Flandreau, SD
Contracted
Riverview Healthcare Center - FWS
Mid Level
Introduction
Step into a rewarding opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, bringing compassionate, patient-centered care to residents who deserve dignity, comfort, and respect every day. In this role, you’ll partner with an experienced care team to enhance quality of life for older adults and individuals with chronic conditions, guiding them through daily routines, managing symptoms, and supporting independent living where possible. You’ll be at the heart of a supportive environment that values empathy, clinical expertise, and consistent, dependable care. Start date is 03/23/2026, with a flexible weeks-based assignment designed to fit your availability while guaranteeing a steady 32 hours per week. Weekly pay ranges from $1,122 to $1,174, reflecting your skills and dedication. Beyond the clinical responsibilities, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on your impact, grow your LTC competencies, and contribute to a culture that cherishes each resident’s story. South Dakota’s open skies and welcoming communities set the stage for meaningful work and personal fulfillment, and the beautiful landscapes of the Mount Rushmore State offer moments of retreat after demanding, yet rewarding shifts. In addition to this focal assignment in Flandreau, there are pathways to placements across diverse facilities that broaden your professional horizon while keeping your core commitment to quality patient care central to every shift.
Location Benefits
This role centers in Flandreau, South Dakota, a town known for its warm community spirit, safe neighborhoods, and accessibility to outdoor adventures. Working here means you’ll experience a balanced cadence—intimate care environments where your presence makes a tangible difference, paired with the convenience of a supportive, well-resourced facility. The location offers opportunities to build strong relationships with residents and families, and easy access to essential services, cultural events, and regional charm. For those who enjoy variety, there is the possibility to be placed in other locations around the U.S., presenting diverse patient populations, facility types, and care practices. This elasticity supports your professional growth, strengthens your clinical versatility, and expands your professional network, all while maintaining the same high standard of patient-centered nursing you provide. In addition to direct care benefits, you’ll have access to housing assistance and the potential for relocation support if assignments require travel to different states, helping you focus on delivering compassionate LTC while enjoying new places, local eateries, parks, and community life that South Dakota and beyond have to offer.
Role Specifics and Benefits
As a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, you’ll play a pivotal role in daily resident care. Your responsibilities will include medication administration and reconciliation under current regulations, updating and implementing individualized care plans, monitoring vital signs, assessing changes in condition, and providing wound care as needed. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, mobility, and falls prevention, while collaborating closely with RNs to adjust care strategies and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Documentation will be meticulous, timely, and aligned with best practices, enabling seamless communication across the care team. You’ll also educate residents and families on care plans, health maintenance, and safety measures—empowering them to participate in their own care journey. The position encourages professional growth through LTC-focused skills development, leadership opportunities, and ongoing mentorship from experienced nursing leadership. Benefits are competitive and designed to honor your expertise: a sign-on or ongoing performance bonus, housing assistance to ease transitions, and potential extension opportunities that allow you to continue your rewarding work with familiar teammates and a proven support framework. You’ll operate within a system that offers 24/7 support for travelers and staff, ensuring you have reliable access to assistance, resources, and guidance whenever you need it. The guaranteed 32 hours per week provides a stable core schedule, with flexibility to accommodate facility needs and your personal life. Start date 03/23/2026 anchors a structured onboarding process, followed by a weeks-based contract that can extend as your performance, preferences, and facility needs evolve. This role is ideal for professionals who value consistency, clinical autonomy within an LTC setting, and opportunities to mentor peers while refining assessment skills, care planning, and resident advocacy.

Our organization is built on empowering its staff to grow within their careers while delivering exceptional patient care. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes professional development, open communication, and a supportive work environment where your voice is heard. Leaders invest in continued education, LTC competency expansion, and opportunities to advance toward senior care coordination roles or supervisory positions. The emphasis on teamwork, respect, and a resident-first mindset ensures you’re never asked to compromise your own well-being for the job. You’ll find a community that celebrates achievements, acknowledges the human side of healthcare, and supports you as you navigate shifts with resilience and compassion.
