Role specifics and benefits are tailored to support your growth and well-being. As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you will:
- Provide high-quality, patient-centered nursing care to residents, including medication administration under physician order, routine assessments, and timely clinical documentation.
- Monitor vital signs, observe for subtle changes in condition, and promptly communicate concerns to the interdisciplinary team to prevent complications and support continuity of care.
- Assist with daily living activities, reinforce infection control practices, and help residents maintain independence and comfort within the facility's care plan.
- Collaborate with RNs, physicians, therapists, and social services to develop and implement individualized care plans, ensuring each resident's physical, emotional, and psychosocial needs are met.
- Mentor and support Certified Nursing Assistants and ancillary staff, fostering a respectful, collaborative environment that prioritizes resident dignity and safety.
- Engage in ongoing professional growth opportunities, including LTC-specific training, certifications, and pathways toward leadership roles within the facility or network.
- Contribute to a positive workplace culture by upholding compliance with regulatory standards, safety protocols, and documentation accuracy.

Expect a weekly pay range of 1,851 to 1,965, with guaranteed 40 hours per week. In addition to competitive compensation, you'll have access to important traveler benefits, including housing assistance and extension opportunities that let you tailor the length of your engagement to your personal and professional goals. A robust bonus program may be available to acknowledge exceptional performance, consistent reliability, and successful completion milestones. We also offer housing options or stipends to help ease transition between assignments, plus opportunities to extend or transfer to other locations as you grow within the program. You'll never travel alone—our team provides 24/7 support while you're on assignment, ensuring you have a trusted partner available for clinical questions, scheduling, travel logistics, and any unexpected needs that arise.
