This is my current list of “hot” PCU travel nurse jobs, chosen because they check the boxes I know matter most: strong pay, great facilities, or a quick interview process. I update this regularly so you can see at a glance what’s worth applying to right now.
Quick Overview
Strong demand nationwide for PCU and stepdown nurses entering the new year, with most contracts offering solid $2,000+ weekly pay.
January starts are filling quickly, but late-December options remain viable for travelers wanting to secure a position before the new year.
Western states continue to dominate with higher pay packages, especially in Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington.
