Step into a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, where your expertise and compassion directly shape the quality of life for residents who rely on steady hands, steady hearts, and steadfast advocacy. This multi‑week assignment, starting December 30, 2025, invites you to bring clinical excellence to Michigan’s Petoskey area, delivering thoughtful, person‑centered care that honors dignity, promotes independence, and enhances comfort day after day. Picture the difference you’ll make in residents’ routines, families’ peace of mind, and the overall mood of the health community you serve. It’s not just a job—it’s a chance to apply your skillset where it matters most, in a setting that values empathy, precision, and collaboration. And when you need a moment to recharge, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Michigan’s beauty—the shimmering Lake Michigan coastline, the charming yards of Petoskey’s streets, the scenic dunes and forests of northern Michigan, and a seasonal rhythm that invites outdoor adventures, local culture, and restorative downtime.

Location benefits go beyond a single facility. Petoskey blends small‑town warmth with access to robust healthcare networks, offering a supportive environment where teams know your name and your expertise. The area’s four distinct seasons provide a unique backdrop for wellness and resilience, with opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities in spring, summer, and fall, and to unwind in winter with peaceful, snow‑dusted landscapes. For those drawn to variety, the role also opens pathways to assignments across the United States, delivering diverse experiences in different care settings, while keeping you rooted in the core values of patient advocacy and teamwork. Whether you choose to remain in Petoskey for the full contract or seize the chance to rotate through additional locations, you’ll benefit from a stable schedule, competitive compensation, and a community that prioritizes both professional growth and personal well‑being.

Role specifics and benefits define a fulfilled nursing career within this Long‑Term Care specialty. You’ll be responsible for delivering essential nursing care to residents living with chronic conditions, ensuring accurate administration of medications and treatments, monitoring health status, and recognizing early signs that warrant timely intervention. You’ll participate in care planning with an interdisciplinary team, contributing your clinical judgment to individualized care plans that emphasize comfort, safety, and daily function. You’ll support residents with activities of daily living, provide education to families, and mentor assistant staff to promote consistent, high‑quality care. The position offers significant opportunities for professional growth—pursue targeted training, expand competency in wound care and chronic disease management, and develop leadership skills that prepare you for advanced roles within long‑term care settings. Benefits include a competitive compensation package with a weekly pay range of $1,355–$1,380, and guaranteed hours of 36 per week, providing financial predictability and work‑life balance. A welcoming bonus program recognizes your commitment and contribution, while housing assistance eases transition logistics for multi‑week engagements. Extension opportunities allow you to build longer relationships with facilities you trust and continue delivering impactful care across multiple assignments. Comprehensive support is available 24/7 for travel and placement, ensuring you never navigate challenges alone—our team is accessible day and night to coordinate scheduling, approvals, and any on‑the‑ground needs. This combination of steady hours, supportive resources, and clear pathways to expand scope makes this role a compelling step forward in your nursing career.
