This LTC nursing opportunity blends clinical autonomy with a welcoming, close-knit community, inviting you to apply your expertise across care planning, chronic disease management, mobility and fall prevention, and restorative services. As you guide care teams, mentor new staff, and partner with families, you’ll shape a patient-centered environment that honors residents’ values and preferences. Imagine the pride of seeing tangible improvements in daily functioning, comfort, and mood, all while contributing to a team devoted to excellence in geriatric care. This assignment aligns with your dedication to thorough assessments, precise documentation, and accountable care that supports residents and their loved ones. Beyond the role itself, Alaska offers experiences that are hard to match. Valdez sits amid pristine landscapes where glacier-fed waters meet rugged mountains, offering both tranquility and adventure. Picture daily opportunities to watch otters along the harbor, witness the aurora borealis in season, or embark on weekend explorations in Prince William Sound. The state’s dramatic scenery complements the professional experience, inviting resilience and balance as you recharge after shifts with outdoor recreation, local cultural events, and a community that values connection and stewardship.

The combination of a smaller, familiar locale with the chance to experience different facilities nationwide offers the best of both worlds—a stable, meaningful assignment at home when you want it, plus the flexibility to explore new communities and care models when you’re ready. Role Specifics and Benefits: In this assignment, you’ll perform comprehensive assessments, develop and implement individualized care plans, administer medications, monitor chronic conditions, manage wound and IV therapies as appropriate, and coordinate rehabilitative services to optimize residents’ quality of life. You’ll lead and mentor CNAs, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and ensure regulatory compliance through meticulous documentation and audits. A core path to professional growth exists here: you can deepen expertise in geriatric syndromes, pursue leadership or specialty pathways within LTC, and play a pivotal role in staff education and quality improvement initiatives. Competitive benefits include a sign-on or performance bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary stays, and opportunities to extend your initial assignment based on mutual fit and facility needs. You’ll have robust support to succeed everywhere you travel, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated company team, access to travel coordinators, and on-call nursing consultants. Start date is February 16, 2026, with an initial assignment of several weeks and potential for extensions depending on performance and facility demand.
