Long Term Acute Care Nurse (LTAC RN)

Nursefinders

Job Description

Job Description

Provide advanced care for patients with complex, long‐term needs.

We’re seeking experienced LTAC Registered Nurses who excel in managing medically complex patients requiring extended hospital‐level care. If you thrive in high‐acuity environments and enjoy building continuity with patients over longer stays, this role offers meaningful, impactful work every shift.

Schedule

  • 7a or 7p | 12‐Hour Shifts
  • Per Diem flexibility

What You’ll Do

  • Provide comprehensive nursing care to patients with complex, chronic, and high‐acuity medical conditions
  • Perform detailed patient assessments and monitor clinical status throughout extended stays
  • Manage ventilators, tracheostomies, complex wounds, central lines, and IV therapies
  • Administer medications, titratable drips, and treatments per provider orders
  • Collaborate with physicians, respiratory therapists, case management, and interdisciplinary care teams
  • Support patient progression toward stabilization, recovery, or transition to the next level of care
  • Educate patients and families on treatment plans, disease processes, and long‐term care needs
  • Identify and respond promptly to changes in patient condition
  • Document assessments, interventions, and outcomes accurately in the medical record

What We’re Looking For

  • Active RN license in the state of practice
  • Minimum of 1 year of recent LTAC, ICU, Step‐Down, or acute care hospital RN experience required
  • BLS required (ACLS preferred)
  • Strong assessment, critical‐thinking, and care‐coordination skills
  • Experience caring for ventilator‐dependent or medically complex patients
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a high‐acuity, fast‐paced environment
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team‐focused approach

Why You’ll Love This Opportunity
You’ll care for patients who truly benefit from consistency and advanced nursing expertise—working closely with interdisciplinary teams while enjoying the flexibility of per diem scheduling.
