While guaranteed hours are not provided (0.0), you will enjoy the flexibility to align with your availability and the facility’s needs, with extension opportunities available based on performance, ongoing demand, and successful collaboration with the travel program. Skowhegan and the state of Maine offer a compelling backdrop for caregivers who believe in quality, enduring relationships with their patients. Picture autumns painted in brilliant reds and golds, winter curling up against a frosty dawn, and springs alive with fresh blooms along riverbanks. Skowhegan itself blends small‑town warmth with outdoor access: a stroll along the Kennebec River, nearby trails for hiking, and local seasonal activities that create balance between work and life. Beyond the town, Maine’s coastlines, lakes, and mountains invite weekend adventures and quiet moments of reflection—perfect complements to the steady, mission‑driven work of long‑term care. And for those who appreciate professional variety, our program offers opportunities to work in additional U.S. locations, expanding your experience while maintaining the core focus on resident wellbeing. Location benefits extend beyond scenery. You’ll contribute to a community‑oriented facility in Skowhegan, where interdisciplinary teamwork, strong family engagement, and a commitment to best practices shape daily care.

This blend of stability in Maine and breadth through nationwide opportunities supports both personal fulfillment and professional resilience. In addition to competitive compensation, the travel plan emphasizes a smooth transition between sites, with housing support where available and a streamlined process to minimize downtime between assignments. Role specifics and benefits are designed to equip you for success and growth within the long‑term care specialty. You’ll perform fundamental nursing duties under the supervision of registered nurses and physicians, including patient assessments, meticulous medication administration, wound care, infection control, and monitoring of vital signs and treatment responses. You’ll participate in comprehensive care planning, update and communicate with families, document care activities in electronic records, and ensure compliance with care protocols and safety standards. Collaboration with the care team—CNAs, RNs, social workers, and therapy staff—ensures holistic, person‑centered plans that reflect each resident’s preferences and evolving needs. The position emphasizes professional development: opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, take on leadership responsibilities such as charge nurse roles, and participate in evidence‑based practice initiatives that elevate patient outcomes. We support you with structured orientation, on‑the‑job mentoring, and access to continuing education resources, so you can expand your clinical capabilities while delivering compassionate, individualized care. Beyond clinical duties, you’ll receive a robust package of benefits that recognizes the value you bring. A competitive weekly pay range is complemented by a signing bonus as applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing costs, and the possibility of contract extensions that align with your career goals and lifestyle. The program is designed to be flexible—while guaranteed hours are not ensured, you’ll have the chance to optimize your schedule around preferred shifts and site availability. A dedicated, 24/7 support team stands ready to assist you as you travel between locations, ensuring help with housing logistics, local onboarding, timekeeping, and any on‑the‑road needs that arise.
