Begin a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where compassionate care meets the quiet grandeur of the Southwest. This multi‑week assignment, starting March 29, 2026, offers a consistent 36 guaranteed hours each week and a competitive range of weekly pay from $1,064 to $1,126. You’ll be part of a dedicated care team focused on dignity, comfort, and functional independence for residents who rely on your steady expertise. Imagine guiding residents through daily routines, pain control, medication management, and restorative activities that preserve quality of life, all while absorbing the unique rhythms of northern New Mexico. Beyond the clinical responsibilities, you’ll witness the beauty of this state—crisp high-desert mornings, the timeless adobe charm of Santa Fe, sunrise hues over the Sangre de Cristo mountains, and a thriving arts and cuisine scene that invites curiosity after shifts are done. This is a role where your hands-on skill makes a measurable difference and your courage to listen becomes part of healing.
Location Benefits: Santa Fe offers more than a job; it offers a lifestyle shaped by culture, climate, and community. You’ll work in a setting that blends high-quality long-term care with access to outdoor adventures, serene trails, and abundant sunshine. The region supports a balanced pace that honors both patient needs and personal well‑being. If you’re drawn to exploring broadly, the program also welcomes opportunities to work in diverse locations across the United States, expanding your professional horizons while maintaining a steady support system. In Santa Fe, you’ll enjoy a thriving arts scene, Spanish and Western culinary influences, a strong sense of history, and neighborhoods that emphasize safety and belonging. The surrounding landscapes—blue skies, red-hued canyons, and pine-smoked air—offer frequent weekend escapes and a well‑rounded, restorative backdrop to your nursing practice. You’ll have the chance to experience not only this city’s warmth but also the variety that comes with placements at partner sites nationwide, each offering new colleagues, residents, and learning opportunities that enrich your clinical toolkit.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this Long-Term Care assignment, you’ll deliver essential LPN support under the supervision of an RN, focusing on consistent, patient-centered care. Key responsibilities include administering prescribed medications, monitoring vitals, wound care, catheter and ostomy care when needed, and assisting residents with activities of daily living to promote dignity and autonomy. You’ll contribute to care planning, participate in interdisciplinary rounds, and document clinical progress to ensure seamless transitions and safety. You’ll engage families with compassionate communication, identify changes in condition, and respond promptly to requests and concerns. The role offers professional growth within the long‑term care specialty—opportunities to develop leadership skills, refine care coordination, and expand clinical competencies through ongoing education and mentorship. The package highlights competitive benefits, including a welcome or completion bonus, housing assistance to help you settle comfortably, and potential extension opportunities to continue your impact with continuity of care for residents. You’ll be supported by a robust framework designed to make travel and placement smooth: 24/7 support while traveling with the company, a dedicated travel care team, structured onboarding, and ongoing access to resources that ensure you never feel alone on assignment. A commitment to safety, quality, and respectful, person-driven care anchors every shift, supported by reliable scheduling and responsive operational support. Please note: the hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process. Start date and duration reflect the current assignment window and may be adjusted to align with staffing needs.
