Step into a purpose-filled role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift offers the chance to brighten the days of residents who write their own unique stories. In South Dakota’s welcoming communities, including the charming town of Flandreau, you’ll blend practical skill with compassionate care to support independence, dignity, and comfort for seniors navigating chronic conditions and the rhythms of aging. From the expansive, open skies to serene parks and nearby cultural offerings, South Dakota brings a balance of quiet reflection and vibrant community life that enhances the reward of daily care. This placement starts March 23, 2026, for a multi-week assignment that honors your expertise while delivering the consistency of a guaranteed schedule and dependable income.

Location benefits go beyond the patient bedside. In Flandreau, you’ll enjoy a close-knit community that values teamwork, respectful communication, and work–life balance, with affordable housing options and an inviting, small-town atmosphere. The position also provides the exciting opportunity to work in various locations across the United States, enriching your professional experience with diverse facilities, resident populations, and care models. You’ll gain exposure to different memory care programs, wound care protocols, mobility support, and interdisciplinary collaboration, all while maintaining the continuity you rely upon for professional growth. This role is designed to keep you anchored with solid hours and meaningful assignments, yet flexible enough to broaden your clinical horizons when you’re ready for the next chapter. The combination of local charm and national exposure makes this a uniquely rewarding way to practice nursing where care meets community.

Role specifics and benefits are thoughtfully aligned to empower you as a clinician and as a mentor to the care team. Your responsibilities will include direct patient care, accurate medication administration, monitoring vital signs, and regular assessments that inform updated care plans. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, promote safety, manage wound care and infection prevention, support mobility and therapy goals, and document thoroughly to ensure continuity of care. You’ll collaborate with RNs, physicians, social workers, and families to coordinate therapies, manage behavior plans, and advocate for residents’ preferences and routines. The role also offers significant opportunities for professional growth within the long-term care specialty—whether you’re advancing in geriatric nursing, pursuing wound care competencies, or expanding skills in memory care strategies and palliative approaches. Benefits are designed to attract and retain top talent: a competitive weekly pay range of $1,441–$1,514, with guaranteed hours of 40 per week, and the potential for a sign-on bonus. You’ll receive housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing challenges, as well as extension opportunities to continue your impactful work beyond the initial assignment. Our program includes robust support for traveling clinicians, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated team while you’re on assignment. You’ll have access to resource teams, clinical mentors, and systems designed to help you navigate any challenge with confidence and grace.

Company values center on empowering staff to excel through ongoing development and a supportive, inclusive work environment. The organization is committed to supporting career advancement, recognizing your contributions, and fostering a culture where questions are welcome and growth is expected. You’ll find clear pathways for advancement, continuous education opportunities, and the encouragement to lead by example in compassionate geriatric care. A collaborative atmosphere means you’re never navigating complex cases alone—you’ll be part of a network that values your input, respects your expertise, and backs you with the tools you need to achieve your best practice.
