You’ll enjoy the advantages of a stable base with a respected healthcare system that understands LTC needs and supports your practice with modern resources. The role offers the flexibility to work in various locations across the U.S., exposing you to a wide range of patient populations, facility types, and care models. This exposure fosters professional versatility, sharpens clinical judgment, and expands your network of mentors and peers.

Role specifics and benefits:
- You’ll deliver comprehensive LTC nursing care under the supervision of an experienced team, including assessment, medication administration, wound care, IV therapy, pain management, and preventive care tailored to older adults with chronic conditions, dementia, and mobility challenges.
- Under standardized care plans, you’ll monitor resident status, implement changes, document thoroughly in electronic medical records, and communicate clearly with physicians, therapists, social workers, and families to align goals and expectations.
- You’ll participate in care coordination meetings, contribute to individualized care plans, and advocate for safe, respectful, and dignified living environments that honor residents’ preferences and cultural needs.
- The role emphasizes professional growth within LTC, with opportunities to expand clinical skills in geriatric rehabilitation, palliative and hospice support, infection control, fall prevention, and transitional care — plus potential certifications and leadership pathways as you demonstrate excellence.
- Competitive benefits include a sign‑on bonus where offered, housing assistance or stipends to ease relocation and lodging, and potential contract extensions that allow you to continue making an impact while building seniority in a respected LTC network.
- A robust support structure backs you 24/7 while you travel with the company. You’ll have access to dedicated travel coordinators, clinical liaisons, and real‑time assistance to help resolve scheduling, lodging, or clinical questions quickly, so you can maintain focus on patient care.
