Travel Licensed Practical Nurse Long-Term Care Job

Step into a rewarding opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care with our dedicated travel healthcare program, beginning December 1, 2025 in Tuscumbia, Alabama. This role is crafted for compassionate LPNs who want to blend expert clinical care with meaningful daily interactions that improve residents’ quality of life. Imagine guiding patients through their routines, supporting families, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to tailor care plans that honor dignity, independence, and comfort. While you bring your skills to our Alabama posting, you’ll also have the chance to experience a broad spectrum of facilities across the United States, expanding your expertise and professional network along the way. And when you combine a fulfilling career with Alabama’s warm spirit and natural beauty, you’ll discover a compelling balance of purpose, growth, and pace that suits you.

Location benefits extend beyond your clinical duties. Tuscumbia sits in the scenic Tennessee Valley, inviting you to enjoy easy access to outdoor escapes, historic sites, and a thriving cultural scene. In the heart of the Shoals region, you’ll discover a friendly community vibe, superb dining, and welcoming neighborhoods that foster connection after shifts. Alabama itself offers diverse landscapes—from riverfront views along the Tennessee River to the rolling hills of nearby parks and trails. You’ll also have the opportunity to be placed at additional locations across the U.S., each delivering unique experiences—urban centers, quieter suburban settings, and facilities with specialized programs in geriatric care. Whether you’re drawn to the intimate pace of a small town or the energy of a larger community, this travel assignment is designed to enrich your nursing practice while you explore new environments and build lasting professional relationships.

In the role, you’ll deliver high-quality, resident-centered care in long-term care settings. Your responsibilities will include administering medications, monitoring vital signs, assessing patient conditions, and supporting activities of daily living. You’ll collaborate with charge nurses, attending physicians, physical and occupational therapists, social workers, and dietary and rehab teams to implement and adjust individualized care plans. You’ll document assessments, progress notes, and interventions in electronic medical records, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and continuity of care. You’ll assist with wound care, pain management, fall prevention, and infection control, while promoting safety, comfort, and respect for every resident’s preferences. The position also offers chances for professional growth within geriatrics, including specialty training opportunities, enhanced clinical decision-making, and exposure to diverse long-term care models. The role is structured to support ongoing learning and skill refinement, with access to mentors and the latest evidence-based practices.

Our compensation package is competitive and designed to recognize your expertise from day one. You’ll receive weekly pay in the range of $765-$796 and guaranteed hours of 36.0 each week, with the potential for extension based on facility needs and performance. The program also includes a sign-on bonus to acknowledge your commitment, housing assistance to ease transitions to new locations, and clear extension opportunities that align with your career goals. Beyond monetary support, you’ll enjoy comprehensive 24/7 assistance from a dedicated traveler support team, ready to help with housing, travel logistics, shift changes, and any on-site challenges that may arise. This ensures you can focus on delivering compassionate care and thriving in your assignments, no matter where your next placement occurs.

The company values of empowerment, respect, and growth guide every assignment. We’re committed to fostering a culture where your professional development is a priority, your voice is heard, and you’re supported by a network of colleagues and leaders who believe in your potential. You’ll find a collaborative, inclusive work environment that values open communication, ongoing education, and career pathways that keep you motivated and engaged. When you join us, you’re joining a community that believes in elevating nurses and enhancing patient outcomes through teamwork, innovation, and a shared commitment to excellence in geriatric care.
