Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful and transformative journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Bethel, Alaska. This opportunity invites you to blend clinical expertise with heartfelt compassion, supporting residents who entrust you with their daily comfort, dignity, and well-being. In Bethel, your hands will help ease aging in place, manage chronic conditions, and enrich the quality of life of seniors and adults with long-term care needs. You’ll see firsthand how careful, patient-centered nursing creates moments of relief, connection, and independence. Beyond the care you deliver, you’ll witness a landscape of striking beauty—from the wide, silvery expanse of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta to the Northern Lights dancing across winter skies, to the warm, resilient communities that thrive in Alaska’s vast outdoors. Bethel’s air, water, and wildlife offer a backdrop for a professional chapter that is as rewarding personally as it is professionally. And this role is not limited to one setting: you’ll have opportunities to work across various locations in the U.S., broadening your clinical perspective while maintaining the strong, supportive base you’ll find with our team.
Location Benefits: Bethel is more than a place to work—it’s a gateway to authentic Alaska living. You’ll experience a remote, close-knit community where nurses quickly become trusted anchors for residents and families. The area offers rich cultural traditions, vibrant seasonal activities, and the chance to explore remarkable wilderness and wildlife. Working in Bethel means you’ll be part of a network that values adaptability, resilience, and professional pride. Should you wish to broaden your horizons, our program also provides structured opportunities to rotate through other locations across the United States, expanding your clinical exposure, sharpening your skill set, and connecting you with a national community of LTC professionals. In this role you’ll enjoy the benefits of a reliably scheduled assignment while remaining connected to a larger support system that prioritizes your safety, well-being, and career growth.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you will be tasked with delivering high-quality, consistent care under licensed supervision, focused on improving residents’ daily living and health outcomes. Key responsibilities include gathering assessments, monitoring vital signs, administering prescribed medications and treatments in accordance with state and facility policies, observing for changes in condition, and promptly reporting to the supervising RN or physician. You’ll participate in care planning, assist with activities of daily living, mobility, and rehabilitation activities, and support infection prevention and safety protocols. Documentation in electronic medical records will be meticulous, accurate, and timely, ensuring continuity of care and regulatory compliance. You’ll collaborate with physicians, therapists, and the multidisciplinary team to adjust plans of care as needed, advocate for residents’ comfort and preferences, and provide education to residents and families about medications, self-care strategies, and safety practices.
This position emphasizes professional growth within LTC. You’ll have access to ongoing clinical mentorship, opportunities to expand your scope of practice, and pathways toward leadership roles such as charge nurse or lead LTC coordinator as you gain experience. We actively support continuing education, certifications, and skills expansion that align with your goals. Competitive benefits include a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and potential extension opportunities that let you continue contributing to the same community or explore new ones. You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated team that is available 24/7 to assist you while you travel with the company, ensuring you never navigate challenges alone. From onboarding and orientation to ongoing payroll, scheduling, and clinical support, our infrastructure is designed to let you focus on patient care and professional development. The assignment offers a structured yet flexible framework with guaranteed hours, providing stability alongside the chance to grow your career within a compassionate, patient-centered LTC environment.
Compensation and schedule are designed to attract and retain skilled professionals who share our values. You’ll be paid weekly, with a competitive range of $1,504 to $1,551 per week, and guaranteed 40 hours per week, reflecting the commitment to reliable income during the assignment. The start date for this opportunity is 01/06/2026, with the duration described in weeks and the possibility of extensions based on performance, facility needs, and mutual interest. Please note that while these figures are representative, final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
