Job description

Step into a rewarding role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of residents who deserve dignity, comfort, and compassionate care. In these weeks-long assignments across New York, including Waterloo, you'll collaborate with a dedicated interdisciplinary team to deliver high-quality, person-centered care that supports independence and quality of life. Your clinical expertise, steady bedside manner, and thoughtful communication will help residents manage chronic conditions, navigate transitions, and maintain their sense of autonomy. This is more than a job—it's a chance to grow professionally, deepen your nursing craft in geriatric care, and contribute to a community that values empathy, respect, and ongoing learning.

New York is a state of diverse landscapes and vibrant communities, offering beauty and opportunity in equal measure. Picture tranquil days by the Finger Lakes, the forested majesty of the Adirondacks, and the historic charm of the Hudson Valley, offset by the energy and culture of bustling urban centers. Waterloo and nearby towns provide welcoming neighborhoods, farmers' markets, scenic lakes, and walkable downtowns where you can unwind after meaningful work. Whether your time off means exploring wine country, taking a lakeside stroll, or enjoying tranquil countryside, this region invites rejuvenation, discovery, and a balanced lifestyle that complements a fulfilling nursing career.

Location benefits go beyond a single site. Working in New York, including Waterloo, means access to supportive facilities and a cohesive network of colleagues who share best practices in long-term care. You'll have opportunities to experience varied care settings within the state, broadening your clinical exposure while maintaining strong supervision and patient-centered standards. For nurses with an adventurous streak, there are travel options within our network to other communities across the U.S., allowing you to expand your horizons while maintaining a trusted support system and a consistent standard of care.

Role specifics and benefits are designed to empower you. Core responsibilities include administering medications and treatments per physician orders, performing regular assessments and vital signs, assisting residents with activities of daily living, wound care and dressing changes, fall prevention, and safety rounding. You'll document changes, communicate with supervising RNs and the broader care team, and participate in care planning and family education. You'll lead with compassion, reinforce infection control, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives. The position offers competitive weekly pay between $1,378 and $1,464, with a promised focus on flexible, meaningful assignments and opportunities to extend your time with the program. A sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities are available to support your transition and ongoing engagement. 24/7 support is provided while you travel with the company, ensuring you have reliable assistance for any challenge that arises on the road. You'll receive comprehensive travel coordination, orientation, and ongoing clinical resources designed to help you thrive in long-term care settings.

Our company values empower you to grow. We are committed to empowering staff, supporting career advancement, and cultivating a nurturing work environment where your expertise is recognized and your voice matters. You'll be part of a team that cares about your professional development as much as resident outcomes, with mentorship, skills-building opportunities, and pathways to leadership roles as you gain experience and confidence in the LTC specialty.

If you're ready to apply your skills where they matter most and to embark on a journey that respects your dedication and ambition, this is your moment. Start March 17, 2026, and join a network that values your contribution, offers diverse experiences across New York and Waterloo, and supports you every step of the way. Ready to take the next step? Apply now to begin a rewarding chapter, grow your expertise in geriatric care, and help shape a brighter future for the residents you serve.
