Travel Registered Nurse Wound Care Job

Step into a pivotal role as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in Wound Care, bringing healing, education, and evidence-based management to patients navigating complex wound recovery. Based in Tucson, Arizona, you will partner with interdisciplinary teams to assess, plan, and implement comprehensive care that accelerates healing, reduces complications, and improves quality of life. Your expertise will guide chronic wound care, post-operative wounds, venous and arterial ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure injuries, with a focus on advanced dressings, wound VAC therapy when appropriate, and timely progression through care plans. This opportunity invites you to apply clinical autonomy within a supportive travel-nurse culture that celebrates professionalism, resilience, and compassionate patient education. And for those who crave the blend of outdoor beauty and urban amenities, Arizona offers spectacular deserts, red rock vistas, vibrant southwestern cuisine, and national parks just a short drive away from your Tucson assignment.

Tucson is a hub of warmth, professional growth, and high-quality healthcare facilities. Working in this city means access to dynamic medical campuses, teaching hospitals, and community clinics that value wound-care excellence. The role can include assignments across facilities in the Tucson area, providing exposure to diverse patient populations and care environments. For adventurers, the travel nursing model also offers opportunities to work in other locations across the United States, allowing you to experience coastal breezes, mountain air, plains perspectives, and metropolitan energy while continuing to expand your wound-care toolkit. Each assignment delivers unique clinical challenges—from acute care settings to outpatient wound centers—and the chance to learn new protocols, earn professional recognition, and build a robust portfolio of wound-care interventions. You’ll benefit from a structured orientation, ongoing mentorship, and 24/7 support from the company, ensuring you can deliver safe, excellent care no matter where your travels take you.

Key responsibilities include comprehensive wound assessment, pressure injury prevention, wound bed optimization, debridement within your scope, and the selection and management of advanced dressings, negative pressure therapy, and adjunctive therapies. You’ll develop and implement individualized wound-care plans, monitor progress with standardized metrics, document outcomes accurately, and coordinate with physicians, case managers, and therapists to ensure seamless transitions from hospital to home or outpatient settings. You will educate patients and families about wound care, dressing changes, nutrition, edema management, and activity modification to promote healing and prevent setbacks. The role offers clear pathways for professional growth: pursue wound-care certifications, engage in quality-improvement initiatives, and participate in interdisciplinary rounds to influence evidence-based practices. Enjoy competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $1,705 to $1,811 and a guaranteed 24 hours per week, plus a bonus structure, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend your contract. The travel program provides comprehensive support, including 24/7 traveler assistance, dedicated staffing coordinators, and access to housing options or stipends designed to reduce living-cost pressures. With a supportive framework that values your well-being, you can focus on clinical excellence while your needs are met off the unit as you navigate new communities and facilities. The start date for this assignment is March 30, 2026, and each engagement runs for a defined block of weeks with potential extensions based on facility demand, patient volume, and your performance.

At the heart of our organization is a commitment to empowering clinicians, enabling continuous professional development, and cultivating a collaborative, respectful work environment.
