Travel Licensed Practical Nurse Long-Term Care Job
Belen, NM
Contracted
Belen Meadows Center
Mid Level
Step into a purposeful role as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, and embark on a dynamic travel assignment built for caregivers who are ready to make a measurable difference in residents’ lives. Beginning on 02/02/2026, you’ll bring skilled bedside care to diverse long-term care settings across New Mexico, with a primary assignment in Belen and the flexibility to extend your journey to additional facilities throughout this rewarding field. This opportunity blends hands-on clinical mastery with collaborative teamwork, empowering you to apply precise medication administration, comprehensive assessments, risk monitoring, and compassionate interventions that enhance comfort, safety, and dignity for aging adults. As you navigate care plans, coordinate with interdisciplinary teams, and respond to evolving needs, you’ll experience meaningful professional growth while enriching your own understanding of geriatric care. If you’ve ever wanted to combine steadfast nursing excellence with travel and personal discovery, this role invites you to expand your expertise and leave a lasting imprint on residents and families alike.
New Mexico is a landscape of color, culture, and opportunity. In the Belen area you’ll enjoy the pace of a welcoming community along the Rio Grande, where sunsets paint the sky with striking reds and golds, and the outdoors beckon on days off. Beyond the immediate setting, the state unfolds a tapestry of experiences—from the high desert and vast blue skies to the vibrant arts scenes of Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Weekend escapes can range from the surreal white sands of White Sands National Park to the dramatic caverns of Carlsbad, the rugged canyons of the Gila, and the scenic trails around the Sandia Mountains. Traveling within this program also means exposure to facilities across the U.S., offering you a broader perspective on long‑term care practices while you savor the unique warmth and hospitality that New Mexico residents share. This blend of locale-specific charm and nationwide opportunity creates a unique backdrop for professional development, cultural enrichment, and memorable personal experiences.
Role specifics and benefits: you will deliver high‑quality, resident‑centered nursing care in long‑term care settings, including routine assessments, medication administration, wound care, monitoring chronic conditions, and assisting with activities of daily living. You’ll participate in care plan development, document changes with accuracy, and escalate concerns in collaboration with licensed nurses, attending physicians, and therapy teams. You will contribute to seamless admissions and discharges, support infection control and safety protocols, and help cultivate a healing environment grounded in dignity and respect for each resident’s unique history. This assignment presents substantial professional growth within geriatrics: you’ll gain deeper proficiency in chronic disease management, restorative nursing, fall prevention, palliative considerations, and evidence‑based approaches to resident mobility and quality of life. The program offers competitive benefits designed to recognize your expertise, including a performance bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities for contract extensions that align with your goals. You’ll also appreciate the comprehensive support structure: a dedicated team available 24/7 to assist you while traveling, from onboarding and orientation to ongoing clinical resources and troubleshooting. Expect clear pathways for skill expansion and potential pathways toward lead roles or specialty certifications within long‑term care as you build tenure with the company.
You’ll find the support you need to thrive is baked into every facet of the program. A robust onboarding experience equips you with facility-specific procedures, electronic health record training, and the clinical refreshers to keep you confident in complex care scenarios. We understand travel can involve logistical hurdles, so housing assistance is provided to ease transitions, and your weekly compensation reflects competitive pay bands designed to recognize your critical role in resident well‑being. The program also offers extension opportunities, allowing you to extend a successful assignment to further develop clinical competencies, establish lasting relationships with residents and teams, and continue your personal and professional journey in the specialty you’ve chosen. Throughout your travel, you’ll benefit from 24/7 support—our teams are reachable around the clock to help with schedule changes, facility questions, or clinical needs—so you can focus on delivering compassionate, consistent care with confidence.
Company values: at the heart of our mission is a commitment to empowering licensed professionals to grow, learn, and advance within our supportive, collaborative culture.
