In this role, your hands-on clinical expertise and compassionate communication will shape daily life for residents who rely on steady, respectful care. You’ll coordinate with an interdisciplinary team to implement care plans, monitor medications, and support activities that improve quality of life. This assignment begins on December 19, 2025, with a flexible weekly cadence that honors your professional priorities while offering competitive compensation. You’ll be part of a mission-driven environment that values precision, empathy, and the small acts of kindness that have a big impact on families and communities alike.
Nebraska’s landscapes invite both reflection and renewal. Grand Island sits amid rolling prairies, fertile farmland, and welcoming neighborhoods, with access to parks, museums, and seasonal events that enrich your time off. The state’s wide skies, friendly towns, and rich agricultural heritage create a backdrop where you can build meaningful connections with residents, families, and colleagues. After shifts, you’ll find opportunities to unwind in local dining spots, nearby trails, and cultural activities that showcase the region’s warmth. The location’s steady pace also allows you to focus on clinical excellence while enjoying a work-life balance that supports ongoing professional growth.
Location Benefits: Grand Island offers a tight-knit medical community with strong LTC networks, easy commuting, and collaborative teams you can rely on. You’ll experience the satisfaction of serving a diverse resident population within a supportive facility ecosystem, while enjoying potential assignments in nearby locations across Nebraska or other U.S. regions through our national travel program. This structure opens doors to exposure to different facility cultures, care models, and resident needs, enriching your clinical toolkit without sacrificing the security of a stable, community-centered base. The advantage of this role is the blend of hands-on practice in a familiar setting with the option to expand your horizons through temporary relocations that fit your personal and professional goals. In addition, you’ll gain access to resources designed to lighten the administrative load, so you can prioritize person-centered care and relationship-building with residents and their families.

You’ll communicate changes promptly to registered nurses and physicians, provide education to residents and families, and uphold safety, infection control, and quality standards at all times.
- Professional growth: This position is designed to deepen your LTC expertise while offering pathways for advancement into lead nurse, charge RN support, or supervisory tracks. You’ll have access to ongoing clinical education, mentorship from experienced LTC clinicians, and cross-training opportunities that broaden your skill set in memory care, rehabilitation, and palliative concepts. The exposure to varied resident needs fosters confidence in assessment skills, critical thinking, and collaborative care delivery.
- Competitive benefits: You’ll receive competitive weekly pay in the range of $875-$943, with a bonus structure designed to recognize performance and commitment. Housing assistance is available to ease relocation logistics, and extension opportunities let you continue contributing to exceptional resident care beyond the initial contract. Additional benefits may include a sign-on or retention bonus, shift differentials where applicable, and accessibility to a broad network of lodging and travel resources to support a smooth assignment experience.
- Comprehensive support: You’ll never travel alone. Our dedicated travel support team is available 24/7 to assist with housing logistics, scheduling, clinical questions, and emergency needs. A travel concierge helps coordinate shifts, site orientations, and community resources, ensuring you have the backing you need while you’re on assignment.
