You’ll contribute to accurate charting, participate in care planning, and collaborate closely with registered nurses, physicians, and therapy teams to adjust plans as needed. The role also invites you to grow professionally: pursue geriatrics-focused certifications, take advantage of mentorship opportunities, and deepen your leadership skills by guiding certified nursing assistants and new staff. Competitive benefits are a cornerstone of this assignment: a weekly pay range of $1,979–$2,056, with a potential sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and options for contract extensions as needs evolve. The program emphasizes comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance while you travel with the company, a dedicated travel concierge, and resources to streamline licensure, credentialing, orientation, and ongoing clinical support.
