Contracted
Garden View Care Center
Mid Level
Answer the call to compassionate care as a Registered Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, embarking on a rewarding travel assignment that places you in Shenandoah, Iowa, with the flexibility to work across diverse facilities throughout the United States. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to apply clinical expertise to enhance daily living for residents who have shaped our communities. From the moment you step into a warm, patient-centered environment, you’ll see how a nurse’s steady hands and thoughtful care can illuminate dignity, comfort, and independence for seniors. Starting January 27, 2026, this engagement offers weeks of meaningful work, a clear path for professional growth within the LTC specialty, and the satisfaction of knowing your expertise directly improves quality of life. As you plan your next move, let Iowa’s inviting landscapes accompany your journey—the state’s farmland vistas, small-town hospitality, and scenic byways provide a refreshing backdrop to every shift, inviting reflection and balance after demanding days at the bedside.
Shenandoah and the surrounding region offer a compelling workplace culture for nursing professionals in long-term care. You’ll be part of teams that value continuity of care, patient advocacy, and collaborative problem-solving. The appeal isn’t only in the patient outcomes; it’s in the camaraderie you’ll build with interdisciplinary colleagues who respect your judgment and nurture your professional voice. And for those who crave variety, there’s the option to extend your travel across multiple sites within Iowa and beyond, enriching your clinical repertoire while still anchored by consistent, resident-centered care. Expect a supportive, value-driven environment that recognizes the expertise you bring and the impact you make on residents, families, and care teams.
In this role, you’ll assume essential responsibilities that honor the LTC setting: comprehensive assessments to chart evolving needs, medication administration and reconciliation, wound care, catheter and incontinence management, fall prevention, and timely response to changes in condition. You’ll develop and routinely update individualized care plans, coordinate multidisciplinary rounds, document meticulously in electronic health records, and maintain patient safety through evidence-based practices and infection control standards. You’ll monitor residents’ functional status, support rehabilitation goals, and empower families with clear, compassionate communication about care plans and transitions. The position invites ongoing professional growth—opportunities to deepen geriatric knowledge, lead care coordination efforts, mentor new staff, and pursue leadership tracks such as charge nurse or clinical educator, all while maintaining the high standard of compassionate nursing you bring to every shift.
The package is designed to reflect the expertise you deliver every day and to support your career trajectory. You’ll enjoy competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,885 to $2,006, with housing assistance and relocation support designed to ease transitions between assignments. You can look forward to flexible duration options and the potential for contract extensions based on facility needs and your professional fit. A dedicated support team stands ready around the clock—24/7 assistance for travelers, on-call clinical support, and a traveler advocacy line to handle any on-site concerns. You’ll also have access to onboarding orientation, continuous clinical education resources, and the chance to build a broad network across facilities that value skilled LTC nursing. The intent is to help you grow, thrive, and feel secure as you navigate new environments while delivering exceptional resident care.
Our company’s values center on empowering nursing professionals to advance their careers in a supportive setting. We’re committed to recognizing expertise, fostering mentorship, and investing in ongoing learning. You’ll find a culture that prioritizes your well-being, professional dignity, and the autonomy needed to make sound clinical decisions. A collaborative atmosphere means you’ll receive constructive feedback, opportunities to lead quality improvement initiatives, and pathways to expanded responsibilities as you demonstrate clinical leadership and compassion in action. In this environment, your voice matters, your development is supported, and your contributions help shape the future of geriatric care.
If you’re ready to bring your LTC RN expertise to residents who deserve compassionate, dignified care and to explore a spectrum of settings across the country, we invite you to apply. This is more than a temporary assignment; it’s a chance to join a community that values your skill, respects your professionalism, and invests in your career growth while you travel, learn, and make a lasting impact. Embrace the opportunity to experience Iowa’s welcoming landscape and the broader possibilities of LTC nursing nationwide—where every shift is a chance to elevate care, enrich lives, and advance your professional journey.
