Havasu Regional Medical Center — Lake Havasu City, AZ
Havasu, AZ
Havasu Regional is the main hospital for Arizona's western Colorado River corner — a 171-bed community and regional referral center in Lake Havasu City, where RNs carry a broad medical-surgical, emergency, cardiac, and surgical load far from the nearest larger facility.
A Level III trauma center verified by both the State of Arizona and the American College of Surgeons, with an on-site helipad and an Advanced Life Support base — the most severe cases are stabilized and flown to Phoenix or Las Vegas, so ED and ICU nurses stabilize trauma, cardiac, and critical patients before transfer when needed.

An Arizona Perinatal Trust–certified labor-and-delivery program, plus oncology, wound care, and a skilled-nursing unit for broad generalist exposure.
A regional referral center for Mohave and northern La Paz counties, with 31 specialties and full-time emergency physicians on duty around the clock.

What certifications are required for this ICU travel nurse position?
Every ICU travel nurse position will require Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). If you’re heading to a neuro or stroke unit, you’ll also need NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Certifications like CCRN and PALS can be required in specialized units—and they’re always great to have to open up more opportunities. Simply click "I’m Interested" to connect with a recruiter who can walk you through exactly what’s needed for this role.
What kind of critical care experience is preferred for travel ICU jobs?
Facilities generally look for at least 2 years of recent critical care experience and confidence caring for complex or unstable patients. Experience with ventilators, titratable medications, hemodynamic monitoring, and the specific ICU population may be requested depending on the assignment. Click “I’m Interested” to connect with a recruiter about assignment-specific requirements.
What is the fastest licensing path for this Arizona travel assignment?
An active multistate RN license is the fastest path. Arizona participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so no separate application is needed. For nurses who need a license, standard endorsement applies, and Arizona also runs an emergency temporary-license pathway decided in about 48 hours for applicants with an unencumbered out-of-state license and a qualifying Arizona job offer. Our Arizona Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.
What level of trauma and emergency care do RNs handle at Havasu Regional Medical Center?
Havasu Regional is a Level III trauma center verified by both the American College of Surgeons and the State of Arizona, and an Advanced Life Support base hospital. ED and ICU nurses stabilize trauma, cardiac, and critical patients around the clock; the most severe cases are flown from the on-site helipad to larger centers in Phoenix or Las Vegas.
Which clinical units and specialties will an RN at Havasu Regional Medical Center work across?
As a 171-bed community and regional referral hospital, Havasu Regional runs medical-surgical, ICU, emergency, telemetry/cardiac, surgical, oncology, labor-and-delivery, wound care, and a skilled-nursing unit. Its medical staff spans 31 specialties, so generalist RNs see a broad case mix rather than narrow subspecialty silos.
What cardiac nursing experience does Havasu Regional Medical Center offer?
The hospital is a state-designated Cardiac Receiving Center built around the Havasu Heart & Vascular Center and Arizona's first ACC-accredited cath lab. Cardiac and telemetry nurses see chest-pain, catheterization, and cardiovascular cases, with incoming STEMI patients routed directly to the facility.
What specialized programs draw RNs to Havasu Regional Medical Center?
Havasu Regional holds Joint Commission Center of Excellence recognition for total knee, shoulder, and hip replacement, giving ortho and surgical nurses a defined joint program. Its labor-and-delivery service is certified by the Arizona Perinatal Trust, supporting maternity and mother-baby RNs.
What charting system will an RN use at Havasu Regional Medical Center?
Havasu Regional, part of LifePoint Health, provides a LifePoint patient portal for records access, but the hospital does not publicly name its inpatient clinical charting platform. Because LifePoint runs a mixed-vendor environment across its hospitals, confirm the specific EMR (for example, Oracle Health/Cerner or MEDITECH) with the unit or agency before an assignment.

Explore Havasu, AZ
Lake Havasu City, AZ sits on the Colorado River at the California line, where the winter-visitor season reshapes hospital demand from November through March. Assignments concentrate in emergency departments and medical-surgical units, and the seasonal swing makes winter the strongest stretch for contracts. AZ-95 forms the town's spine, with most rentals, groceries, and the river channel a few minutes off it. Kingman lies about an hour northeast toward I-40, and Parker and Bullhead City are the other river-town stops in either direction. Summer heat is severe, so housing with dependable air conditioning matters more here than in most markets. The London Bridge and the channel beaches sit minutes from nearly any rental in town, though big boating weekends jam the channel-side streets and are worth planning shifts around.
At Advantis Medical Staffing, we take great pride in our commitment to caring for travel nurses. We are dedicated to connecting nurses with the best travel nursing jobs nationwide, while providing exceptional service that fosters a trusted partnership for life. Our mission is to deliver the “Gold Standard” in service—not only by securing your first assignment but by advocating for your long-term career goals and well-being.
