Job description
Join a dedicated medical-surgical stroke stepdown unit in Utica, NY, for a 13-week travel nursing assignment.

The role requires floating to various areas within the unit, so flexibility and adaptability are key. If you've got at least two years of med-surg experience with stroke stepdown, hold an active NY RN license, and are comfortable with EMR systems like EPIC, this assignment might just be your next adventure—minus the long-term commitment.
