Step into a rewarding role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care in Plattsburgh, New York, where your daily care sustains comfort, dignity, and independence for residents facing the rhythms of aging. In this position, you’ll blend clinical skill with compassionate listening, partnering with families and interdisciplinary teams to tailor care plans that respect each person’s values and preferences. Imagine the gratification of turning difficult days into moments of relief, connection, and hope, all while growing your expertise in long‑term care and geriatric nursing. Plattsburgh’s peaceful environs and the surrounding Adirondack region provide a unique backdrop where you can bring warmth and professional excellence to every shift, knowing your work helps residents thrive in their chosen chapters of life.

New York’s scenic beauty and the region’s welcoming communities amplify the rewards of this assignment. Plattsburgh sits near Lake Champlain and is nestled among rolling hills, offering four seasons of outdoor opportunities—from lakeside strolls and kayaking to winter trails and cozy evenings by the fire. Beyond the immediate care setting, you’ll encounter a state renowned for its cultural richness, historic charm, and abundant natural landscapes. You’ll also have the chance to experience other locations across the U.S. through our flexible travel opportunities, expanding your clinical repertoire and building a broad professional network while enjoying the adventure of discovering new communities.

As a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, you’ll deliver essential clinical and supportive care tailored to residents’ evolving needs. Your day-to-day responsibilities include administering medications and treatments with accuracy and timeliness, monitoring vital signs, assessing changes in health status, and communicating findings to the supervising registered nurse and attending physicians. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, mobility support, personal care, wound care, and rehabilitation exercises as prescribed, while maintaining patient safety, infection control, and quality standards. You’ll participate in ongoing care planning, documentation, and interdisciplinary rounds, ensuring care plans reflect residents’ preferences, responses to treatment, and evolving goals. Your empathy and professional judgment will guide you in de-escalating distress, supporting families, and promoting residents’ dignity and autonomy. The role also invites ongoing professional growth—opportunities to pursue specialized certifications in wound care, dementia care, palliative approaches, or restorative nursing, with mentorship and structured learning paths to advance your expertise within the specialty.

This position offers competitive compensation through a weekly pay range of $1,687 to $1,787, with the added appeal of a sign-on bonus and housing assistance to ease relocation and living arrangements during the assignment. Contract terms are structured in weeks, with possibilities for extensions to continue your impact beyond the initial period. While the stated hours are not guaranteed, you’ll have the flexibility of a supported schedule designed to meet resident needs and your professional preferences. We also provide comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance as you travel with the company, ensuring you’re never alone when you navigate new facilities, teams, or patients. Start date is 01/19/2026, and you can anticipate a well-structured introductory period followed by ongoing weekly commitments, with clear communication about any changes to hours or compensation as part of the hiring process.
