Travel Ped and PICU Nursing Jobs with Ventura MedStaff Your Journey Toward Fulfilling Travel Pediatric and PICU Nurse Jobs

Become a Travel Ped or PICU Nurse

Finding the right pediatric travel nursing assignment can be challenging. You may have the clinical experience, compassion, and dedication needed to care for children with complex medical needs, but navigating available positions, facility requirements, licensing, pay packages, and travel details can quickly become overwhelming. Ventura MedStaff helps pediatric and PICU nurses move forward with confidence by connecting them with travel nursing opportunities at healthcare facilities nationwide.

As a pediatric nurse, your work directly impacts children and families during some of their most important moments. Pediatric nurses provide specialized care that considers a child’s development, comfort, and unique medical needs. PICU nurses take on even greater challenges, caring for critically ill patients who require advanced monitoring, intensive treatments, and specialized interventions. Ventura MedStaff recognizes the skill and dedication required in pediatric care and helps place experienced clinicians where they are needed most.

Pediatric units and PICUs care for children who may be recovering from surgery, illness, injury, or serious ongoing conditions. These young patients often need closer monitoring and more specialized attention than a general floor provides. That reality makes ped nurse and PICU nurse roles both vital and deeply rewarding.

With Ventura MedStaff, healthcare professionals can pursue pediatric travel nursing jobs in a wide range of locations and care environments. Our recruiters help you understand open assignments, facility needs, licensing requirements, pay specifics, and onboarding steps before you commit.

What Our Travelers Say About Us

“I traveled with Ventura MedStaff for the better part of 2022 and I just wanted to recognize Sarah Hug as being an awesome recruiter. I was a brand-new traveler with lots of questions and anxieties, and she saw me through it all. During the past year, she’s been very responsive, approachable, and dedicated to getting me where I wanted to be. I’m very grateful to have had her by my side during my first year as a traveling OT.”

Noelle

Travel Occupational Therapist

“My experience with Ventura has been extremely positive thus far! Coming to them at a turbulent time in my career after working with another travel company, wanting out of an assignment that was not working for me at all. My recruiter Matt was empathetic, supportive, and quick to act on finding me a new placement that was a better fit. I can’t say enough great things about this company and the experiences I’ve had with them so far. I have already told all my PT friends and one of them can’t wait to do an assignment with them! I can’t wait to continue working for Ventura in my next 13-week contract that I just extended!”

"I recently embarked on a healthcare travel assignment facilitated by Cara Small with Ventura Medstaff Agency, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From seamless on-boarding to personalized support throughout my journey, Cara and her team went above and beyond. Cara not only matched me with a fantastic placement but also ensured all my needs were met throughout the entire 19 week assignment. The attention to detail and constant communication made me feel valued and supported. I highly recommend Cara Small and the Ventura Medstaff Agency to fellow healthcare professionals seeking a positive and rewarding adventure."
