Travel Registered Nurse ER Job

Step into the fast-paced world of Emergency Room nursing with a purpose-driven travel assignment in Fort Defiance, Arizona. As an ER Registered Nurse, you will deliver urgent, high-quality care to diverse patients, guiding families through critical moments and influencing outcomes. Begin January 7, 2026, on a contract that offers 36 guaranteed hours per week, with weekly pay ranging from $2,650 to $2,786, and opportunities to extend based on performance and unit needs. This is your chance to shape care delivery in a setting that blends clinical excellence with the beauty of the Southwest. You’ll join a team that values precision, empathy, and speed—an environment where your expertise is respected and your voice matters, every shift.

Fort Defiance sits in the sun-soaked high desert of northeastern Arizona, a place where dramatic red rock landscapes meet deep cultural heritage and a vibrant, welcoming community. Working here offers a dynamic mix of urgent ED action and thoughtful, patient-centered care in a small-town setting with access to larger urban resources when needed. The surrounding region invites weekend explorations—from canyon views and timeless mesas to trails through desert flora and vivid sunrises. For those seeking broader horizons, this role also opens pathways to work across various locations in the U.S., expanding your professional repertoire while you discover new communities, climates, and clinical challenges. You’ll enjoy the balance of meaningful rural-urban access, meaningful patient connections, and the chance to recharge in nature’s awe-inspiring playgrounds on downtime.

Role specifics and benefits are designed to elevate your practice and your lifestyle. As the ER RN, you will assess and triage acutely ill or injured patients, initiate life-saving interventions, administer medications, monitor vital signs, and coordinate with physicians, PAs, and support staff to stabilize patients efficiently. You’ll perform rapid assessments, assist with procedures, manage crowd control and high-acuity situations, document thoroughly, and educate patients and families about care plans and post-discharge steps. The position offers a clear pathway for professional growth within emergency care—opportunities to expand your critical care skills, participate in on-site training, and develop leadership competencies as you demonstrate clinical excellence. In addition to competitive compensation, you’ll benefit from:

- A signing bonus and robust housing assistance to ease relocation and onboarding
- Flexible extension opportunities to align with your career goals and unit needs
- A comprehensive orientation and credentialing support to get you seamlessly integrated
- 24/7 dedicated support from a travel-healthcare partner while you’re on assignment
- 24/7 clinical and logistical assistance, ensuring you have real-time help when you need it
- Access to interdisciplinary collaboration, evidence-based practice, and continued education

The company’s commitment to you extends beyond the shift. You’ll be part of a values-driven culture that prioritizes empowering its staff, accelerating career advancement, and maintaining a supportive work environment. Expect mentorship from seasoned ER leaders, constructive feedback loops, and recognition for your contributions—designed to help you grow as a clinician, leader, and professional within a trusted network.

Living and working with us means you’re supported every step of the way. The program emphasizes not only clinical readiness but also personal well-being, with resources to help you maintain balance, manage stress, and thrive in a travel role. You’ll experience a community that respects your expertise and invests in your development, while offering the stability of guaranteed hours and a predictable weekly pay range. The experience is as much about what you learn as the lives you touch—your impact in Fort Defiance resonates beyond the ED walls, contributing to healthier communities and inspired teammates.

If you’re an ER RN who thrives under pressure, values teamwork, and seeks a blend of meaningful clinical work with the adventure of travel, this is your invitation. Apply now to join a company that honors your clinical skill, respects your time, and champions your professional journey. Embark on a role that challenges you, supports your growth, and reconnects you with what drew you to nursing in the first place—the chance to make a lasting difference while exploring new places and possibilities.
