Travel Licensed Practical Nurse Long-Term Care Job

Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in Long-Term Care in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, beginning 03/23/2026. This opportunity is more than a role—it’s a chance to shape comfort, dignity, and daily well-being for residents who rely on empathetic, professional care. In this setting, your hands-on skills, your compassionate communication, and your steady presence will become a cornerstone of residents’ quality of life. And beyond the walls of the facility, Pennsylvania offers a tapestry of beauty and history—from the iconic skyline and historic neighborhoods of Philadelphia to the scenic avenues and rolling landscapes that define the Keystone State. Weekend escapes to the Pocono Mountains, the winding trails of state parks, and scenic drives along old rail towns provide refreshing transitions that compliment a purpose-driven career.

Location Benefits: Working in Philadelphia places you at the heart of a thriving healthcare community, with access to top-tier facilities, specialized teams, and ample opportunities for learning and collaboration. The city’s diverse patient populations offer rich learning experiences in geriatric care, chronic disease management, and palliative support within long-term care settings. If you crave variety, our travel program enables assignments across the United States, exposing you to different care models, regulatory environments, and interdisciplinary teams. This cross-location exposure expands your skill set, enhances your clinical judgment, and strengthens your professional network. Expect robust urban amenities, cultural experiences, and convenient transit options, balanced by the restorative nearby escapes that Pennsylvania’s countryside provides after a meaningful day with residents.

You’ll gain in-depth experience with geriatric comorbidities, restorative nursing, pain management, end-of-life care, and interdisciplinary team collaboration.

Mentorship from experienced clinicians helps you refine skills, expand clinical competencies, and prepare for advanced practice opportunities should you choose to pursue them.
- Competitive benefits: Enjoy a competitive compensation package with a weekly range of $1,265–$1,315 for a 40-hour work week, with a guaranteed minimum of hours. In addition, you’ll have access to a sign-on incentive where offered, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary lodging needs, and the option for contract extensions if you and the facility see a continued fit. Flexible scheduling and reliable payroll support ensure your compensation aligns with your dedication.
