Job Description
Job DescriptionStep into the ER as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in Emergency Medicine, with a compelling opportunity to make a tangible difference in Maine’s coastal communities. Calais, a welcoming town on the Atlantic fringe, offers a small‑town atmosphere paired with high‑energy clinical challenges that keep you at the top of your game. From the moment you arrive on 02/16/2026, you’ll embark on a weeks‑long assignment designed to test your instincts, expand your skill set, and connect you with patients who rely on your expertise during their most vulnerable moments. Imagine delivering urgent care with compassion, coordinating rapid interventions, and teaching others through your clinical leadership — all while exploring a state renowned for its rugged shorelines, lighthouses, whale watching, and sunsets over pine forests. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to grow as a clinician and as a traveler within a supportive, mission‑driven team.
Location benefits: Maine’s natural beauty isn’t just scenery—it’s a workplace advantage. Calais sits along the salt air and pine trees, where you’ll enjoy shorter commutes, a tight‑knit community, and opportunities to unwind outdoors after shifts. And because this is a travel role, you’ll also have the flexibility to work in multiple settings across the United States, expanding your professional network and sharpening your ER acuity in a range of patient populations, from rural clinics to high‑volume urban centers. Weekly pay ranges from $1,956 to $2,007, with housing and travel arrangements coordinated by the agency to minimize disruption and maximize your focus on patient care. You’ll find professional fulfillment in supporting families during crises and in the satisfaction of delivering timely, life‑saving interventions in a setting that values both patient outcomes and caregiver well‑being.
Role specifics and benefits: As an ER RN, you’ll triage, assess, and stabilize critically ill or injured patients; perform rapid assessments, administer medications, initiate IV access, manage airway and pain control, interpret EKGs, and coordinate with physicians, imaging, and labs to drive timely decisions. You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to implement care plans, advocate for patients and families, and mentor junior staff to elevate overall unit performance. The assignment presents clear pathways for professional growth within emergency nursing, including opportunities for shift leadership, cross‑training in advanced monitoring or trauma protocols, and extension opportunities to continue contributing to the team beyond the initial weeks. The program offers a competitive package that includes a bonus, housing assistance, and options to extend the contract to suit your career plans. You’ll receive comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from the travel program’s team, ensuring you’re never alone on the road and always backed by a knowledgeable resource while you travel. You’ll be supported with streamlined onboarding, efficient credentialing, and access to continuing education resources designed to sharpen your ER expertise while you explore new communities.
Company values: Our organization is deeply committed to empowering its staff, investing in ongoing education, and fostering a supportive work environment that prioritizes safety, compassion, and collaboration. We celebrate diverse clinical perspectives and encourage nurses to lead by example—advocating for patients, mentoring peers, and pursuing professional advancement with confidence. The culture centers on transparent communication, recognition of achievement, and a shared mission to deliver high‑quality urgent care while maintaining work‑life balance. Whether you’re seeking to broaden your clinical repertoire or to build a lasting career in travel nursing, you’ll find a welcoming, forward‑thinking partner in this program who supports your growth every step of the way.
Call to action: Ready to apply? This is your opportunity to join a team that honors your contributions and supports your professional development as you deliver urgent care across Maine and beyond. Start date is 02/16/2026 for a weeks‑long assignment, with a weekly pay range between $1,956 and $2,007 and a guaranteed hours policy of 0.0 hours, with extension opportunities available for the right candidate.
