Answer the call to compassionate, hands‑on care as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long‑Term Care in Newport, North Carolina. This travel‑focused opportunity empowers you to blend clinical expertise with meaningful, everyday impact as you enhance residents’ quality of life. Beginning on 01/17/2026, you’ll have a weekly pay range of $1,199 to $1,273, with assignments measured in weeks and flexible scheduling that lets you pursue professional growth while delivering consistent, high‑touch care. You’ll join a company that supports your journey with comprehensive resources, ensuring you feel confident and connected whether you’re on site or traveling to new settings. This role is designed for skilled, empathetic LPNs who want to influence outcomes, elevate standards of care, and build lasting relationships with residents, families, and care teams. You’ll be part of a mission that values precision, dignity, and ongoing learning, with a clear pathway to deepen expertise in long‑term care while enjoying the camaraderie of a supportive professional community.

Newport and coastal North Carolina are a study in beauty and balance: sunlit shores, historic harbor towns, seafood markets, and parks that invite strolls, fishing, and sunset views. The region offers a relaxed pace paired with robust community resources, cultural events, and opportunities to unwind after shifts with family and friends. Beyond the coast, North Carolina’s diverse landscapes—from rivers and woods to scenic byways—invite outdoor exploration, while the state’s friendly towns foster a sense of belonging. Whether you’re enjoying an evening walk along the waterfront, savoring local cuisine, or discovering hidden gems during time off, you’ll find a welcoming backdrop that complements a demanding yet deeply rewarding career. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to experience the state’s warmth, history, and natural beauty while you advance your professional journey.

Location Benefits: Working in Newport offers a close‑knit, patient‑centered environment with a rhythm that respects both your professional pace and your personal time. You’ll experience meaningful interaction with residents who rely on your expertise for comfort, safety, and independence, supported by seasoned colleagues and a collaborative leadership culture. If you’re drawn to variety, this role also provides the opportunity to work in other locations across the U.S., exposing you to diverse facilities, patient populations, and best practices in long‑term care. Expect steady collaboration with physicians, social workers, and therapy teams, with weekend coverage and flexible assignments that can broaden your professional horizon while building your resume. The program includes housing assistance to ease relocation, access to relocation stipends, and options for contract extensions that promote continuity of care and professional development while you explore different communities and clinical environments. You’ll benefit from a robust network of internal resources and a travel support team ready to assist 24/7, ensuring you’re never alone when navigating new facilities or shift demands.

Role Specifics and Benefits: Your core responsibilities include administering medications, monitoring vitals, assessing residents, implementing and updating individualized care plans, wound care, insulin administration and diabetic care oversight, hydration and nutrition management, falls prevention, and restorative nursing techniques to support mobility and independence. You’ll record observations accurately, report changes promptly, and collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to ensure a safe, dignified living environment. You’ll also educate residents and families about treatments, discharge planning, and disease management, reinforcing continuity of care across transitions. The role offers strong professional growth: mentorship from experienced clinicians, access to continuing education credits, leadership tracks, and practical opportunities to assume charge‑level responsibilities as you gain confidence and demonstrate clinical excellence. Expect competitive benefits that may include a sign‑on or performance bonus, housing assistance to simplify relocation, and the option to extend assignments to strengthen continuity of care and expertise. A key differentiator is the comprehensive, proactive support you’ll receive—24/7 assistance while traveling with the company means you have trusted help on demand, whether you’re adjusting to a new facility, navigating documentation, or coordinating with family members.

Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering clinicians, advancing careers, and cultivating a supportive, respectful work environment. We recognize the expertise you bring and are committed to providing mentorship, constructive feedback, and clear pathways to leadership and specialty certifications. We champion work–life balance, transparent communication, and the dignity of every resident and caregiver alike. You’ll be part of a culture that prioritizes safety, integrity, empathy, and teamwork, where your voice matters in shaping quality care standards and where your professional growth is actively supported through structured training, recognition programs, and collaborative problem‑solving.

Call to Action: If you’re a dedicated LPN with a passion for long‑term care and a curiosity to learn across different settings, this is your invitation to join a company that values your contributions and invests in your ongoing development. Apply today to begin a rewarding journey that fits your goals and makes a real difference in people’s lives. You’ll join a team that sees you not just as a caregiver, but as a vital partner in delivering compassionate care, elevating practice, and building a future where residents thrive and you advance with confidence and purpose.
