Alturas, CA
Contracted
Modoc Medical Center
Mid Level
Seize a transformative opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) dedicated to compassionate, hands-on care in California, starting 02/03/2026 for a multi‑week assignment. This role invites you to blend clinical precision with empathetic bedside presence, guiding patients through routines, assessing changes, administering medications where allowed, and partnering with registered nurses, physicians, and families to optimize comfort and recovery. Your daily work will span assessment, documentation, wound care, IV therapy support, chart reviews, and patient education, all performed with respect for autonomy and dignity. Beyond the technical tasks, you’ll have a chance to mentor peers and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, where your voice matters in shaping safer, more compassionate care. California’s diverse communities and landscapes make this opportunity even more compelling, offering you a chance to recharge your spirit through weekend excursions to coastal towns, high desert vistas, or pine‑covered trails after a purposeful day at work.
Alturas, located in Modoc County in northern California, offers a gateway to spacious skies, open roads, and a sense of community that centers on service. In this location, you’ll enjoy the benefit of a supportive medical team, streamlined onboarding, and reliable scheduling with guaranteed 36 hours per week, pairing with competitive weekly pay in the range of $752 to $783. The assignment also includes flexible options to work in other locations across the United States, broadening your clinical exposure while preserving your home base when you choose. Alturas and surrounding northern California communities boast a slower pace that rewards thorough patient relationships, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a focus on preventive care, all within a region renowned for pristine natural beauty. When you’re not in the clinic, you’ll have access to the state’s magnificent settings—redwood forests, alpine lakes, volcanic vistas, and vibrant small towns—that remind you why you chose this profession.
In terms of role specifics and benefits, you’ll perform essential LPN duties under appropriate supervision, including monitoring vital signs, assisting with activities of daily living, performing basic wound care, and supporting medication administration in accordance with state regulations and facility policy. You’ll partner with RNs and other care teams to implement care plans, document observations, and communicate changes promptly. The position emphasizes professional growth within the LPN specialization, offering exposure to diverse patient populations, acute and post‑acute settings, and opportunities to refine assessment, critical thinking, and patient education skills. Alongside competitive compensation, you’ll receive a sign‑on style bonus, comprehensive housing assistance, and opportunities to extend your contract for continued placements if you and the facility see a mutual fit. The program provides extensive support, including access to 24/7 assistance from our travel healthcare team as you navigate new facilities and communities, ensuring you’re never alone on the road. You’ll also participate in orientation, ongoing training, and mentorship resources designed to help you elevate your practice while maintaining personal wellbeing.
Our company values how you contribute to patient care and your professional development. We’re committed to empowering our staff through clear pathways for career advancement, structured ongoing education, and a respectful, collaborative work environment. We celebrate initiative, integrity, and a patient‑centered approach, and we invest in families and communities as well as clinical outcomes.
