Job Description Job Description Step into a demanding yet profoundly rewarding role as a Registered Nurse in the Stepdown specialty in Saint Louis, Missouri. This is your invitation to elevate patient care on the front lines of transitional units, where high-acuity patients regain stability under your watchful guidance. As a key member of a collaborative team, you’ll assess evolving conditions, interpret complex telemetry, titrate therapies, and implement careful care plans that bridge ICU precision with floor-level rehabilitation. You’ll mentor less experienced staff, advocate for patient and family education, and champion safety standards that reduce risk and accelerate recovery. This travel assignment empowers you to make a tangible difference in diverse hospital settings while expanding your clinical repertoire. And when you’re off shift, Missouri’s varied landscapes offer easy escapes—from the iconic arch and vibrant riverfront to forests, caves, and lake country that invite weekend exploration. The combination of meaningful work and memorable surroundings makes this assignment uniquely rewarding. Start date March 23, 2026, marks the beginning of a journey that blends clinical excellence with personal discovery. Packages are designed around a flexible duration, with weekly earnings reflecting professional expertise and patient needs. While the arrangement is week-based, you’ll gain exposure to multiple facilities, expanding your scope and resilience as a Stepdown RN. Location benefits: Saint Louis sits at the convergence of tradition and modern energy, offering a dynamic urban experience alongside a welcoming Midwestern charm. You’ll thrive in a city renowned for its museums, music scene, sports, and a diverse culinary landscape, while easy regional travel opens doors to other Missouri communities and, occasionally, cross-state opportunities for broader clinical exposure. Traveling in and around Missouri, you’ll encounter a range of hospital cultures, patient populations, and care models that sharpen clinical judgment and leadership. Beyond work, the state’s natural beauty beckons—from the scenic riverfront to parks and trails that invite exploration after shifts. For those who enjoy larger-scale opportunities, there’s the potential to work at additional facilities across the U.S., enriching your professional network and experience while maintaining the support of a nationwide travel program that prioritizes your safety and growth. Expect ongoing access to 24/7 support from your dedicated travel team, ready to assist with housing, scheduling, or clinical onboarding wherever you’re assigned. Role specifics and benefits: In this Stepdown RN role, you’ll provide vigilant telemetry monitoring, hemodynamic assessment, and timely interventions for patients transitioning from critical to acute care. You’ll manage ventilator and weaning considerations as appropriate, administer medications with precision, and respond rapidly to clinical changes in collaboration with physicians, critical care peers, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and case managers. You’ll lead rapid problem-solving during rounds, refine care plans based on evolving data, and ensure accurate, compliant documentation in the medical record. The position offers meaningful pathways for professional growth: assume charge nurse responsibilities, mentor new travelers, pursue specialty certifications, or advance into leadership roles as you build your portfolio of competencies. To support your journey, the program provides a competitive weekly pay range of $2,101–$2,199, a sign-on bonus where applicable, and comprehensive housing assistance or stipends. You’ll also enjoy contract extensions with favorable renewal terms, enabling continuity with teams you know and trust. The program emphasizes security and connectivity through 24/7 support, including travel concierge services, onboarding assistance, and continuous clinical resources to ensure you feel supported from day one through every assignment.
