Genesis - Mid-America & SE Region - Laurel Ridge Ctr
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long‑Term Care, where every shift is an opportunity to elevate comfort, dignity, and quality of life for residents who deserve compassionate, consistent care. Beginning January 5, 2026, you’ll join a travel assignment that places you in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, with the horizon open for extension and growth as you build lasting connections with patients, families, and care teams. This role is designed for hands‑on clinicians who blend clinical excellence with empathy, empowering you to shape outcomes and leave a positive imprint on every corridor you enter. In Pennsylvania, you’ll discover a landscape of community warmth—historic towns, lush countryside, and the bustling energy of nearby urban centers—offering a rich backdrop for both professional fulfillment and personal exploration. Consider a state where outdoor adventures await after shifts, from rolling hills to scenic byways, where quiet evenings in friendly neighborhoods harmonize with opportunities to contribute meaningfully to long‑term resident well‑being. While Uniontown anchors your experience, the program also opens doors to working at various facilities across the U.S., enabling you to broaden your clinical perspective while expanding your professional network and reshaping the scope of your practice.
Location benefits go beyond the walls of a single facility. Uniontown and the surrounding Pittsburgh region provide a compelling balance of accessible amenities, cultural experiences, and affordable living, with easy access to parks, rivers, and a thriving arts scene. You’ll have the chance to explore the Laurel Highlands and nearby state parks, savor local cuisine, and enjoy family‑friendly activities that fit with a demanding yet rewarding healthcare career. If you seek variety, this assignment offers the flexibility to extend to additional long‑term care settings coast to coast, delivering exposure to diverse patient populations, care models, and regulatory environments. The Pennsylvania location also means you’ll collaborate with seasoned teams who value mentorship, evidence‑based practice, and continuous improvement, all while benefiting from a supportive infrastructure designed to keep you energized and prepared for the next patient encounter. When you crave broader professional vistas, your experience can evolve into opportunities across the country, enriching your résumé with multifaceted LTC proficiency and adaptive bedside leadership.
Role specifics combine clinical autonomy with systematic collaboration, focusing on comprehensive resident care, safety, and family engagement. Your responsibilities include daily assessment of residents’ health status, timely administration of medications, wound care and skilling in basic interventions, and the implementation of individualized care plans in coordination with registered nurses and care coordinators. You’ll participate in care conferences, document meticulously in electronic health records, and educate residents and families on health maintenance, disease management, and discharge planning. The position emphasizes infection control, fall prevention, skin integrity, and pain management, with attention to evolving best practices in palliative and restorative care within long‑term settings. You’ll have opportunities for professional growth—pursuing certifications in wound care, geriatrics, or a broader LTC track, expanding your scope to charge‑level responsibilities or clinical educator roles as you gain experience. The engagement includes the possibility of contract extensions, enabling continuity of care for residents and stability for you as a traveling clinician. Competitive compensation supports your dedication, with a weekly pay range of $1,201 to $1,244, reflecting the value of your expertise in high‑demand LTC environments. Please note that final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process; this role does not guarantee a set number of hours each week, aligning with the dynamic needs of travel assignments and facility calendars.
Distinctive benefits accompany your clinical duties. In addition to the solid pay, you’ll have access to a sign‑on bonus and housing assistance designed to reduce relocation stress and help you settle quickly into new communities. The program offers extension opportunities that reward consistency and reliability, so you can build a longer‑term presence where you feel most effective and connected to residents and teams. You’ll also receive robust support from a dedicated travel services team, including 24/7 assistance while you’re on assignment. This continuous safety net ensures you have immediate access to resources, guidance, and problem resolution, whether you’re navigating patient care challenges, adjusting to new facility protocols, or coordinating with family members who seek reassurance about their loved one’s care. The combination of structured support, flexible scheduling where allowed, and access to housing and extension options creates a framework in which your clinical voice can influence positive change and your professional journey can flourish.
Company values center on empowering staff to advance their careers within a nurturing, collaborative culture. We are committed to cultivating a workspace where skilled clinicians feel respected, heard, and supported in every step of their career. You’ll find opportunities to mentor peers, participate in quality improvement initiatives, and contribute to a culture of safety and continuous learning.

By joining us, you align with a mission that prizes professional development, patient‑centered outcomes, and a work environment that champions resilience, curiosity, and teamwork.
