Job description
Job Description:
Join a 13-week travel assignment as a Medical-Surgical Oncology Registered Nurse in New Haven. You will care for adult patients receiving medical-surgical and oncology treatment while working a consistent overnight schedule of three 12-hour shifts. ONS/chemo certification is preferred but not required, and prior travel experience is not necessary. The role includes required call, floating, and every-other-weekend coverage, offering an opportunity to build oncology experience in a short-term acute care setting. Night-shift nurses may find the quieter hours ideal for focused care—and for perfecting their coffee strategy.
Weather:
Expect crisp, comfortable fall weather with cool mornings, mild afternoons, and refreshing evenings. Occasional rain is possible, so a light jacket and comfortable waterproof footwear can help you enjoy the area.

• Downtown Exploration: Visit New Haven’s historic downtown, local shops, galleries, and restaurants.
• East Rock Park: Hike or drive to the summit for scenic views of New Haven and the surrounding area.
• Shoreline Day Trip: Spend the day at Hammonasset Beach State Park for walking trails, coastal views, and fresh air.
• Mystic Day Trip: Explore Mystic’s waterfront, historic attractions, and maritime character on a full-day getaway.
• Long Island Sound: Enjoy waterfront walks, parks, and relaxing views along the coast.
