This travel assignment for an LPN offers the chance to impact patients across diverse clinical settings while immersing yourself in one of the Southwest’s most vibrant communities. Begin on 02/09/2026 with a guaranteed 40 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,745 to $1,856, designed to recognize your experience and dedication. As a multi-week assignment, you’ll have the opportunity to extend your contract and explore additional locations, building a broad clinical toolkit while making lasting differences in patient outcomes. Imagine providing essential, patient-centered care in top-quality teams, while enjoying the year-round sunshine, rich cultural experiences, and outdoor adventures that Arizona has to offer. Tucson’s blend of Southwestern charm, modern amenities, and exceptional healthcare networks creates a uniquely rewarding backdrop for a clinician who values both professional significance and personal well-being. Arizona is a state of remarkable beauty and diverse landscapes, from the quiet majesty of the Sonoran Desert to the dramatic vistas of red rocks and expansive skies. In Tucson, you’ll experience a thriving cultural scene, exceptional food, and a climate that makes outdoor exploration a year-round delight. Beyond the city, the region offers easy access to mountain hikes, stargazing on clear desert nights, and weekend escapes to nearby gateways. The location benefits extend beyond scenery: you’ll join healthcare teams at respected facilities that emphasize quality patient care, evidence-based practice, and supportive collaboration. And for those drawn to broader horizons, the program invites assignments in varied locations across the United States, delivering fresh clinical experiences, new patient populations, and opportunities to expand your professional network while maintaining the stability of a consistent hours-based schedule. As an LPN in this travel role, you will contribute to essential patient care with a focus on safe, efficient, and compassionate treatment. Core responsibilities include performing routine assessments, monitoring vital signs, and administering medications under physician and nurse supervision in accordance with state regulations and facility policies. You’ll assist with planful patient care, wound and dressing changes when appropriate, regular documentation in electronic health records, and coordination with RNs, physicians, and ancillary staff to ensure timely interventions. Additional tasks may involve basic IV therapy under supervision, non-sterile dressing changes, specimen collection, and assisting with admissions, transfers, and discharges. This position supports a patient-directed approach, with emphasis on education for patients and families, adherence to infection control practices, and safety-focused care delivery. The role also offers exposure to diverse clinical areas—med-surg, post-acute, or specialty units—allowing you to refine your clinical judgment and expand your scope of practice through mentorship and specialty training opportunities. Location benefits extend beyond professional enrichment. Tucson and surrounding Arizona communities present a welcoming, resource-rich environment where work-life balance is attainable. You’ll be part of teams that value open communication, professional respect, and ongoing learning. For those who enjoy exploration, there are abundant recreational options after shifts: hiking in desert preserves, cycling along scenic routes, and enjoying the region’s vibrant arts and craft scenes. The opportunity to work in various U.S. locations keeps your career dynamic, enabling you to adapt to different patient populations, care models, and facility cultures while maintaining the stability of guaranteed hours. The assignment’s multi-site design promotes versatility, resilience, and a broader perspective on nursing practice—benefiting both your resume and your long-term career trajectory. Role-specific benefits and growth opportunities are a cornerstone of this assignment. You’ll gain hands-on experience delivering high-quality nursing care in fast-paced settings, with continued exposure to patient education, discharge planning, and collaborative care planning. The program emphasizes professional development through access to certifications, skill-building workshops, and cross-training in related specialties. You’ll have the chance to pursue targeted growth tracks, such as geriatrics, medical-surgical care, or acute care nursing fundamentals, empowering you to broaden your expertise and prepare for advancing roles. In addition to competitive compensation, you’ll be eligible for a sign-on or completion bonus depending on facility and assignment length, plus housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing costs. Extension opportunities are encouraged, enabling you to maintain momentum in your clinical journey and accumulate a robust portfolio of experiences.
