Introduction
Step into a rewarding opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, based in Gothenburg, Nebraska, with a travel-ready structure that welcomes you to deliver compassionate, expert care where it matters most. This role is designed for nurses who believe in the power of steady, person-centered support—helping residents maintain dignity, independence, and comfort each day. You’ll join a dedicated team that values mentorship, growth, and a shared commitment to excellence in geriatric care. The assignment begins on 02/25/2026 and extends for several weeks, giving you the chance to immerse yourself in skilled practices while exploring new communities and building lasting professional relationships. And as you plan your journey, take a moment to appreciate Nebraska’s beauty—the state’s wide prairies, golden sunsets, and tranquil small towns offer a refreshing backdrop to the meaningful work you do. The opportunities here go beyond a paycheck; they’re about making a tangible difference in residents’ lives while experiencing the charm of a welcoming Nebraska town.

Location Benefits
Gothenburg and the surrounding Nebraska landscape provide a warm, community-driven setting ideal for focused caregiving. You’ll work in a town renowned for friendly neighborhoods, safe streets, and a slower pace that allows you to truly connect with residents, families, and colleagues. The location benefits extend beyond daily professional fulfillment: affordable living, convenient access to outdoor spaces, and rich opportunities to enjoy Nebraska’s natural scenery during downtime. For those drawn to variety, this assignment can also offer experiences across multiple U.S. locations, enabling you to broaden your clinical perspectives while maintaining a supportive travel framework. Expect robust onboarding, local orientation, and ongoing access to a 24/7 support network that ensures you’re never navigating the path alone. While you’ll have the chance to serve Gothenburg’s long-term care communities, you’ll also discover the broader value of being part of a nationwide mobility program—diverse patient populations, varied facility cultures, and an enhanced skill set that comes from adapting to different care environments.

Role Specifics and Benefits
As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll deliver essential, resident-centered care under the supervision of nursing leadership, with opportunities for professional growth in geriatrics and care coordination. Your responsibilities will include:

- Administering medications, monitoring responses, and reporting concerns promptly to the supervising clinician.
- Performing routine assessments, vital signs, wound care, and daily living support to maintain residents’ comfort and safety.
- Assisting with activities of daily living, mobility, and rehabilitation activities designed to promote independence.
- Contributing to care planning, documenting changes, and collaborating with RNs, therapists, and family members to optimize each resident’s trajectory.
- Ensuring infection control practices, safety protocols, and regulatory compliance are consistently followed.
- Providing education and support to residents and families, addressing questions and easing transitions between care levels.
- Participating in ongoing training and professional development opportunities, with a clear pathway to expanded responsibilities.

Key benefits include a competitive compensation package with a weekly pay range of 1,469 to 1,525, plus a sign-on or performance bonus, housing assistance or housing stipends, and potential extension opportunities based on performance and facility needs. The role emphasizes comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from our travel team, streamlined onboarding, and access to resources designed to help you succeed from day one. While the listed hours may vary by assignment, our program aims to maximize your professional growth and your ability to deliver consistent, high-quality care.
