This job listing is for a Travel Critical Care Unit (CCU) Registered Nurse (RN) position based in Worcester, Massachusetts. This is a 13-week contract travel role with a start date in late July 2026. The candidate is expected to work 36 hours per week, specifically three 12-hour night shifts, providing critical care float services. The role demands a nurse who is proficient in handling high-acuity patients within the Critical Care Unit setting, with responsibilities spanning from patient assessment to care coordination and evaluation.

The Travel CCU RN plays a pivotal role in ensuring excellent patient outcomes by applying the nursing process — assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating — to deliver superior care. The RN is responsible not only for direct patient care but also for supervising ancillary and professional staff. They collaborate closely with the interdisciplinary healthcare team to design and implement individualized patient education and care plans tailored towards health maintenance and restoration post-discharge. The position also emphasizes maintaining professionalism, developing leadership skills, and engaging in continuous professional growth.

Focus Staff offers a rewarding package for this travel position, including weekly direct deposits, housing stipends, 401(k) with matching contributions, and bonuses for loyalty and referrals.

Additional perks encompass licensure reimbursement, exclusive hotel discounts, and even pet insurance to support a well-rounded lifestyle during assignments. Recruiters and clinical support teams are available around the clock to ensure seamless assignment experiences.

For experienced nurses with a minimum of two years of acute care exposure, particularly in critical care settings, this assignment is ideal for those seeking to broaden their professional horizons while enjoying the flexibility and excitement of travel nursing. The role requires current state licensure, recent critical care experience, and credentials such as the AHA ACLS provider certification. Preference is given to those holding CCRN certification and experience with ICU, ER, or surgical medical patients. Candidates must possess at least an Associate's degree in Nursing, though a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is strongly preferred.
