Job Description Job Description Embark on a transformative ICU nursing journey in Chico, California, where expert care meets a captivating community that values compassion, precision, and teamwork. As an experienced Registered Nurse specializing in critical care, you have the power to impact lives in moments that matter most. This multi-week travel opportunity begins February 5, 2026, with a guaranteed baseline of 36 hours per week, and stretches across a dynamic assignment designed to challenge your clinical acumen while expanding your professional horizons. Your expertise will guide high-acuity patients through complex trajectories, from invasive monitoring and ventilator management to rapid response updates and family-centered communication. In this role, you’ll collaborate with skilled physicians, therapists, and unit coordinators to uphold evidence-based practices, ensure patient safety, and deliver care that reflects the highest standards of ICU excellence. If you’re driven by learning, innovation, and the satisfaction of guiding patients toward stability and recovery, this position offers the ideal arena to apply your knowledge and grow. Chico, nestled in Northern California’s Sierra foothills, offers more than a rewarding clinical experience. The region celebrates a vibrant arts scene, welcoming neighborhoods, and easy access to outdoor adventures. Picture mornings spent strolling through charming downtown streets, afternoons along Bidwell Park trails, and weekends exploring nearby lakes, waterfalls, or the foothills’ scenic overlooks. California’s diverse landscape also means you can share in seasonal experiences—from colorful harvests and farmers’ markets to nearby wine country excursions and scenic drives along winding backroads. In this assignment, you’ll have the opportunity to practice in Chico, while the broader program opens the door to settings across the United States, allowing you to experience a spectrum of hospital cultures, patient populations, and clinical protocols. This flexibility enhances your adaptability, broadens your clinical perspective, and enriches your professional portfolio. In this ICU role, you’ll lead and support critical care delivery with confidence. Core responsibilities include comprehensive patient assessment, centralized hemodynamic monitoring, ventilator management, titration of vasoactive medications, rapid response and code blue participation, and meticulous documentation. You’ll oversee complex care plans, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, and mentor junior nurses and techs while maintaining meticulous patient safety standards. The position emphasizes advancement within critical care—guiding you toward specialty certifications, leadership opportunities, and ongoing clinical education. You’ll have access to targeted skill-building experiences, simulation scenarios, and structured debriefings that strengthen your clinical judgment, promote evidence-based decision-making, and empower you to influence positive patient outcomes. The role also supports professional growth through advancement tracks, opportunities to lead quality improvement initiatives, and pathways to broader critical care responsibilities as you demonstrate proficiency. In addition to clinical duties, you’ll benefit from a comprehensive package designed to recognize your commitment: a competitive compensation range, a sign-on bonus, and housing assistance to ease relocation logistics. We value longevity and consistency, so we offer extension opportunities that reflect your performance, unit needs, and your preferred timing. Across our organization, you’ll find a culture that honors and empowers healthcare professionals. We invest in our travelers by providing robust 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team, ensuring you’re never alone on the road.
