Travel Registered Nurse (RN)

$42 - $50 per hour

Manor Care of Waterloo

Travel Registered Nurse (RN)
$42-$50 per hour | Flexible, Self-Directed Scheduling

Want the flexibility of travel nursing without having to leave Iowa or spend weeks away from home?

Legacy Healthcare is hiring Registered Nurses for our internal travel team. Choose when you work and how far you travel. Pick up available shifts near home, explore facilities across Iowa, or do a combination of both.

Why You'll Love This Role
  • Earn $42-$50 per hour
  • Build a schedule that works for you
  • Full time, part time, or PRN - we've got you covered!
  • Choose available shifts based on your preferred locations
  • Stay close to home or travel throughout Iowa
  • Enjoy variety without committing to one facility
  • Make an immediate difference for residents and nursing teams
Benefits may include medical, dental, and vision insurance; paid time off; 401(k); tuition reimbursement; and advancement opportunities based on eligibility.

What You'll Do

As a Travel RN, you will provide direct resident care and serve as the clinical leader for your assigned shift. Responsibilities include:
  • Administering medications and treatments
  • Monitoring and documenting changes in resident condition
  • Supervising CNAs, CMAs/QMAs, and other assigned nursing staff
  • Communicating with physicians, families, and facility leadership
  • Supporting admissions, transfers, wound care, and emergency response
  • Ensuring care is delivered safely and according to resident care plans
What You'll Need
  • Current, unencumbered Iowa RN license
  • Current CPR certification
  • Reliable transportation
  • Ability to work independently and adapt to different facility environments

Long-term care, skilled nursing, or Charge Nurse experience is preferred but not required.

Your license. Your schedule. Your choice of location.

Apply today to learn more about joining Legacy Healthcare's Iowa travel nursing team.

Legacy Healthcare is an equal opportunity employer.
