Travel Registered Nurse ICU Job

Step into a high-impact ICU RN role that blends clinical excellence with the freedom and variety of travel nursing. This demanding, deeply rewarding opportunity places you in Arizona’s vibrant Glendale area, delivering critical care to seriously ill patients while you explore the state’s stunning landscapes and sunny culture. Picture evenings under desert skies, quick weekend getaways to red rock formations, and the chance to make a measurable difference in people’s lives. If you crave professional growth, diverse clinical challenges, and a supportive network, this Travel ICU RN position is designed for you. Start date is January 5, 2026, with contracts available for weeks at a time and the option to extend. Weekly pay ranges from $2,000 to $2,127, with guaranteed hours of 24 each week, ensuring you a dependable income as you advance your career.

Location benefits go beyond the bedside. Glendale sits within easy reach of the Phoenix metro area, offering a warm climate, dynamic dining and cultural scenes, and abundant outdoor recreation. From hiking and biking to golf and festival happenings, you can balance demanding shifts with restorative downtime. The U.S. travel component of this opportunity means the chance to work in different facilities across the country, expanding your clinical exposure, network, and resume—while still having a consistent base of Glendale-based assignments when you choose to return. And because travel nurses often gain access to a broader perspective on care delivery, you’ll witness varied patient populations, protocols, and interdisciplinary collaboration that sharpen your ICU acumen.

Role specifics and benefits are built around your expertise and aspirations. As a Travel ICU RN, you’ll lead and participate in comprehensive patient assessments, manage ventilator support and weaning, titrate vasoactive and inotropic infusions, monitor hemodynamics, and perform daily rounding with critical-care teams. You’ll implement ARDS protocols, sedation and analgesia plans, delirium management, infection control measures, and complex wound and mobility protocols, all while ensuring meticulous documentation and adherence to evidence-based practice. You’ll mentor less-experienced staff, collaborate with respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and physicians, and champion family-centered communication to reduce distress and improve outcomes. This role emphasizes professional growth: ongoing skill refinement, opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, and clear pathways toward leadership or educator-type roles as you demonstrate reliability, judgment, and compassionate leadership. You’ll receive a competitive package that includes a signing bonus, housing assistance, and meaningful extension opportunities so you can plan long-term while enjoying the flexibility of travel. In addition, you’ll have 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team and clinical liaison—ensuring you’re never navigating a challenging day alone while you’re on assignment. Your guaranteed minimum of 24 hours per week provides stability as you strive for clinical mastery and career advancement.

Company values are thoughtfully aligned with your professional journey. The organization is deeply committed to empowering staff, recognizing that growth and well-being go hand in hand. Expect an environment rooted in collaboration, respect, and open channels for mentorship and feedback. Your expertise will be valued, and your career trajectory will be supported with resources, training, and opportunities to broaden your scope—whether through rigorous specialty certifications, leadership tracks, or cross-unit experiences that keep you engaged and challenged.
