Job Description
Embark on a transformative journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in the state of Washington, with a focused assignment in Tacoma that invites you to shape patient experience, elevate clinical care, and deepen your professional impact across diverse settings. This is your opportunity to translate empathy into evidence-based practice, to mentor teammates on the line, and to partner with physicians and care teams to ensure every patient receives thoughtful, competent, and timely care. As you step into this role, you’ll also have the chance to experience the beauty and vibrancy of Washington—from waterfront strolls along Tacoma’s riverfront to day trips into the surrounding natural wonders—while building a flexible career path that supports growth, learning, and mobility.
Tacoma, with its dynamic blend of urban charm and outdoor splendor, offers an inspiring backdrop for your next chapter. You’ll be able to enjoy the city’s thriving arts scene, verdant parks, and proximity to the Puget Sound, as well as easy access to the broader Pacific Northwest. This role isn’t limited to a single location; our nationwide travel program provides opportunities to work across the United States, broadening your clinical exposure, strengthening your adaptable skill set, and enriching your professional network. While your primary base for this assignment is Tacoma, you’ll also gain exposure to diverse patient populations and healthcare environments, from skilled nursing facilities to acute care units, all while maintaining the continuity and quality of care you’re known for.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your professional growth, your financial well-being, and your peace of mind. In this LPN position, you will conduct comprehensive patient assessments, monitor vital signs, administer medications and treatments, provide wound care, and assist with procedures under the supervision of registered nurses and physicians. You’ll collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to develop and implement individualized care plans, document progress accurately, and communicate effectively with patients and families to address concerns and expectations. The role emphasizes clinical excellence, critical thinking, and compassionate, patient-centered care. It’s an ideal environment to expand proficiency in med-surg, long-term care, post-acute rehabilitation, or other specialty tracks aligned with your interests, with structured pathways for continuing education and certification support. You’ll have access to continuous on-site and remote mentorship, hands-on skill refreshers, and targeted opportunities to refine assessment techniques, patient education delivery, and charting accuracy.
Beyond clinical duties, the position offers competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $1,772 to $1,893, reflecting the value you bring and the consistency you deserve. You’ll have guaranteed hours of 40 per week, providing financial predictability as you plan your days and adventures in the Pacific Northwest. The assignment spans several weeks with the flexibility to extend, giving you the chance to deepen relationships with patients and facilities, while exploring the region’s landscapes, culture, and communities. We also provide robust benefits designed to support your total well-being and career trajectory. Expect a competitive bonus opportunity, housing assistance to ease relocation and lodging costs, and extension opportunities that reward dedication and excellent performance with longer, continued placements.
Support at every step is a cornerstone of this program. You’ll receive 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring that you’re never alone when navigating unfamiliar facilities, schedules, or patient needs. Our team is dedicated to removing barriers so you can focus on delivering outstanding care: timely credentialing assistance, streamlined onboarding, access to clear communications, and responsive help with housing, travel logistics, and local resources. This comprehensive support network helps you stay centered on patient care while you build resilience, confidence, and occupational satisfaction in dynamic environments.
Company values center around your empowerment and growth. We are committed to fostering a culture that recognizes your expertise, rewards your dedication, and provides clear pathways for professional advancement. You’ll find a collaborative, supportive work environment where your clinical judgment is respected and your voices contribute to improvement initiatives, quality programs, and patient outcomes. We invest in your development through ongoing education, mentorship, and opportunities to expand your scope within the LPN role or to transition toward higher levels of practice as your career evolves. The emphasis is on sustainable career advancement framed by teamwork, compassion, integrity, and excellence in care delivery.
