Step into a pivotal role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where your hands-on care and compassionate approach create lasting comfort and trust for residents and their families. In Gardendale, Alabama, you’ll join a dedicated team that values dignity, consistency, and meaningful connection. This opportunity is more than a job—it’s a chance to influence everyday quality of life, monitor health changes with precision, and partner with families to craft thoughtful, resident-centered plans. Beyond the walls of the facility, Alabama reveals a rich tapestry of beauty and culture—from the moss-draped oaks along the Black Belt plains to the sparkling waters of Gulf Shores, from the rolling peaks of Cheaha State Park to the vibrant arts scene in Birmingham. Whether you’re drawn to a tight-knit community or the chance to explore Alabama’s scenic towns and historic locales, this role blends professional purpose with a welcoming, diverse landscape that invites growth.

Location Benefits: Working in Gardendale places you in a community known for its warmth, accessibility, and supportive networks for healthcare professionals. You’ll have the option to anchor your practice in this inviting locale or rotate to facilities across the United States, enriching your clinical experience while maintaining a strong base with a respected team. The setting emphasizes geriatric care with clear pathways for advancement, ongoing mentorship, and a robust support system designed to help you excel. Gardendale’s proximity to Birmingham offers easy access to cultural events, dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation, supporting a healthy balance between demanding shifts and personal time. For those who crave variety, the possibility of working in multiple locations provides exposure to diverse care environments, patient populations, and best practices, accelerating your clinical confidence and leadership potential. While you savor Alabama’s natural and historical attractions—such as the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, the scenic trails at Monte Sano, or the coastal charm of Gulf State Park—you’ll also build a resilient, transferable skill set that travels with you wherever your nursing career leads.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Long-Term Care LPN, you’ll deliver safe, patient-centered care under the guidance of registered nurses and physicians. Core responsibilities include accurate medication administration, monitoring vital signs, wound and skin care, inserting and managing lines where appropriate, assisting with feeding and mobility, and supporting activities of daily living. You’ll document observations in electronic medical records, contribute to care planning, communicate changes to the multidisciplinary team, and advocate for residents and families during rounds and care conferences. This role invites professional growth in geriatric specialty areas such as chronic disease management, dementia care, palliative approaches, falls prevention, and rehabilitation support. You’ll benefit from competitive weekly pay ranging from $939 to $967, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week and a start date of 12/01/2025. A sign-on bonus may be available, along with housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs. We offer contract extensions for ongoing opportunities, enabling you to deepen expertise and cultivate leadership within a trusted network. Comprehensive traveling support ensures you’re never alone on the road—24/7 assistance from a dedicated team is available, plus onboarding resources, safety training, and ongoing clinical coaching to help you navigate any challenge. This framework is designed to preserve your clinical autonomy while integrating you into a supportive, well-structured travel model that emphasizes safety, continuity of care, and resident well-being.
