PCU Travel Nurse Job in Durango, CO | Nights (3x12)

The main hospital capacity for the San Juan Mountains region sits in Durango, CO, drawing patients from Bayfield, Ignacio, and small communities scattered along the river valleys. That referral spread keeps emergency departments and medical-surgical units in regular need of travel nurses. Housing costs run higher than the surrounding towns, so some RNs base in Bayfield or Hermosa and drive in; winter storms can complicate those commutes. Travelers on nights learn to watch the forecast. The Animas River cuts straight through town with a paved trail along it, and rafting season runs through summer. The narrow gauge railroad departs from downtown, and Mesa Verde National Park sits under an hour west for a full and unhurried day off, quietest in the shoulder seasons.
