Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Gallup, New Mexico. This role puts you at the heart of compassionate elder care, where every shift is an opportunity to affirm dignity, restore comfort, and empower residents to maintain independence for as long as possible. You’ll guide daily routines, monitor chronic conditions, administer medications within scope, perform skilled nursing tasks, support wound care and infection prevention, assist with mobility and daily activities, and collaborate with physicians, social workers, and teams to adapt plans of care to evolving needs. Your contributions will help residents live with less pain, clearer communication, and brighter days. The opportunity also invites you to savor the magic of the SW landscape—red rock vistas, expansive blue skies, and a community enriched by tradition and artistry. And for those who crave broader horizons, this contract can open pathways to work at additional locations across the United States, expanding your professional repertoire while you explore diverse cultures and settings.

Working here, you’ll experience a pace that supports thoughtful, patient-centered care while still providing opportunities to connect with colleagues and families on a meaningful level.

If you’re drawn to variety, the assignment is structured to accommodate travel across multiple U.S. locations during the contract, delivering exposure to different LTC environments, regulatory nuances, and patient populations all while maintaining consistent professional standards. You’ll enjoy practical conveniences in town, along with nearby trails, scenic drives, and affordable housing options that help you stay focused on the care you provide. This balance of community, nature, and opportunity makes Gallup a meaningful anchor point in a broader, rewarding travel nursing experience across the country.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Long-Term Care LPN, you’ll be the steady hand residents rely on for precise nursing care, comfort measures, medication administration under supervision, and timely documentation in the electronic medical record. You’ll participate in care planning with the interdisciplinary team, identify changes in condition, collaborate on rehabilitation goals, support risk reduction, and promote safety in mobility and daily activities. You’ll play a key role in pain management, communication with families, and ensuring culturally competent care that respects residents’ preferences. The role offers a competitive compensation package with a weekly pay range of $976–$1,020, reflecting your skills and experience. A sign-on bonus may be available to recognize your commitment and expertise. Housing assistance is provided to ease transition and relocation concerns, and extension opportunities align with your career goals, offering continuity and growth within LTC settings. The schedule is designed to accommodate travel while prioritizing work-life balance, and while the stated hours are not guaranteed, you’ll have access to flexible scheduling and contract extensions that support your professional development. Importantly, you’ll have 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team—real-time assistance, guidance, and problem-solving whenever you need it, so you can focus on delivering compassionate care with confidence. Start Date is 02/01/2026, with the duration measured in weeks, tailored to your availability and the needs of the facility. Please note: the hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary.
