Step into a rewarding role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, delivering compassionate, steady hands to residents who rely on your skilled care and steady presence. This multi-week assignment begins December 9, 2025, in Skowhegan, Maine, offering you the opportunity to deepen expertise in geriatric and restorative care while making a meaningful difference in daily lives. In a state celebrated for its rugged beauty and tight-knit towns, you’ll find a welcoming community that recognizes the importance of dignity, comfort, and professional growth. Maine’s landscapes—from serene rivers and forested trails to vibrant fall foliage—provide a backdrop that refreshes the spirit after a day of dedicated care, inviting you to explore local markets, scenic drives, and outdoor adventures during your time off.
Location benefits go beyond a welcoming hometown setting. Skowhegan offers practical, supportive facilities with a focus on resident-centered care and teamwork. You’ll have the chance to work in Maine and, if you choose, broaden your horizon by exploring assignments across the United States, gaining exposure to diverse facilities, patient populations, and care models. Locally, enjoy a manageable pace and strong community ties, allowing you to build lasting relationships with residents and families while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team. For those seeking broader experience, the program provides pathways to rotate to various locations nationwide, enriching your clinical perspective and expanding your professional network, all while you maintain continuity of patient advocacy and high standards of practice.
Role specifics and benefits
- Core responsibilities: Provide direct, compassionate nursing care under supervision, including monitoring vital signs, medication administration per care plans, and timely documentation. Assist residents with activities of daily living, mobility, and fall prevention; support wound care, dressing changes, and basic ostomy or catheter care as indicated. Uphold infection prevention and control practices, ensure safety through accurate assessments, and contribute to the development and adjustment of individualized care plans. Communicate changes promptly to supervising clinicians, collaborate closely with RNs, therapists, social workers, and family members to align goals, and participate in rounds and quality improvement initiatives to elevate resident outcomes.
- Growth and advancement: The Long-Term Care specialty offers a clear pathway for professional growth, including enhanced assessment skills, increased autonomy in care planning, and opportunities to pursue certifications or become a mentor for new team members. This environment values continuous learning and multidisciplinary collaboration, supporting your development as a steward of elder care and a trusted advocate for residents and families.
- Benefits and incentives: Competitive weekly pay in the range of $1,051 to $1,145, with a bonus potential to recognize dedication and performance. Housing assistance is available to ease transition, and extension opportunities can provide continuity of employment beyond the initial assignment if needed. The arrangement emphasizes flexibility, with no guaranteed hours (0.0), reflecting the realities of travel-based assignments while still delivering consistent, reliable compensation in line with hours worked.
- Comprehensive support: You’ll receive robust, 24/7 support from the travel-centric company guiding your assignment. This includes travel coordination, access to a dedicated clinical liaison, and on-call assistance to help you navigate any on-site challenges, ensuring you’re never alone as you deliver high-quality care on the road.
