About The Position

Embark on a fulfilling journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, anchored in Lincoln, Nebraska, with an expansive travel program that opens doors to assignments across the United States. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to make a lasting difference in the lives of residents who depend daily on your skill, compassion, and steady leadership. Begin on 02/09/2026 for a weeks‑long assignment with guaranteed hours, and discover how a nationwide network of care centers can amplify your impact while you stay rooted in service, growth, and purpose. In this role, you’ll find not only clinical challenges to master but the satisfaction of knowing you’re providing comfort, dignity, and continuity of care to some of our most vulnerable neighbors. Nebraska’s capital sits at the heart of a welcoming region, offering a blend of small-town warmth and metropolitan accessibility. Lincoln boasts clean, friendly neighborhoods, a robust park system, and a thriving arts and dining scene that adds quality to everyday life. The city’s family-friendly atmosphere, safe streets, and strong sense of community make it a great base for a travel nurse seeking balance between meaningful work and downtime. And for those who love exploration, the travel program presents opportunities to work in varied settings across the U.S.—allowing you to experience different facilities, teams, and resident populations while continuing to grow as a clinician. If you prefer staying closer to home, Lincoln’s healthcare network is strong, collaborative, and supportive, with ample opportunities to connect with mentors and peers who share your commitment to compassionate geriatric care. In this LPN Long-Term Care role, you’ll be a pivotal member of the interdisciplinary team, delivering high‑quality, person‑centered nursing to residents in skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care settings. Your responsibilities will revolve around promoting safety, comfort, and independence: performing comprehensive nursing assessments under supervision, administering medications, and monitoring vital signs with precision. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, support nutrition and hydration needs, and help implement individualized care plans crafted by RNs and physicians. You’ll participate in care coordination—communicating changes in condition, documenting interventions clearly, and ensuring seamless handoffs at shift changes. Wound care, skin integrity, incontinence management, fall prevention, and infection control will be essential elements of your daily practice. You’ll also help with mobility support, airway clearance, and rehabilitation activities designed to preserve function and dignity. In addition, you’ll provide compassionate end-of-life support and family education when appropriate, always upholding the resident’s goals and preferences. The role offers rich opportunities to broaden your clinical horizons, including geriatric syndromes, pharmacologic management, palliative approaches, and advanced care planning, while you develop leadership and mentorship skills within the LTC setting. We pride ourselves on offering robust professional growth opportunities. You’ll have access to extensions on assignments when you and the facility align, allowing continuity for residents and a sense of stability for you. Our program provides pathways to advance your expertise in long-term care, with support for certification, continuing education credits, and skill-building activities that complement your daily nursing duties. You’ll be mentored by experienced clinicians and supported by an devoted team that values your input and clinical judgment. The position also emphasizes a holistic approach to care, integrating social work referrals, activity programming collaboration, and family engagement to enhance resident well‑being. This is a chance to expand your scope while staying focused on the core competencies that make LPNs indispensable in long-term care settings. Competitive benefits underscore the value we place on your expertise and dedication. The weekly pay range of $1,358 to $1,461 reflects the demand for skilled LTC nursing and recognizes the commitment you bring to each shift. You’ll receive guaranteed hours—36 per week—providing predictability for your schedule and finances. In addition, a sign‑on bonus recognizes your readiness to contribute from day one, while housing assistance helps remove a common travel hurdle so you can focus on patient care. We also offer opportunities for contract extensions, giving you the option to deepen your experience with facilities you enjoy and to advance within our network. Around the clock support is a cornerstone of our program: 24/7 assistance and resources are available to you as you travel, ensuring you’re never alone in navigating shifts, travel logistics, or clinical questions. You’ll also gain access to a supportive recruiter team and resources designed to streamline onboarding, credentialing, and smooth transitions between assignments. Our company values empower you to grow, succeed, and feel valued every day. We are deeply committed to your career advancement and to fostering a work environment where your voice matters. You’ll be part of a culture that emphasizes collaboration, respect, and open communication—where nurses are encouraged to lead, where quality improvement efforts are shared, and where your clinical judgment is trusted. The organization supports ongoing development, recognizes accomplishments, and provides pathways for advancement into leadership roles, educator positions, or specialty projects within long‑term care. Whether you’re looking to broaden your clinical repertoire, pursue specialty training, or guide newer nurses, you’ll find the encouragement and resources you need to reach the next level in your career.

This is your chance to join a company that values your contributions, supports your professional development, and helps you build a resilient, rewarding career through diverse assignments, strong benefits, and unwavering backing from a team that cares.
