In this role you’ll deliver compassionate, evidence-based care to older adults in a long-term care setting, partnering with physicians, therapists, and families to craft holistic care plans that honor independence and quality of life. You’ll apply your clinical expertise to manage complex chronic conditions, support daily living activities, and promote safety across all rounds.

Colorado’s Gunnison Valley invites you to work in a setting where mountains meet meaningful work. Gunnison offers a welcoming small-town atmosphere paired with spectacular outdoor access: hiking and biking in summer, fishing and scenic drives along the valley, and winter snowsports nearby.

Colorado itself is renowned for its diverse landscapes—from alpine vistas to prairie sunsets—and the state’s commitment to outdoor recreation can complement a nurse’s sense of balance and well-being. For those seeking broader experiences, our program also provides opportunities to work in various locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical exposure, colleagues, and professional horizons while maintaining the same commitment to compassionate care.

You’ll address complex needs such as chronic disease management, mobility limitations, nutrition, pain, and palliative considerations, while also offering education and advocacy for patients and families. This role provides meaningful opportunities for professional advancement within geriatrics, including potential leadership tracks, mentorship of aides and new nurses, and continuing education—helping you expand your skill set while making a tangible difference in residents’ daily lives.
