Job Description

Introduction
Embark on a purpose‑driven travel assignment as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in Alturas, California, and bring compassionate, hands‑on care to communities that value dignity, safety, and quality nursing. This specialized LPN opportunity places you at the core of patient care teams, where every assessment, every medication administration, and every patient education moment contributes to smoother recoveries and stronger well‑being. You’ll operate in environments that honor your expertise while offering growth pathways within the specialty, all backed by a robust support framework designed for traveling clinicians. The role starts on November 24, 2025, for a contract measured in weeks, with the chance to extend based on performance and mutual fit. As you step into this responsible, trusted position, you’ll witness the tangible difference skilled LPNs make in rural clinics, nursing homes, and community health settings, helping patients maintain comfort and independence even in challenging moments. California’s varied landscapes welcome you beyond the bedside—you’ll find beauty in the region’s open spaces, historical towns, and vibrant communities, offering a balanced rhythm of work and exploration that keeps you energized and engaged.

Location Benefits
Alturas, perched in the scenic Modoc County, is a welcoming hub for reliable, patient‑centered care, offering a peaceful pace and a strong sense of community. Working here means you’ll enjoy stability, clear pathways to clinical impact, and a supportive team that values your reliability and judgment. The assignment also provides the flexibility to work across different locations within the United States, allowing you to experience diverse clinical environments—from rural clinics to hospital floors—while maintaining the security of a well‑structured travel program. In Alturas, you’ll benefit from a tight‑knit local ecosystem, with opportunities to engage in outdoor pursuits during downtime: hiking along forest trails, fishing by tranquil streams, or simply taking in breathtaking desert‑highland sunsets. California’s beauty—from the Modoc Plateau to nearby national forests and scenic byways—offers inviting off‑duty experiences that refresh your perspective and enrich your professional storytelling. Practical advantages accompany the scenery: competitive weekly pay, ranging from $1,643 to $1,703, with guaranteed 36 hours per week, and comprehensive housing assistance to ease relocation. If you crave broader experiences, the program offers extension opportunities and the option to rotate through different sites while you stay connected to a dependable support network.

Role Specifics and Benefits
As an LPN in this travel assignment, you’ll deliver essential nursing care under the supervision of RNs and physicians, with responsibilities tailored to dynamic, multi‑site settings. Your daily duties may include conducting focused patient assessments, monitoring vital signs, administering prescribed medications, assisting with wound care and ostomy care, performing basic clinical procedures delegated by licensed staff, and supporting discharge planning and patient education. You’ll document clearly in electronic medical records, participate in care planning conferences, and reinforce safety protocols to reduce risk and improve comfort. There is a clear path for professional growth within the LPN specialty—opportunities to expand clinical competencies, cross‑train in adjacent units, or take on mentorship roles with newer travel nurses. The package reflects your expertise: a competitive pay range with a guaranteed minimum of 36 hours per week, plus a signing or performance bonus where applicable, and housing assistance to minimize relocation stress. You’ll also have the chance to extend the contract if you connect well with the team and the facility’s needs align with your career goals. A cornerstone of this program is unwavering support—24/7 assistance while traveling with the company ensures you’re never alone on a new assignment, with coordinators ready to help with scheduling, site onboarding, or any emergencies that arise. This structure empowers you to focus on clinical excellence while enjoying predictable, transparent terms of engagement and the security of a reliable community behind you.
