Job Description Job Description Step into a purpose-driven travel nursing opportunity as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg, Lawton, Oklahoma, beginning 03/09/2026. This assignment offers you more than a job—you’ll play a pivotal role in patient recovery, comfort, and discharge readiness while you experience the rich character of Oklahoma’s communities. In Lawton you’ll find a welcoming, family-friendly backdrop, where everyday moments become meaningful as you support patients through skilled clinical care, education, and compassionate presence. And beyond the hospital walls, Oklahoma reveals its own beauty: watch vibrant sunsets over rolling prairies, explore the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, unwind by Lake Lawtonka, and discover Turner Falls or the Museum of the Great Plains—places that refresh the spirit after a rewarding day at the bedside. Location benefits extend far beyond the clinical walls. Lawton offers an ideal blend of small-town charm and modern conveniences, with affordable living options, safe neighborhoods, and a strong sense of community. The city serves as a gateway to outdoor adventures and weekend explorations, while also providing access to larger urban experiences within a reasonable drive. For those seeking variety, this role can be part of a broader program that offers assignments in multiple locations across the United States, delivering the unique advantages of diverse clinical settings, populations, and practice environments. You’ll gain exposure to varied case mixes, evidence-based protocols, and interdisciplinary collaboration that sharpen skills and broaden professional perspectives, all while enjoying a supportive network that values your well-being and growth. In Med Surg, your day-to-day responsibilities will center on delivering high-quality, patient-centered care while you navigate the complexities of acute medical-surgical patients. You will perform comprehensive assessments, monitor vitals, manage IV therapies and medication administration, and respond to changes in patient status with clinical judgment and swift escalation when needed. Wound and ostomy care, plan-of-care development, and collaboration with physicians, pharmacists, physical therapy, and social work will be essential components. You’ll lead discharge planning discussions, provide patient and family education on post-hospital care, and contribute to care coordination that reduces readmissions. The role also offers opportunities for professional growth within the Med Surg specialty, including leadership through mentoring new staff, participating in unit-based quality improvement projects, and expanding your scope with ongoing certifications and training. The position invites you to deepen your clinical expertise and contribute to higher standards of patient outcomes, with a clear path to extended assignments and potential role progression within the program. The package is designed to be competitive and supportive. Expect weekly pay in the range of $1,654 to $1,660, reflecting the value you bring to a fast-paced Med Surg team. You’ll have access to a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to ease transition, and the possibility of extension opportunities that align with your career plans. Our model emphasizes comprehensive support: 24/7 assistance for traveling clinicians, a dedicated support team ready to help with housing, logistics, credentialing, and any on-the-spot needs that arise during an assignment. You’ll work with modern facilities and integrated EHR systems, backed by a culture that prioritizes safety, teamwork, and professional development. Your growth is supported through educational resources, mentorship, and structured pathways to advance within the specialty and across clinical disciplines. Company values center on empowering staff to thrive—cultivating a culture where your voice matters, your competence is expanded through ongoing learning, and your dedication is acknowledged. We believe in a supportive environment that fosters collaboration, respects work-life balance, and recognizes clinical excellence.
