Tuscumbia, AL
Contracted
Cottage of the Shoal
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, starting 04/01/2026, and bring compassionate care, skilled hands, and a steady heartbeat to residents who rely on your expertise daily. This role places you in the heart of Alabama’s warm, close-knit communities, where your days are spent enabling dignity, comfort, and thriving independence for seniors. Picture yourself making meaningful connections, seeing the same faces grow more confident with your steady guidance, and witnessing the quiet gratitude that follows a job well done. Alabama offers not only a welcoming work environment but also a tapestry of beautiful places to explore—undulating landscapes along the Tennessee River, the serene charm of small towns, nearby lakes for weekend escapes, and a culture rooted in hospitality. In particular, Tuscumbia shines with a friendly footprint, rich local history, and a thriving sense of community—an ideal backdrop as you begin a fulfilling travel nursing experience that can expand beyond a single assignment. And as you settle into Alabama’s inviting pace, you’ll find you’re part of something larger than a shift: you’re contributing to a standard of care that sustains families, preserves independence, and uplifts caregivers.

Location benefits go beyond your daily commute. Working in Tuscumbia—or other Alabama facilities within the network—provides you with supportive colleagues, a stable community, and practical amenities designed to help you thrive on assignment. You’ll also have the chance to broaden your horizons by taking assignments at partner facilities across the United States, gaining exposure to a range of long-term care settings—from intimate residential wings to larger continuum-of-care campuses. Each location opens doors to new professional experiences, enhanced clinical skills, and the opportunity to adapt your nursing practice to diverse resident needs while keeping a consistent standard of compassionate, person-centered care.

In this role, your responsibilities center on delivering high-quality long-term care that respects residents’ autonomy and enhances quality of life. You’ll assess, plan, implement, and evaluate patient care under the supervision of a registered nurse, administer medications, monitor vital signs, and respond to acute changes with composure and clinical acumen. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, coordinate with families and the broader care team, and document outcomes to inform ongoing care plans. The environment is collaborative, with a clear emphasis on continuity of care, adherence to safety protocols, and proactive problem-solving. As you grow in this specialty, you’ll gain confidence in managing complex chronic conditions, supporting fall prevention, wound care, and restorative therapies that empower residents to maintain independence. The role also invites professional growth through mentorship, ongoing training opportunities, and potential stepwise responsibility as you demonstrate clinical excellence and leadership in daily practice.

Competitive benefits and unique support are central to the package. Expect a competitive weekly pay range of $613 to $667, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, making budgeting predictable even as you travel between assignments. A sign-on or completion-oriented bonus structure may be available, alongside housing assistance to ease transition into new locales. There are extension opportunities—your contract can evolve as you demonstrate impact, reliability, and a commitment to resident well-being. The company’s comprehensive support system runs 24/7, ensuring you’re never navigating shifts or emergencies alone while traveling. From onboarding and credentialing to on-going clinical support and travel coordination, you’ll have a dedicated team standing by to answer questions, troubleshoot scheduling, and help you seize every opportunity to refine your practice.

The company values what you bring to the floor: your expertise, your compassion, and your dedication to empowering residents and teammates. They’re committed to creating an environment where staff can grow professionally, expand responsibilities, and advance toward their career goals. You’ll find a culture that respects work–life balance, encourages continual learning, and recognizes the vital role LPNs play in sustaining a caring, efficient long-term care ecosystem. The organization’s ethos centers on supporting your development while maintaining a compassionate, resident-first approach to care—an environment designed to nurture confidence, expertise, and job satisfaction.

Ready to apply and start an impactful chapter? This is more than a travel assignment—it’s an invitation to join a team that values your clinical skill, respects your contributions, and fosters your professional growth across locations. If you’re an LPN with a passion for long-term care and a desire to make a real difference in residents’ daily lives, this opportunity offers not only competitive compensation but a pathway to broader experiences, ongoing mentorship, and a supportive network that travels with you. Explore Alabama’s welcoming communities, then broaden your horizon with assignments across the U.S.—all while delivering exceptional care, building lasting relationships, and advancing your nursing career in a nurturing, forward-thinking organization.
