendly community. For travel nurses, the option to work in various locations across the U.S. expands your professional horizons: you’ll gain exposure to diverse patient populations, hospital systems, and care protocols while still returning to a home base you love. The state’s scenic trails, fall foliage, and easy access to nearby Burlington or Manchester create a rich quality of life during assignments. Townshend’s quieter pace complements the intensity of Med Surg work, providing time to recharge between shifts, pursue continuing education, or mentor new hires on the unit.
In this role, your duties include performing thorough assessments, monitoring vital signs, administering medications, coordinating care with physicians and therapists, and leading patient and family education. You’ll manage acute presentations, chronic disease management, and post-operative care within Med Surg, while seeking opportunities to advance in specialty areas, quality improvement, or leadership. The package features a competitive weekly pay range of $2,048 to $2,199, with a guaranteed 36 hours per week and flexible scheduling to support work-life balance. A welcome bonus and housing assistance help ease transition, and extension opportunities allow you to extend your assignment if you enjoy the team and community. Nationwide support is embedded in your travel experience, including 24/7 assistance from our dedicated staff to address clinical, logistical, or personal needs while you’re on assignment.
Our company is built on empowering nursing professionals to grow—through structured career pathways, ongoing education credits, mentorship, and an environment that respects expertise and fosters collaboration. You’ll join a culture that champions patient-centered care, transparent communication, and a commitment to safety and well-being for every team member. We recognize the unique talents you bring to the Med Surg floor and provide resources to help you refine clinical skills, broaden scope through certifications, and assume responsibilities that align with your goals. The Vermont assignment also presents the chance to explore beyond Townshend, embracing the opportunity to experience a variety of settings across the country, each contributing to a richer perspective on patient care and your professional journey.
