And if you love exploring, West Virginia offers a tapestry of natural beauty—from the rolling Allegheny foothills to scenic trails and vibrant fall colors—providing inviting getaways during time off.

The base assignment lets you enjoy genuine West Virginia charm, southern hospitality, and proximity to outdoor recreation, including parks, forests, and easy drives to broader scenic getaways.

This role offers meaningful professional growth within geriatrics and long-term care, including opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, enhance wound care competencies, and participate in quality improvement initiatives. The position emphasizes not only competitive pay but also a structured support system: a signing or retention bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, and clear potential for contract extensions based on facility demand and performance. You’re never alone on the road, with 24/7 support from the traveling team to assist with scheduling, emergencies, and any clinical or logistical questions that arise. Comprehensive orientation and ongoing mentorship ensure you’re comfortable navigating facility protocols, electronic health records, and the specific needs of residents in different care settings. The combination of steady guaranteed hours and the flexibility of week-to-week assignments allows you to balance professional growth with personal commitments, while contributing to a culture that prioritizes safety, dignity, and dependable care.
