Your clinical expertise, steady bedside manner, and thoughtful communication will help residents manage chronic conditions, navigate transitions, and maintain their sense of autonomy.

New York is a state of diverse landscapes and vibrant communities, offering beauty and opportunity in equal measure. Picture tranquil days by the Finger Lakes, the forested majesty of the Adirondacks, and the historic charm of the Hudson Valley, offset by the energy and culture of bustling urban centers. Waterloo and nearby towns provide welcoming neighborhoods, farmers’ markets, scenic lakes, and walkable downtowns where you can unwind after meaningful work. Whether your time off means exploring wine country, taking a lakeside stroll, or enjoying tranquil countryside, this region invites rejuvenation, discovery, and a balanced lifestyle that complements a fulfilling nursing career. Location benefits go beyond a single site. Working in New York, including Waterloo, means access to supportive facilities and a cohesive network of colleagues who share best practices in long-term care. You’ll have opportunities to experience varied care settings within the state, broadening your clinical exposure while maintaining strong supervision and patient-centered standards. For nurses with an adventurous streak, there are travel options within our network to other communities across the U.S., allowing you to expand your horizons while maintaining a trusted support system and a consistent standard of care. Role specifics and benefits are designed to empower you. Core responsibilities include administering medications and treatments per physician orders, performing regular assessments and vital signs, assisting residents with activities of daily living, wound care and dressing changes, fall prevention, and safety rounding. You’ll document changes, communicate with supervising RNs and the broader care team, and participate in care planning and family education. You’ll lead with compassion, reinforce infection control, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives. The position offers competitive weekly pay between $1,378 and $1,464, with a promised focus on flexible, meaningful assignments and opportunities to extend your time with the program. A sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities are available to support your transition and ongoing engagement. 24/7 support is provided while you travel with the company, ensuring you have reliable assistance for any challenge that arises on the road.
