Job Description

Join a 13-week travel nursing assignment in Tacoma, Washington, supporting inpatient wound care across multiple area facilities. As a wound care nurse, you will manage and coordinate consults, assess and treat approximately 5–15 patients per day, develop wound management recommendations, document care, arrange discharge supplies, and provide education related to prevention, skin and tissue integrity, altered continence, and ongoing wound management. Cases may include ostomies, draining wounds, fistulas, pressure injuries, vascular and diabetic ulcerations, incontinence-related skin conditions, surgical wounds, trauma-related wounds, and wound vacs. You will collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and use a provided phone for photo documentation. This role offers a focused opportunity to put your wound-care detective skills to work without previous travel experience required.

You will receive orientation across the assigned facilities, including preceptor support and documentation education.
