Gunnison Valley Health-Senior Care Center
Mid Level
Answer the call to care as a Registered Nurse specializing in long-term care, where every shift offers the chance to shape residents’ daily lives with dignity and empathy. In Gunnison, Colorado, you’ll join a close-knit caregiving team that values precision, compassion, and continuous learning as much as it values comfort and safety for residents. This multi-week assignment starts December 29, 2025, with a guaranteed 36 hours per week, and competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,781 to $1,919, reflecting your experience and the scope of responsibilities. You’ll work in an environment that rewards clinical excellence and true person-centered care, while you help families navigate transitions and celebrate small victories every day. You’ll be part of a mission that honors the humanity of every resident, delivering compassionate care plans, timely interventions, and consistent communication with families and the broader care team.
Beyond the walls of the facility, Colorado’s alpine scenery invites you to decompress after shifts: sunlit peaks, tranquil valleys, and endless trails in county and national parks. Gunnison’s historic charm, community events, and prairie skies provide a backdrop where hard work and outdoor leisure blend naturally, making this a role that nourishes both professional growth and personal well-being. Embrace a lifestyle that supports balance, where opportunities to explore the nearby Curecanti National Recreation Area, the Gunnison River, and seasonally vibrant mountain towns foster renewal and inspiration. The beauty of the state enhances your ability to stay resilient, focused, and energized for the complex, rewarding care you deliver to residents who rely on you daily.
Working in Gunnison offers a strong, supportive healthcare ecosystem among skilled nursing, long-term care, and assisted living facilities that value evidence-based practice and teamwork. This assignment also opens the door to opportunities across the U.S. for future placements, letting you gain diverse experiences—from mountain-view facilities to urban campuses—while building a network of peers and mentors. You’ll experience a lifestyle that supports wellness, with access to mentoring, continuing education stipends, and flexible scheduling options that fit your life. The role affords you autonomy within a collaborative framework, enabling you to lead care planning conversations, refine assessment skills, and mentor newer team members as you deepen your LTC expertise. You’ll enjoy the satisfaction of measurable outcomes—improved resident comfort, safer medication administration, reduced hospital transfers, and enhanced quality of life for those under your care.
Your role centers on comprehensive nursing care for residents with diverse needs: medication administration, assessment and care planning, wound and infection control, pain management, fall prevention, and coordination with physicians and therapists. You’ll lead care rounds, collaborate with an interdisciplinary team, document meticulously, and advocate for residents’ rights and preferences. The position offers professional growth through mentorship, leadership opportunities within the LTC setting, and exposure to dynamic, person-centered care models. In addition to competitive base pay, you’ll have access to a bonus program, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing, and the possibility of contract extensions to continue building expertise. Full support is provided 24/7 while you travel with the company, including onboarding assistance, travel coordination, and real-time clinical and administrative help so you’re never alone on the road. You’ll be equipped with reliable resources, updated policies, and a responsive support network designed to help you deliver consistent, high-quality care in any shift scenario.
Our company is committed to empowering our nurses—offering clear pathways to career advancement, structured learning, and a collaborative culture where feedback and growth are welcomed. We invest in you with robust training, peer support networks, and a family-friendly, respectful work environment that recognizes your professional contributions and personal well-being.
