Job Description
Step into the role of a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in CVICU in Saint Louis, Missouri, and seize a rare chance to impact patients facing complex cardiovascular challenges while embracing a dynamic, nationwide nursing pathway. This opportunity puts you at the heart of high-stakes cardiac care where your precision, leadership, and clinical judgment can alter outcomes just as decisively as your presence offers comfort to families. Start on or around 01/26/2026 for weeks of immersive, hands-on practice that sharpens your critical care acumen and expands your professional network. Beyond the bedside, Missouri’s beauty awaits—gateway views of the Mississippi, scenic byways, the iconic Gateway Arch, lush state parks, and cultural treasures that invite you to recharge after demanding shifts.
Location Benefits: Saint Louis blends exceptional healthcare resources with a welcoming, diverse community. You’ll practice in a city renowned for cardiac centers that collaborate across disciplines, supported by robust education, research, and access to modern equipment. The region offers a balanced lifestyle with affordable living options, family-friendly neighborhoods, and a thriving arts and dining scene that makes downtime restorative rather than routine. For travelers who want variety, our program also opens the door to assignments in locations across the United States, enriching your CVICU experience with exposure to different hospital cultures, patient populations, and leadership styles while keeping your core clinical focus intact. In Saint Louis, you’ll find convenient amenities, strong professional networks, and opportunities to grow your specialty competencies—whether you’re refining post-operative care, optimizing hemodynamic management, or coordinating with multidisciplinary teams during high-acuity events.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In CVICU, you’ll lead care for adults with complex cardiovascular conditions, including post-operative heart surgery patients, valve and vascular procedures, and critical post-operative stabilization. You’ll monitor invasive pressures, manage vasoactive drips, support ventilated patients, and participate in rapid response to evolving conditions, all while guiding less experienced staff and ensuring adherence to evidence-based protocols. The position emphasizes professional growth through diverse case mixes, mentorship, and opportunities to advance into leadership or specialty certification tracks. The compensation package reflects your expertise, with a competitive weekly pay range of $2,007 to $2,101. Start date is targeted for late January, with weeks-long assignments designed to align clinical challenge with personal goals. We provide housing assistance to ease the logistics of travel nursing and offer extension opportunities to promote continuity and career momentum. In addition to clinical support, you’ll have 24/7 access to a dedicated travel support team, ready to assist with licensure, travel logistics, credentialing, and any on-site needs, ensuring you can focus on patient care with confidence. The program emphasizes safety, consistency, and professional development, empowering you to broaden your CVICU skill set while maintaining balance with your personal life.
Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering nurses to grow, lead, and thrive. We foster an environment of open communication, continuous learning, and collaborative teamwork where your clinical judgment is valued and your wellbeing is prioritized. From onboarding through ongoing education and mentorship, we invest in your career trajectory and provide access to mobility across the country, enabling you to pursue certifications, leadership roles, and diverse CVICU experiences. We celebrate diverse backgrounds, champion work-life integration, and maintain transparent feedback and fair scheduling practices so you feel supported while pushing the boundaries of cardiovascular care.
Call to Action: If you’re ready to elevate your CVICU practice, work with a team that respects your expertise, and explore new places while advancing professionally, apply today. This is your chance to contribute meaningfully, grow your skill set, and join a company that values your impact on patients and your development as a nurse.
