Medical Surgical RN

SUMMARY:

* Job Title: Medical Surgical RN
* Profession: Registered Nurse
* Specialty: RN - Medical Surgical
* Job Type: Contract / Travel
* Location: Murphysboro, IL
* Start Date: Jul 27, 2026
* Duration: 13 weeks
* Shift: Nights
* Rate: $1,497/36 hours

REQUIREMENTS:

* 2+ years of experience

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

* This is a Medsurg Unit that is blended. We have a thriving Swing Bed Program and also occasionally care for patients who are a PCU level of care. We balance our assignments based on the Nursing workload and the level of care of the patients. The ratios are 1:5 Medsurg. 1:5-6 for Swing Bed. 1:3-4 for PCU, based on if the patient is on a drip. (If the Nurse is only Medsurg by background, no problem, the Supervisors do a fantastic job with assignments.)
* The shift is 7 PM to 7 AM, with every other holiday and every other weekend. There is no on- call.
* We have a super engaged team who help to lead several committees on the unit. Of mention as well, St Joseph Memorial Hospital is a Pathways to Excellence designated facility through the ANCC, which I think speaks volumes when it comes to safety, quality care, a positive environment, and shared decision making!
