Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, where every shift offers the chance to touch lives with competence, compassion, and steady presence. In this travel-friendly assignment, you’ll provide essential nursing care to residents in skilled nursing settings, guiding comfort, safety, and independence through thoughtful hands-on care, careful monitoring, and collaborative care planning. Your clinical expertise will encompass medication administration, daily living support, wound care, symptom management, and clear, respectful communication with residents and their families. This opportunity begins on 04/20/2026 and unfolds over several weeks, with the potential to extend based on facility needs and your professional goals. Newton, New Jersey, offers a serene backdrop for meaningful work, where tree-lined streets, charming shops, and a close-knit community invite you to settle into a rhythm that balances purpose with restful moments between shifts. And beyond Newton, this program opens doors to similar rewarding placements across the U.S., allowing you to broaden your experience while staying connected to a core mission of care.

Location benefits start with Newton’s inviting surroundings in Sussex County, where the landscape blends rural charm with accessible amenities. You’ll have the chance to work in a community that values elder care and patient dignity, with opportunities to explore nearby parks, scenic byways, and quiet corners ideal for reflection after a demanding day. For those who crave variety, the program offers placements across diverse locations nationwide, giving you exposure to different facilities, patient populations, and care models—an excellent way to sharpen expertise, expand professional networks, and chart a path for long-term growth in geriatric and long-term care nursing. While you’re in New Jersey, you’ll enjoy the region’s culinary diversity, cultural events, and easy access to outdoor recreation—yet you’ll also have the flexibility to experience other landscapes and communities as you advance your career.

In this role, you’ll handle core responsibilities that underpin high-quality long-term care. You’ll perform skilled nursing assessments, monitor residents’ conditions, administer medications, and implement individualized care plans in collaboration with supervisors and interdisciplinary teams. You’ll support daily activities, ensure infection control practices, and document outcomes with accuracy and timeliness. You’ll mentor and communicate with certified nursing assistants and other care staff, promoting best practices and ensuring a compassionate, patient-centered atmosphere. The position offers clear pathways for professional growth within the long-term care specialty, including opportunities to take on leadership roles, expand clinical competencies, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that enhance resident well-being and safety. The generosity of this program is reflected in its benefits: a competitive weekly pay rate of $1,906 to $1,967, with guaranteed 40 hours per week, and the stability that comes from consistent scheduling. You’ll also have access to housing assistance to ease transition and relocation, plus options for contract extension should you and the facilities wish to continue the partnership beyond the initial period. In addition, you may receive a sign-on bonus or performance bonus where applicable, recognizing your expertise and commitment to excellent resident care. As you travel, you’ll be supported every step of the way with 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team, ensuring you have guidance, resources, and rapid problem-solving when you need it most.

Our company values nurses who empower residents through dignity, respect, and informed, evidence-based care. We’re committed to creating a workplace culture that elevates nursing practice and supports career advancement, while providing a collaborative and nurturing environment. You’ll be part of a community that recognizes your contributions, celebrates your professional development, and helps you navigate exciting opportunities to expand your scope in long-term care. The journey is as much about your growth as it is about resident outcomes—our model is built on mentorship, ongoing education, and a clear path to broader leadership roles for those who seek them. You’ll experience comprehensive administrative and clinical support, ensuring you can focus on delivering high-quality care while building confidence and resilience in a travel-intensive role.
