In this travel‑style assignment, you’ll bring clinical excellence to the bedside, mentor teammates, and play a central part in healing, recovery, and patient education. From the moment you arrive on your unit, you’ll be empowered to apply your med‑surg expertise to stabilize acute conditions, manage post‑operative needs, and guide patients and families through careful discharge planning. You’ll work within a supportive network that values your clinical judgment, your commitment to safe practice, and your ability to adapt care plans as patient needs evolve.

Nestled on the beautiful Central Coast, King City offers a climate that blends sunlit days with the serenity of California’s agricultural heartland. The region invites you to enjoy scenic drives, welcoming communities, and easy access to a mosaic of natural beauty—Paso Robles wine country and the rugged coastline within reach for weekend explorations. Working in this locale means you’ll experience the practical advantages of California living—quality healthcare networks, robust resources, and a community that supports healthcare professionals who spark positive change in their patients’ lives.

In the Med Surg role, you’ll own critical responsibilities that reinforce your clinical prowess and professional trajectory. Core duties include comprehensive patient assessments, meticulous monitoring of vital signs and telemetry when indicated, timely administration of medications and IV therapies, and vigilant wound and drain care. You’ll participate in multidisciplinary rounds, contribute to individualized care plans, and coordinate with physicians, case managers, and rehabilitative teams to optimize discharge planning and post‑acute needs. You’ll use evidence‑based practices to prevent complications, manage acute changes, and deliver patient‑ and family‑centered education to support adherence and autonomy. This position emphasizes professional growth—through ongoing education, mentorship from experienced peers, and opportunities to lead quality improvement initiatives within the unit. The role also highlights the practical benefits of travel nursing: you’ll receive a competitive sign‑on bonus, comprehensive housing assistance, and the chance to extend the assignment based on performance and staffing needs. You’ll be supported by a robust network of travel coordinators and clinical specialists who provide 24/7 assistance as you travel, ensuring seamless operations, rapid problem resolution, and a sense of security no matter where your assignments take you.
