Embark on a rewarding Travel Registered Nurse journey in Med Surg Tele, based in State College, Pennsylvania, where your expertise becomes a catalyst for patient recovery, comfort, and sustainable outcomes. This assignment places you at the center of a dynamic care continuum, coordinating skilled nursing with telemetry insight to support adults navigating medical-surgical pathways, cardiology shifts, post-operative recovery, and complex comorbidity management. You’ll lead patient assessments, implement evidence-based care plans, monitor telemetry, administer medications, and partner with physicians, case managers, and families to ensure safe transitions from hospital to home. Every shift is an opportunity to elevate clinical practice, strengthen communication, and cultivate trust with patients who rely on your expertise during challenging moments. Your work will extend beyond symptom relief to empowering patients with education, promoting resilience, and reinforcing pathways toward wellness.
Separately, Pennsylvania’s landscapes and communities offer a richness beyond the bedside. State College sits at the heart of a region famed for its natural beauty, vibrant college-town energy, and outdoor charm. From scenic trails and parks to cultural events, dining, and lifelong-learning opportunities, you’ll find a balance between professional purpose and weekend exploration. The state’s diverse countryside—from rolling foothills to charming towns—provides easy escapes for hikers, history enthusiasts, and food lovers alike. Whether you’re relishing a sunset at a local overlook or exploring nearby state parks, Pennsylvania invites you to recharge between meaningful shifts and return to your role with renewed focus and compassion.
Location benefits extend beyond the local scene. The facility in State College offers a supportive nursing culture that values teamwork, continuous learning, and clinical autonomy.

For those seeking a broader horizon, there are opportunities to travel to other locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical repertoire while building a versatile resume. Across assignments, you’ll encounter diverse patient populations, varied case mixes, and new interdisciplinary collaborations, all designed to sharpen your diagnostic acumen and broaden your professional lens. The combination of a stable base in Pennsylvania with the flexibility to explore additional locations provides the best of both worlds: predictable, meaningful work in a community you can call home, plus the adrenaline and growth that come with travel nursing.
