Step into a role that blends clinical excellence with compassionate leadership as a Registered Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care (LTC) in Wrangell, Alaska. This traveling assignment opens on 01/12/2026 and invites you to bring expert nursing skills, a patient-centered mindset, and a collaborative spirit to a tight-knit community where every resident’s quality of life matters. In LTC, your day is defined by meaningful connections, meticulous assessments, and dynamic care planning that honors independence and dignity. You’ll have the chance to influence care across the spectrum—from chronic disease management to restorative and palliative goals—while working with a dedicated interdisciplinary team. The Alaska landscape surrounding Wrangell offers a stunning backdrop for your professional journey, where serene waters, evergreen forests, and a resilient, welcoming culture provide balance after a demanding shift. And if you’re drawn to broader horizons, this role also offers opportunities to work in various locations across the United States, expanding your clinical experiences and professional network.
Location benefits: Wrangell is a place where community spirit meets the beauty of rugged terrain. Residents value warmth, reliability, and the reassurance of capable care close to home. You’ll enjoy the chance to deliver high-quality LTC services in a setting that emphasizes relationship-building, individualized care plans, and ongoing learning. The Alaska experience adds unique professional opportunities—from coordinating complex care in remote facilities to partnering with specialists who bring telehealth perspectives into everyday practice. The state’s remarkable natural offerings invite you to explore after shifts: salmon-filled waters, glacier-fed trails, and wildlife encounters that make downtime restorative. For those who love travel, our program also places you in other U.S. locations, enabling you to broaden your clinical repertoire while maintaining the security and support of a traveling team.
Role specifics and benefits:
- Core responsibilities: You will conduct comprehensive resident assessments, develop and revise individualized care plans, and administer medications with precision and safety. You’ll monitor vital signs, manage chronic conditions, assist with activities of daily living, perform wound care, and deliver IV therapy when within licensure and facility guidelines. Collaboration is essential as you coordinate with physicians, therapists, social workers, and CNAs to ensure care transitions are seamless and goals are clearly communicated. You’ll document thoroughly, participate in quality improvement initiatives, and respond rapidly to clinical changes or emergencies with composure and leadership. You’ll mentor and supervise support staff, promoting best practices in infection control, safety, and compassionate care.
- Growth and advancement: This assignment prioritizes your professional growth within LTC. Expect ongoing training, opportunities to lead care planning cycles, and pathways to advance into charge nurse or mentor roles as you gain experience. We encourage evidence-based practice, supporting you as you pursue specialty certificates or broader leadership responsibilities. Extension opportunities are available, giving you the chance to deepen your impact while building long-term relationships with residents and families.
- Competitive benefits and support: Enjoy a competitive weekly pay range of $2,611-$2,749 with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, ensuring steadiness in your planning and finances. The role includes a bonus opportunity, housing assistance to ease relocation or travel, and the potential for contract extensions to suit your career goals. You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated travel team, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company to ensure your safety, comfort, and success on every assignment.
- Comprehensive care environment: You’ll work within a culture that emphasizes resident empowerment, family involvement, and adherence to best practices in geriatric nursing. The team is committed to delivering person-centered care, respectful communication, and compassionate advocacy. You’ll have access to modern tools and resources that support accurate documentation, timely interventions, and collaborative problem-solving, all designed to help you feel confident and valued in your role.
Company values: Our organization is built on empowering staff to grow, learn, and lead with integrity. We are committed to a supportive work environment that recognizes your contributions, provides robust onboarding and mentorship, and offers continual opportunities for professional advancement.
