Community Memorial Health Center
Mid Level
Seize a rewarding opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, with a dynamic travel assignment rooted in Hartley, Iowa, beginning December 22, 2025. This role puts you at the heart of compassionate, person-centered care, where your clinical expertise helps residents live with dignity and comfort. Picture Iowa’s beautiful landscapes—rolling prairies, pristine lakes, and charming small towns—providing a welcoming backdrop for your professional journey. As you consider this path, you may also have the chance to work across various locations in the United States, expanding your experience while maintaining the same commitment to quality care.
Hartley, Iowa, offers a community-focused environment that values connection, safety, and work-life balance. Small-town charm meets practical access to outdoor recreation, friendly neighborhoods, and a supportive local network—ideal for a focused, meaningful placement. For travelers seeking broader horizons, the opportunity to work in multiple locations across the U.S. opens doors to diverse care settings, a broader professional network, and the chance to refine your skills while adapting to different resident needs and facility cultures. In addition to the on-site experience, the assignment includes housing assistance to ease transitions and help you settle into your temporary home with confidence. You’ll also benefit from robust support infrastructure designed for traveling healthcare professionals, including around-the-clock assistance from our team, so you’re never navigating challenges alone.
In this long-term care setting, you’ll deliver essential nursing care under the supervision of registered nurses and collaborating physicians. Key responsibilities include administering medications per physician orders, assessing resident health status, monitoring vital signs, and identifying changes that require intervention. You’ll participate in the development, implementation, and adjustment of care plans, ensuring accurate documentation and timely communication with the care team. Additional duties encompass assistance with activities of daily living, wound and ostomy care as needed, mobility and fall-prevention strategies, catheter and ostomy care when applicable, and early detection of decline to support proactive care. You’ll have opportunities for professional growth within the long-term care specialty, including onboarding for new procedures, participating in quality improvement initiatives, and expanding your scope through credentialing and advanced practice pathways as available. The role also offers potential for contract extensions, providing continuity for both residents and your professional trajectory.
This position features competitive benefits designed to recognize your expertise and dedication. Compensation is structured to reward your skills, with weekly pay ranging from $1,482 to $1,563, and guaranteed hours of 40 per week to support financial stability and planning. In addition, you can anticipate housing assistance to ease relocation and lodging during the assignment, along with options for sign-on or completion bonuses that acknowledge your commitment. There are extension opportunities available, allowing you to stay longer if you and the facility agree on continued needs and mutual goals. To support seamless delivery of care as you travel, you’ll receive comprehensive, 24/7 support from the company, including access to resources, guidance, and help with any on-site or travel-related concerns—so you can focus on what you do best: delivering high-quality care and building meaningful relationships with residents and their families. The role is designed to integrate with your life, offering flexibility within a structured framework that respects your professional boundaries and personal well-being.
Our company is grounded in values that empower staff, champion professional development, and foster a supportive, collaborative work environment. We’re dedicated to helping you advance your career in long-term care, offering opportunities for skill enhancement, mentorship, and exposure to a variety of resident needs and care modalities. You’ll join a team that respects your expertise, encourages initiative, and supports your growth with transparent pathways, ongoing training, and a culture that prioritizes resident outcomes alongside caregiver satisfaction.
