Travel Licensed Practical Nurse Long-Term Care Job
Petoskey, MI
Contracted
The Villa at the Bay
Mid Level
Are you a Licensed Practical Nurse ready to make a lasting difference in Long-Term Care? This is your opportunity to join a compassionate, patient‑focused team where your hands-on expertise, empathy, and vigilance keep residents safe, comfortable, and thriving. Beginning January 20, 2026, you can start a weeks‑long assignment in Petoskey, Michigan, with guaranteed hours and competitive weekly pay in the range of 1,326 to 1,370. This role is crafted for skilled LPNs who value collaborative care, professional growth, and a supportive work culture that recognizes your contributions from day one.
Nestled along Michigan’s scenic shores, Petoskey offers a unique blend of small‑town warmth and access to stunning natural beauty. From the sparkling waters of Lake Michigan to the tranquil trails winding through state parks, the area invites outdoor exploration in every season. Working here means enjoying clean air, a welcoming community, and plenty of opportunities to unwind after meaningful shifts. And for those who relish variety, our program also includes opportunities to work in select locations across the U.S., allowing you to broaden your clinical experiences while still benefiting from the beauty and lifestyle Michigan has to offer when you’re home.
Role specifics and benefits come together to create a compelling nursing opportunity. In Long-Term Care settings, you’ll perform essential, frontline nursing duties under the supervision of an RN and alongside an interdisciplinary team dedicated to resident well‑being. Your responsibilities include assessing residents, delivering direct patient care, administering medications, monitoring vital signs, documenting accurately, and contributing to care plans that emphasize comfort, safety, and dignity. You’ll support wound care, basic rehabilitative activities, and daily living needs, always prioritizing infection control, safety protocols, and evidence‑based practices. The position holds the potential for professional growth through expanded responsibilities, mentorship, and ongoing education that align with licensure and clinical interests. In addition to core duties, you’ll help promote continuity of care, advocate for residents’ preferences, and participate in family communications to ensure transparent, compassionate care.
This opportunity comes with a robust package designed to support you throughout your contract. A competitive sign‑on bonus acknowledges your expertise and commitment. Housing assistance helps ease relocation or temporary housing needs, letting you focus on clinical excellence rather than logistics. The contract offers extension opportunities, so your skills can continue to positively influence residents’ lives beyond the initial weeks. You’ll receive guaranteed hours—specifically, 36 hours per week—and a predictable schedule that supports work‑life balance. Importantly, you’ll have access to comprehensive travel support and 24/7 assistance from our dedicated team, ensuring you’re never navigating a shift or a location alone. We also emphasize continuing education and professional development, with resources and guidance to help you advance within the LTC specialty.
Our company values your dedication and recognizes the impact of durable, empowering workplaces. We are committed to fostering an environment where your clinical expertise is respected, your voice is heard, and your career can grow at a pace that meets your aspirations. Promoting autonomy within a collaborative framework, we provide structured mentorship, timely feedback, and opportunities to lead quality improvement initiatives that enhance resident care and team dynamics. Your well‑being matters to us as much as the residents you serve, and you’ll experience a culture that supports balance, respect, and professional fulfillment.
If you’re ready to bring your nursing expertise to Long‑Term Care in Petoskey and across our broader network, we invite you to apply. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to shape the daily lives of residents, build lasting professional relationships, and grow within a company that values your skills and ambitions.
