Job Description
Step into a rewarding chapter as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in Utica, New York, where every shift is an opportunity to touch lives, ease anxieties, and advance your clinical skills within a compassionate, professional travel team. This dedicated LPN assignment places you at the heart of patient care, delivering essential nursing support across varied clinical settings while you experience the rich character of upstate New York. Begin December 29, 2025, and embrace a flexible arrangement that centers your growth, your patients, and your professional journey. As you chart your path, you’ll also have the chance to explore the state’s beauty—gentle hills around the Adirondacks, pristine waters of the Finger Lakes, the historic streets of Utica, and vibrant cultural options in nearby cities—each offering a new backdrop for personal renewal and inspiration.
Location benefits extend beyond a single city. Utica offers a welcoming community with a lower cost of living, easy access to outdoor recreation, and a robust network of medical facilities that value teamwork, innovation, and compassionate care. For travelers, this assignment opens doors to work in diverse locations across the United States, enriching your clinical perspective and expanding your professional connections. You’ll enjoy the opportunity to experience different patient populations, care models, and interdisciplinary teams, all while returning to a core base that respects your skill and your well-being. The region’s short commutes, vibrant local dining, and proximity to major hubs mean you can balance meaningful work with meaningful life experiences.
Role specifics and benefits begin with your primary responsibilities. As an LPN on assignment, you’ll provide direct patient care under the supervision of RNs and physicians, administering routine medications and treatments per protocol, performing accurate vitals and assessments, assisting with activities of daily living, wound care, and basic patient education. You’ll help monitor patient status, document observations clearly, and communicate changes promptly to the care team. Your days will involve collaborating within a multidisciplinary environment to plan, implement, and evaluate care plans, ensuring safety, comfort, and dignity for every patient. This role offers a clear path for professional growth within the LPN specialty, including opportunities to expand into lead LPN positions, contribute to unit-based initiatives, and pursue targeted certifications that align with facility needs and your career goals. The setting may vary—from acute care floors to outpatient clinics—giving you the versatility to broaden your expertise and demonstrate your adaptability.
Benefits in this travel opportunity are designed to recognize your expertise and support your lifestyle. In addition to competitive weekly compensation within the range of $1,461–$1,526, you can access a robust package that includes a bonus program, housing assistance, and options for contract extensions based on performance and facility demand. The inclusion of a possible bonus acknowledges outstanding performance, reliability, and teamwork, while housing support helps ease onboarding and daily life on assignment. Extension opportunities provide a clear mechanism to continue your impact beyond a single rotation, enabling you to deepen relationships with patients and colleagues while nurturing your professional development. You’ll also benefit from comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel team, ensuring you have help whenever you need it—whether you’re navigating clinical questions, housing logistics, or travel amenities.
Company values emphasize empowerment and a supportive work environment. The organization is committed to recognizing the vital role of frontline nurses and investing in your career progression. You’ll find a culture rooted in respect, ongoing learning, and collaboration, where experienced clinicians mentor new travelers and where your input helps shape care delivery and patient outcomes. The emphasis on professional development means you’ll have access to resources that strengthen clinical competencies, leadership capabilities, and the confidence to contribute meaningfully to care teams. A cooperative atmosphere, transparent communication, and a genuine commitment to well-being ensure you feel valued as soon as you join the team.
