Travel Licensed Practical Nurse Long-Term Care Job

Take a meaningful step forward as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, joining a dedicated travel team that delivers high‑quality, compassionate care to residents in Vermont’s South Burlington area. This role invites you to blend hands‑on clinical skill with patient‑centered empathy, shaping daily experiences for seniors, supporting families, and collaborating with an interdisciplinary team to ensure safety, comfort, and dignity. As you begin on 03/31/2026 for a weeks‑long assignment with Guaranteed Hours: 40.0 per week, you’ll bring your practical nursing expertise to a facility that values reliability and thoughtful care. In addition to delivering essential nursing tasks, you’ll mentor peers, contribute to personalized care plans, and help create an environment where residents feel seen and understood. Vermont’s unique blend of small‑town charm and vibrant regional culture offers more than a backdrop; it provides opportunities to recharge between shifts and to explore outdoor adventures, cultural events, and local restaurants. Separately, you can revel in the state’s natural beauty—from the Green Mountains to tranquil lakes and scenic byways—that makes downtime equally rewarding and restorative.

Location benefits: South Burlington places you in a community known for its welcoming healthcare network, easy access to Burlington’s cultural offerings, and a lifestyle that blends professional growth with outdoor recreation. This assignment provides the stability of a structured schedule while offering the chance to be placed at partner facilities across Vermont and, at times, other locations in the United States. Exposure to diverse patient populations and care settings enhances clinical acumen and adaptability, while the region’s walkable neighborhoods, nearby hiking trails, farmer’s markets, and vibrant dining scene support a balanced, enriching experience outside of work. The combination of high‑quality long‑term care environments and the natural beauty of New England creates an inspiring backdrop for making a lasting impact on residents and families alike.

Role specifics and benefits: Core responsibilities include administering medications and treatments within state scope, conducting routine assessments, monitoring vital signs, assisting with activities of daily living, wound care, and basic procedures, and documenting precisely in electronic health records. You’ll contribute to care planning, participate in falls prevention initiatives, nutrition support, and palliative measures as appropriate, and collaborate closely with physicians, therapists, social workers, and family caregivers to ensure continuity of care. This role offers meaningful opportunities for professional growth within geriatric nursing, including enhanced competencies in chronic disease management, rehabilitation support, and care coordination. Competitive benefits include a sign‑on bonus, housing assistance, and potential contract extensions, enabling continued engagement beyond a single assignment. You’ll enjoy comprehensive support from our travel team with 24/7 assistance while you’re on the road, ongoing orientation, and resources to help navigate licensure, compliance, and seamless transitions between assignments. Weekly pay ranges from $1,863 to $1,992, with all shifts designed to honor your time, dedication, and expertise, alongside the security of guaranteed hours.

Company values: Our company is deeply committed to empowering staff, offering transparent career pathways, and fostering a supportive work environment where your experiences shape the care you deliver.
