Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift brings the chance to restore comfort, preserve dignity, and strengthen the well-being of seniors. This travel opportunity is designed for compassionate LPNs who want to make an impact across diverse care settings while discovering the beauty and history of New York’s Upstate communities. Start your assignment on 03/31/2026, with a flexible duration measured in weeks and the potential to extend as you demonstrate your skill, empathy, and leadership on the floor. While you’ll be serving in Waterloo and nearby areas, there’s also the exciting possibility to work at locations across the United States, enriching your experience and expanding your professional network. This role is more than a contract—it’s a chance to grow, connect, and shape the standard of geriatric care.

Location Benefits: Waterloo, New York, sits in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, where rolling landscapes, lakeside strolls, and charming historic districts blend with modern healthcare facilities. You’ll experience a welcoming community that values its seniors and supports a high standard of care. Beyond Waterloo, this travel program offers opportunities to practice in a variety of settings across New York state and across the U.S., exposing you to different patient demographics, regulatory environments, and clinical challenges. From tranquil suburban facilities to busy urban-adjacent campuses, you’ll build resilience and adaptability while enjoying the unique culture, cuisine, and outdoor beauty that each location offers. Expect manageable commutes, access to local amenities, and the chance to explore famous scenic areas, wineries, and cultural experiences during off days. Our program emphasizes work‑life balance and the chance to immerse yourself in the state’s rich traditions and modern healthcare innovations, all while delivering person‑centered care to residents who deserve the best.

Role Specifics and Benefits: In this LPN Long-Term Care role, you’ll deliver essential nursing care under the supervision of a registered nurse, focusing on supportive, respectful, and anticipatory care for residents with chronic conditions, dementia, and post-acute needs. Key responsibilities include accurate medication administration, routine head-to-toe assessments, timely documentation, and updating care plans in collaboration with the care team. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, monitor pain levels, manage wound care and dressing changes, support mobility and fall prevention, provide skin integrity oversight, and communicate observations to families with compassion and clarity. You’ll play a pivotal role in coordinating care transitions, guiding CNAs, and ensuring the environment remains safe, clean, and conducive to healing. This position invites professional growth within the long-term care specialty—opportunities to develop geriatric assessment skills, participate in care coordination initiatives, and pursue certifications that deepen expertise in dementia care, palliative approaches, or wound management.

Our travel package offers competitive compensation and meaningful incentives: a weekly pay range of $1,452–$1,540, with additional bonus opportunities in recognition of performance and commitment. Housing assistance is available to ease relocation, and extension opportunities allow you to continue building relationships with facilities you’ve come to know and trust. While shifts and hours are planned to meet facility needs, note that hours are not guaranteed in advance and will be confirmed during the hiring process. Our dedicated support team is available 24/7 to assist you while you travel, ensuring you have immediate access to guidance for clinical questions, scheduling adjustments, or any personal needs that arise on the road. You’ll benefit from thorough onboarding, orientation to each facility’s culture, and ongoing resources designed to help you excel in a fast-paced, patient-centered environment.

Company Values: Our organization is grounded in empowering staff, prioritizing career advancement, and cultivating a supportive work culture where every clinician’s voice is heard. We believe in recognizing expertise, offering pathways to leadership roles, and fostering a collaborative atmosphere where teamwork and continuous learning are everyday realities. You’ll join a network of professionals who value empathy, integrity, and high-quality geriatric care, and who actively invest in your professional development through mentorship, training, and opportunities to broaden clinical competencies.
