Travel Registered Nurse ICU Job

Embark on an extraordinary journey as a Registered Nurse-ICU specialist-based in Glendale, California, with a start date of December 22, 2025. In this role you'll bring critical care expertise to patients at their most vulnerable moments, guiding families with empathy and precision, and elevating the standard of acute care through your clinical leadership. Picture yourself delivering world-class, evidence-based interventions in a fast-paced trauma and medical ICU, where every shift offers the chance to make a tangible difference. And when you need a breath of fresh air, California's sunsets, sunlit coastlines, and redwood forests beckon-a reminder of the beautiful places this state has to offer, from scenic beaches to alpine adventures and vibrant city life just beyond your doorstep.

Glendale is a thriving hub in the Los Angeles metro area, offering convenient access to renowned hospitals, top-tier professional networks, and a community that values innovation and excellence. Working here provides the energy of a dynamic urban environment while granting opportunities to travel within the United States to diverse healthcare settings, further expanding your clinical horizons. This role blends the stability of a respected pulse of care with the excitement of new environments, enabling you to refine your practice across units, patient populations, and care protocols while enjoying California's rich culture and outdoor recreation. Whether you're drawn to the sunlit corridors of California's premier institutions or the chance to accept assignments across other states, you'll find an appealing balance of professional challenge and personal well-being.

In this ICU RN position, you'll assume frontline responsibility for the most acutely ill patients. Core duties include continuous monitoring of hemodynamics and respiratory status, ventilator management, vasoactive infusions, and rapid response participation during code events. You'll coordinate care with physicians, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, and social workers, ensuring timely interventions, accurate documentation, and meticulous adherence to infection control and safety protocols. You'll assess and prioritize changes in patient condition, implement care plans, manage complex medication regimens, and mentor junior staff and nursing techs as needed. This role presents meaningful opportunities for professional growth-pursue specialty certifications, broaden your expertise in neuro, trauma, or sepsis care, and assume leadership tracks such as charge nurse or clinical educator. You'll be supported to pursue ongoing education and clinical excellence, with pathways to expand your impact across a range of ICU environments.
