Mid Level
Step into a fulfilling role as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) specializing in Long-Term Care in Lincoln, Nebraska, where every day offers a chance to touch lives with dignity, compassion, and expert hands. In this role you’ll partner with a caring interdisciplinary team to deliver patient-centered care that supports residents in maintaining independence, comfort, and safety. You’ll build meaningful connections with residents and families, guiding them through routines, transitions, and goals with empathy and professionalism. This is more than a job—it’s a dedicated vocation where your clinical skill meets the everyday realities of long-term care, shaping brighter days for seniors who deserve respect, autonomy, and warmth. Nebraska’s vast landscapes invite you to pause and reflect between shifts, with the state’s rich prairie sunsets, rolling plains, and friendly towns offering respite and inspiration. Lincoln itself blends a lively urban scene with a close-knit community feel, while the broader state showcases natural beauty from the Platte River trails to the Sandhills, inviting weekend adventures and restorative downtime between rewarding assignments.
Location benefits extend beyond Lincoln’s welcoming streets. You’ll experience a supportive, affordable lifestyle in a city known for its strong healthcare community, educational opportunities, and cultural offerings—from museums and theaters to parks and riverfront strolls. The region’s family-friendly atmosphere, low cost of living, and abundant outdoor spaces provide balance as you deliver high-quality care during demanding shifts. For nurses who crave variety, there’s also the potential to accept assignments across different locations in the U.S., experienced through an established travel program designed to broaden your clinical perspective while keeping you grounded in a consistent, supportive framework. Whether you’re drawn to quiet rural facilities or bustling urban settings, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in diverse care environments, expanding your skills and professional network while maintaining continuity of care for residents.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for essential LPN duties within long-term care settings, including comprehensive patient assessments, medication administration under supervision, and the timely implementation of individualized care plans. You’ll monitor vitals, oversee wound care, manage chronic conditions, assist with activities of daily living, and implement fall prevention strategies to protect residents’ safety. Clear, compassionate communication with patients, families, and the broader care team will be critical as you document progress, adjust plans, and support transitions of care. You’ll have opportunities for professional growth—from pursuing specialty trainings in geriatric care and palliative support to taking on mentoring roles for new team members. The position comes with competitive benefits and tangible supports: a weekly pay range of $1,458-$1,573, guaranteed hours of 36 per week, housing assistance, and the possibility of contract extension to continue your impact. The program also offers 24/7 support for traveling staff, ensuring you have reliable guidance and resources no matter where you’re assigned. With a start date of 03/31/2026 and a commitment described in weeks, you’ll find a practical rhythm that respects your personal life while delivering meaningful clinical outcomes. Flexible scheduling, onboarding that honors your experience, and access to educational resources are designed to help you refine your practice and advance within long-term care.
Our company values your dedication and believes in empowering every caregiver to grow within their career. You’ll join a community that prioritizes a supportive work environment, ongoing learning opportunities, and clear pathways to advancement. We emphasize mentorship, peer collaboration, and recognition of clinical excellence, ensuring you feel valued whether you’re leading a care conference, coordinating with family members, or refining care plans with physicians and therapists. The culture honors balance, integrity, and compassion as foundational elements of clinical excellence, and it actively supports staff through comprehensive onboarding, continuing education stipends, and opportunities to expand responsibilities as you demonstrate leadership and clinical proficiency. You’ll be surrounded by teammates who share your commitment to resident dignity and who cheer each other on as you navigate shifts, challenges, and triumphs together.
Ready to apply? This is your chance to join a respected organization that respects your expertise, offers robust support, and fosters your professional development in Long-Term Care.
