Embark on a rewarding journey as a Registered Nurse in Long-Term Care, bringing compassionate, patient-centered care to residents in Gunnison, Colorado, with a start date of 01/30/2026. This multi-week assignment is designed for nurses who believe in the power of dignity, comfort, and skilled, evidence-based practice to enhance quality of life for aging adults. Picture yourself partnering with families and interdisciplinary teams to create safe, supportive environments where every resident can thrive. Beyond the hospital walls, you’ll discover Colorado’s breathtaking landscapes, where golden sunrises over alpine peaks, tranquil forests, and autumn foliage invite restoration after demanding shifts. Gunnison offers a tight-knit community feel, outdoor recreation in every season, and a pace that honors recovery and resilience. From the start of your assignment, you’ll see that this opportunity isn’t just about a job—it’s about shaping a kind and competent standard of LTC care that leaves a lasting impact on individuals and families.
Location benefits are abundant. Working in Gunnison, you’ll experience the charm of a scenic mountain town with a welcoming community, access to year-round recreation, and the chance to deliver meaningful care in a setting where relationships matter. The opportunity to participate in a travel program also means you can explore other locations across the U.S. when desired, broadening your clinical exposure and professional network. Whether you’re drawn to the rustic heartbeat of Colorado or curious about healthcare cultures in different regions, our program supports your interests. You’ll enjoy flexible scheduling within a framework that respects your well-being, with resources designed to help you adapt to new teams, patient populations, and facility protocols. The assignment foregrounds not only clinical excellence but also personal growth—allowing you to refine skills in wound care, chronic disease management, mobility and fall prevention, and palliative considerations while enjoying the benefits of a robust support network across state lines.
Role specifics and benefits are built to empower you. As a LTC RN on this assignment, your core responsibilities will include comprehensive patient assessments, medication administration from MARs, monitoring vital signs, and promptly addressing changes in condition. You’ll contribute to the development, documentation, and revision of individualized care plans in collaboration with physicians, therapists, social workers, and family members. Expect to lead or co-lead nursing rounds, coordinate transitions of care, manage wound care and dressing changes, perform catheter care as indicated, and implement evidence-based practices for infection control and fall prevention. You’ll educate residents and caregivers about disease processes, medications, and safety strategies to promote independence and confidence. In this role, there’s room for professional growth—whether sharpening assessment skills, expanding leadership capabilities, or pursuing LTC-focused certifications with company-backed support. We provide a competitive compensation package that includes a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and potential extension opportunities, so you can plan a longer-term future with us if you choose. Beyond the on-site needs, you’ll have access to 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never navigating complex shifts or emergencies alone. Your schedule comes with guaranteed hours—36.0 per week—paired with weekly pay ranging from $1,574 to $1,659, and a Start Date aligned with your preference for a smooth onboarding. Please note that hours and pay rates are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process. In addition, we offer continuing education stipends and clinical resources designed to keep you at the forefront of LTC nursing practice.
Company values are at the heart of this opportunity. Our organization is devoted to empowering every nurse—from onboarding through ongoing career development—within a supportive, uplifting work environment. We champion collaboration, open communication, and inclusive leadership to create a culture where your expertise is respected, your ideas are heard, and your professional trajectory is clear.

In this culture of growth, you’ll find a clear path to expanded roles, increased responsibilities, and opportunities to influence patient care standards across multiple facilities or regions.
