You’ll participate in care coordination, work closely with RNs and physicians to adjust plans as conditions evolve, and communicate clearly with residents and their families about care goals, progress, and expectations. You’ll contribute to wound care, pain management, fall prevention, infection control, and daily living activities that sustain comfort and independence. The position also emphasizes mentorship and growth opportunities within the LTC specialty, with pathways to leadership, charge nurse responsibilities, and specialty training that expand your scope. You’ll benefit from competitive compensation, a sign-on bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary stays, and the potential for contract extensions that align with your career trajectory.
