Job Description
Job DescriptionEmbark on a dynamic journey as a Travel Registered Nurse with a specialty in Labor and Delivery, shaping outcomes for families at one of Texas’s coastal communities while opening doors to opportunities across the United States. This is your chance to blend clinical excellence with the thrill of new environments, delivering high‑quality obstetric care, supporting mothers through one of life’s most meaningful moments, and growing your expertise in a fast‑paced, evidence‑based setting. As you answer the call to care, picture yourself weaving through the warmth of Port Lavaca’s welcoming streets and the broader tapestry of America’s diverse hospital systems. In addition to the local appeal, you’ll have the chance to work in various locations nationwide, gaining exposure to different hospital cultures, patient demographics, and clinical protocols that broaden your practice and enrich your resume. Along the way, you’ll discover the beauty that Texas holds—coastal sunrises over the bay, scrambling gulls above saltwater marshes, and the easy charm of small towns that lift your spirits after a demanding shift.
Situated on the Gulf Coast, Port Lavaca blends a small‑town ambiance with modern healthcare amenities, providing a supportive backdrop for travel nursing. You’ll enjoy access to coastal recreation, waterways that invite fishing and boating, and a proximity to larger Texas cities for weekend explorations. The state of Texas itself offers a spectrum of natural wonders and urban experiences—from the serene shoreline to the scenic Hill Country, from thriving metropolitan centers to quiet, walkable neighborhoods. You’ll have the opportunity to spend time in Port Lavaca while also rotating to other U.S. locations that broaden your clinical horizons and sharpen your leadership potential. The prospect of living and working in diverse communities means you can tailor assignments to your personal and professional goals, while anchors like robust staffing teams and 24/7 support keep you connected wherever you are.
In this Labor and Delivery role, you’ll manage the full spectrum of obstetric care for laboring mothers, newborn stabilization, and postpartum recovery. Core responsibilities include continuous fetal monitoring, triage and admission of patients, assisting obstetricians during labor and delivery, performing routine obstetric assessments, managing emergent obstetric situations, and delivering newborns with skilled resuscitation when needed. You’ll collaborate with nursing colleagues, anesthesia, and neonatal teams to ensure safe, patient‑centered care and smooth transitions from labor to postpartum recovery. This assignment offers meaningful professional growth within the specialty—opportunities to refine high‑risk obstetric skills, participate in quality improvement initiatives, mentor junior nurses, and expand knowledge through agency‑sponsored trainings and certifications. The package features competitive weekly pay between $2,058 and $2,169, plus bonus possibilities, housing assistance, and potential extension opportunities to extend your impact beyond the initial assignment. While this role provides demanding clinical experiences, you’ll benefit from comprehensive support, including a 24/7 help desk for travel and clinical questions, ensuring you stay focused on patient care. It’s a chance to elevate your practice in a collaborative, safety‑driven environment that values precision, compassion, and professional growth as you navigate care across different settings.
The company places a premium on values that empower its staff. You’ll join a culture that champions ongoing professional development, mentorship, and a supportive work environment where every nurse’s contribution matters. Expect structured pathways for career advancement, access to continuing education resources, and leadership opportunities that recognize your expertise and dedication. The organization understands that travel nursing is a partnership, and it builds that partnership with transparent communication, reliable scheduling, and a network of peers who celebrate your successes. You’ll be encouraged to embrace innovation in patient care, participate in interdisciplinary rounds, and bring your patient‑centered voice to the table as you help shape safer, more efficient maternity care across facilities.
Ready to take the next step? If you’re a compassionate RN with obstetric acuity and the drive to explore new settings while delivering exceptional care, this is your invitation to apply. Begin your journey on a path that blends meaningful, hands‑on patient care with personal freedom to explore Texas’ coastlines and the United States’ diverse healthcare landscapes. Start date is 02/16/2026 for a flexible assignment lasting several weeks, with weekly pay in the range of $2,058 to $2,169. There are no guaranteed hours, but you’ll receive extensive support, including housing assistance, a sign‑on bonus in some cases, and opportunities for contract extensions to continue advancing your career. The company believes in your potential and is committed to helping you grow—professionally and personally—while you deliver lifesaving obstetric care and nurture families during pivotal moments. If you’re ready to contribute your expertise, expand your horizons, and join a team that values your growth, apply today and discover a travel nursing experience built around your ambitions and well‑being.
