As a travel licensed vocational nurse, or LVN, your responsibilities are to provide patient care at a variety of locations as needed. You may work for a staffing agency that specializes in travel nurse placement or find freelance employment with medical facilities on a limited-term, contract basis. Your duties include checking patients’ vital signs, writing health assessments, monitoring patients for health changes, and assisting with basic medical and nonmedical tasks such as starting an IV, bathing, or mobility. You may also provide home health aid to patients who cannot easily travel to medical centers.
