Long-term assignments, endless weeks away from home, and missing family time can take the joy out of travel nursing. At Southern Health Partners (SHP), we do things differently.
As a Medical Coverage Nurse (Full-Time LPN), you’ll enjoy:
✅ Competitive Pay without being gone for months on end
✅ Weekly Home Time while still seeing new places & meeting new faces
✅ Paid Travel & Per Diems – hotels, meals, and mileage covered in advance
✅ Career Stability – full-time hours (36+ per week) in Kentucky correctional facilities near you
This is not short-term travel far away from home. Instead, it’s a chance to build a long-term nursing career supporting correctional teams while balancing your personal life.
