This weeks-long travel assignment, starting 03/28/2026 in Jacksonville, North Carolina, invites you to bring clinical skill and heartfelt compassion to a community that truly values the human connection at the heart of caregiving. Beyond the daily duties, you’ll have the chance to explore North Carolina’s diverse landscapes—from sun-drenched Atlantic beaches to quaint coastal towns and lush inland trails—renewing your spirit and enriching your perspective as you care for others.
Location benefits extend beyond the bedside. Jacksonville sits in a vibrant coastal region with a tight-knit community feel, military heritage, and ready access to outdoor recreation and culture. The state of North Carolina offers a welcoming climate, rich history, and world-class coastline just a short drive away, giving you opportunities for downtime that recharge your professional focus. And for clinicians seeking broader horizons, this assignment includes the potential to work in various locations across the U.S., expanding your professional network, exposing you to different LTC models, and sharpening your adaptive nursing skills in a variety of regulatory environments. You’ll gain exposure to diverse resident populations and care settings, all while returning to a familiar, supportive community at week’s end.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to empower you to deliver exceptional care while advancing your professional trajectory. As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll collaborate with RNs and the broader care team to ensure comprehensive, compassionate care that respects each resident’s goals and preferences. Key responsibilities include direct patient care under supervision, timely administration of medications within your scope of practice, monitoring and documenting vital signs and changes in condition, wound care, and ensuring safety through falls prevention and infection control. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, participate in interdisciplinary care planning, coordinate closely with physicians and families, and document care plans and progress with precision. The role also emphasizes professional growth, with pathways to leadership roles, charge nurse responsibilities, or specialty certification within long-term care as you demonstrate reliability, clinical acumen, and strong communication skills.
Benefits go beyond competitive pay. You’ll have access to a bonus program, housing assistance, and extension opportunities to tailor the assignment to your professional and personal needs. The weekly pay range of $1,246–$1,335 reflects the value placed on your skill and dedication, with the understanding that hours and final compensation are subject to variation and will be confirmed during the hiring process.
