Gunnison, CO
Contracted
Gunnison Valley Health-Senior Care Center
Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, delivering compassionate, high-quality nursing in Gunnison, Colorado, with a start date of 01/26/2026. This travel-ready assignment places you at the heart of resident well‑being, enabling you to influence daily comfort, safety, and dignity while collaborating with interdisciplinary teams. From daytime rounds to overnight care, your steady presence will help residents navigate chronic conditions, maintain independence where possible, and feel valued in a supportive community that prioritizes caregivers as well as patients. This is your chance to apply clinical judgment, strengthen geriatric skills, and leave a lasting, positive imprint on individuals and families alike. Assignment duration: Weeks, with a structure that respects your expertise and fosters growth within long-term care.
Colorado’s landscapes are legendary, and Gunnison’s beauty is a true highlight. In this mountain enclave, you’ll find sunlit mesas, forested trails, and a welcoming small‑town atmosphere framed by the Rockies. Outdoor opportunities—from hiking and fishing to seasonal snow sports—offer balance after meaningful shifts at the bedside. If you crave broader horizons, this role also opens opportunities to work in diverse locations across the U.S., allowing you to broaden clinical experience, adapt to different facility cultures, and bring compassionate care to varied communities.
Key responsibilities and growth opportunities: As an LPN in long‑term care, you’ll perform routine nursing duties with precision, including administering medications and treatments, monitoring vital signs, assisting with activities of daily living, wound care, catheter and ostomy care as appropriate, and promptly reporting changes to supervising clinicians. You’ll support care planning and meticulous documentation, contribute to infection control and safety protocols, and participate in discharge planning and family communications. The role emphasizes professional growth within geriatrics: enhanced assessment skills, care coordination with RNs and physicians, evidence‑based practices, and opportunities to mentor nursing assistants. You’ll also benefit from a robust support system designed for traveling clinicians: 24/7 assistance from the company, travel coordination, and ready access to resources whenever you need guidance.
Compensation, benefits, and practical support: You’ll receive a competitive weekly pay range of $1,264-$1,316, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week. The package may include a signing bonus, housing assistance or stipends to help you settle, and the option to extend the assignment if both you and the facility see a continued fit. You’ll enjoy comprehensive field support, ongoing scheduling clarity, and a collaborative environment where your insights help shape care plans and improve resident outcomes. This structure is designed to honor your experience and provide stability across destinations, while still allowing you to explore Gunnison’s local charm and other communities across the country.
Company values and career empowerment: Our organization is built on empowering staff, elevating careers, and fostering a respectful, inclusive, and supportive workplace. We invest in continuing education, mentorship, and clear pathways for advancement, encouraging clinicians to expand into leadership roles, specialized LTC competencies, or other healthcare settings as they grow. You’ll join a diverse team that values your expertise, respects your well‑being, and celebrates tangible impact—one resident at a time. The environment is designed to nurture your professional development while maintaining balance and well‑being in travel nursing.
Call to action: If you’re an LPN with a passion for geriatric care and a desire to grow within a dynamic, travel‑friendly environment, apply today. Take this opportunity to join a company that honors your contributions, supports your professional development, and helps you build a rewarding career while exploring Gunnison’s scenic surroundings and the broader U.S. Your next chapter in long‑term care starts here.
