Travel Registered Nurse L&D Job

Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Nurse specializing in Labor and Delivery, anchored in Fort Defiance, Arizona. This is your chance to guide families through one of life’s most meaningful moments with clinical precision, compassionate leadership, and collaborative care. If you’re driven by the rhythm of high-stakes obstetric support, you’ll find a place where your expertise directly shapes safe births, thriving mothers, and optimistic families. Arizona’s landscape offers more than just sun and scenery; it offers a backdrop for resilience and renewal. From the striking desert skies to pine-draped uplands, the state invites exploration, while Fort Defiance itself offers a close-knit community atmosphere that values tradition, connection, and mutual support. When you’re off duty, you’ll discover inspiring natural beauty, local culture, and the chance to recharge in settings that balance outdoor adventure with a strong sense of belonging.

Location Benefits: Fort Defiance places you in a meaningful community with deep cultural roots and a patient population that benefits from culturally competent, family-centered care. You’ll experience streamlined teamwork with physicians, midwives, and nursing leaders who share a commitment to safety, evidence-based practice, and continuous improvement. Beyond this assignment, you’ll have the opportunity to work across multiple locations within the U.S., expanding your clinical exposure to diverse obstetric environments and populations. This flexibility enables you to enhance your skills in high-risk obstetrics, neonatal resuscitation, postpartum care, and lactation support while building a national network of mentors and peers. The combination of a supportive local setting and the chance to explore other regions creates a uniquely rewarding professional journey that fits both your clinical goals and your sense of adventure.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As part of the Labor and Delivery team, your responsibilities will include monitoring maternal and fetal well-being, conducting comprehensive assessments, and initiating timely interventions during labor and delivery. You’ll assist with ushering safe births, support epidural and analgesia administration within scope, and manage postpartum care and newborn stabilization in collaboration with the pediatrics team. You’ll lead with evidence-based practice, participate in rounds, and mentor less experienced staff, with ongoing opportunities to pursue certifications in obstetric nursing and neonatal care. This role is designed to foster professional growth through hands-on leadership, continuing education, and exposure to a broad spectrum of obstetric scenarios. The compensation package is competitive, including a weekly pay range of 2,590 to 2,799, with guaranteed 36 hours per week. The contract begins on 02/23/2026 and is structured for weeks, with potential extension opportunities based on performance and staffing needs. In addition, a sign-on bonus is available, along with housing assistance to ease transition and a clear path for contract extensions. You’ll be supported by a dedicated travel team offering 24/7 assistance while you relocate and rotate across sites, ensuring you have ongoing guidance, resources, and problem-solving support whenever you need it. This role emphasizes teamwork, safety, and patient-centered outcomes, and it provides a platform to elevate your practice while enriching your professional portfolio.

Company Values: Our partner organization is deeply committed to empowering clinicians, prioritizing your career advancement, and cultivating a supportive work environment. You’ll find transparent communication, structured onboarding, and clear pathways to leadership roles, all designed to recognize your expertise and expand your scope of practice. The culture centers on collaboration, mutual respect, and continuous learning, ensuring you have the resources to grow—whether you’re refining obstetric techniques, pursuing advanced certifications, or mentoring the next generation of nurses. With a focus on work-life balance within travel assignments, the team strives to create predictable schedules and dependable support so you can deliver exceptional care while maintaining personal well-being.
