How you make a difference

The RN Travel supports patient care delivery through assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation under the supervision of Charge Nurses. This role involves administering medications, assisting in diagnostic tests, documenting care, and supporting surgical procedures as needed. The nurse ensures compliance with safety protocols, medication handling, and clinical documentation standards. They participate in care planning, emergency response, and interdisciplinary communication. The role requires 100% travel to various locations to fulfill staffing needs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver patient care and treatment plans under supervision of Charge Nurse
  • Administer medications, perform EKGs, and assist with procedures
  • Maintain accurate documentation in SOAP format and review medical records
  • Respond to emergencies and ensure safety and infection control protocols
  • Travel full-time to different healthcare facilities as staffing needs require
Additional Details

Travel RN opportunities with Wellpath are primarily based in California, with current needs at sites such as Shasta, Placer, San Luis Obispo, and Fresno.

Overall, this role is best suited for nurses who are adaptable, team-oriented, and comfortable stepping into diverse correctional environments to support patient care where it's needed most.
