Wayward Medical
3x12 hrs, Days
Relocation Bonus

There are a lot of travel nursing agencies.

Most of them can submit you to a job.

The difference is what happens after you click apply.

At Wayward Medical Staffing, you get one point of contact, straight answers, permission before submission, and real check ins that are not just disguised extension calls.

We do the boring stuff well.

We answer fast.

We tell the truth.

We get your permission before putting your name in front of a facility.

And when something gets weird on assignment, we pick up the phone.

We’re not a billion-dollar staffing machine with five departments and four handoffs before someone learns your name.

We’re a Mom and Pop shop who puts relationships first. We’re built for travelers who want to be treated like humans, not chart numbers.

That means we stay with you through the full assignment, help you navigate the messy parts, and start thinking about your next contract before this one ends.

Our rule is simple:

No one gets burned.

If you want an agency that communicates clearly, follows through, and actually sticks around after you start, apply with Wayward.

We’ll walk you through the details and help you decide if this assignment is the right fit.

Critical Access RN — LTC Heavy / Occasional ER & Med-Surg

Granite County Medical Center | Philipsburg, Montana

Granite County Medical Center is a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital in a small Montana town of about 800 people.

This is not a straight ER assignment.

This is also not an ER-heavy assignment.

This is a true rural Critical Access nursing role where the majority of your time will be spent caring for LTC residents, with occasional support in Med-Surg and a low-volume stabilize-and-transfer ER when needed.

The ER side of this role is very low volume. When ER cases come in, the goal is usually to assess, stabilize, and transfer the patient to a higher level of care if needed. This is not a busy trauma ER or a high-acuity emergency department assignment.

Most days, this role is much more about consistent, thoughtful bedside care.

You may be passing meds, helping with turns and baths, ambulating residents, assisting with therapies, supporting Med/Surg patients, responding to occasional ER needs, and helping wherever the team needs you.

This assignment can be quiet at times. But for the right nurse, that is exactly what makes it rewarding.

This is the kind of facility where you actually have the time and energy to go above and beyond. You are not constantly behind. You are not choosing which important patient care task has to get skipped. You are not being set up to fail.

Here, you have the freedom to do nursing the way you wish you could do it everywhere else.

You can make sure turns and baths are done. You can give meds on time. You can complete ambulation and therapies. You can support your coworkers. You can get to know your patients and residents. You can leave your shift knowing the basics were done right.

This is a great fit for a nurse who enjoys LTC, rural healthcare, small teams, and slower-paced environments where quality of care really matters.

This may be a good fit if you:

Have LTC, Med/Surg, Critical Access, or rural hospital experience
Are comfortable with LTC being the main part of the assignment
Can help with occasional ER and Med/Surg needs when they come up
Understand rural ER is usually stabilize-and-transfer, not high-volume trauma
Take pride in doing the basics extremely well
Enjoy small-town healthcare and being part of a close team
Want an assignment where you have time to truly care for people

This is probably not the right fit if you:

Only want straight ER
Are looking for a busy emergency department
Do not want to work with LTC residents
Do not want to float between LTC, Med/Surg, and ER when needed
Need constant adrenaline, high volume, or high-acuity ER cases
Prefer a large hospital with lots of specialty support

Granite County Medical Center is a small rural facility where everyone helps, everyone matters, and the right nurse can make a real impact.

If you are looking for a true Critical Access role with a heavy LTC focus and occasional ER/Med-Surg coverage, this could be a great fit.
