Role Specifics and Benefits:
As a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, your key responsibilities will center on delivering person-centered nursing care, closely aligned with each resident’s care plan. You’ll administer medications and treatments according to physician orders, monitor vitals, observe changes in condition, and document findings clearly in electronic health records. You’ll perform routine assessments, assist with activities of daily living, support wound care and catheter care as needed, manage acute symptoms under direction, and collaborate with registered nurses, physicians, and therapists to update care plans. You’ll educate residents and their families about medications, safety, fall prevention, and healthy daily routines, empowering informed choices. Your role will also involve participating in rounds, contributing to discharge planning, and supporting transition care when residents move between levels of service.

Start date is set for 03/24/2026, with duration measured in weeks to fit assignment needs. A bonus structure is available to recognize exceptional performance and dedication. Housing assistance is provided to ease relocation, with options to support extended stays or housing extensions based on assignment length and patient census. You may also benefit from extension opportunities, giving you the chance to continue your impactful work with the same organization or transition to other enriching assignments across the network.

The program emphasizes continuity of care, predictable hours, and a team-oriented culture where your voice helps shape improvements in patient outcomes and workflow efficiency. Additionally, access to ongoing professional development and mentorship in long-term care will help you advance toward advanced practice competencies and leadership roles within the facility or broader network.
The role also includes robust safety nets and resources designed to sustain your well-being while you are on assignment. You’ll benefit from clinical supervision when needed, access to telehealth consultations for complex cases, and a structured onboarding process to acclimate you to the facility’s EHR systems, infection control protocols, and medication administration processes. The organization prioritizes work-life balance and recognizes the demands of travel healthcare, offering flexible scheduling options, supportive supervision, and opportunities to customize assignments to align with your professional interests and personal goals.
