Med/Surg RN — Travel Contract | Fort Morgan, CO

This 13-week travel contract places you in a rural acute care Med/Surg unit on 12-hour nights (7:00 PM – 7:00 AM), with a projected start date of November 16, 2026.

The Unit

The Med/Surg unit manages a general acute care patient population with common diagnoses including CHF, hypertension, chest pain work-ups, COPD exacerbations, asthma, ia, pancreatitis, bowel obstructions, gastrointestinal bleeding, and acute renal failure. RNs titrate drips including analgesics, anticoagulants, and antihypertensives.
