Mid Level
Step into a rewarding, purpose-driven role as a Registered Nurse in Long-Term Care in Gallup, New Mexico, where your clinical skill and compassionate leadership will elevate the daily lives of residents who rely on your dedication. In this LTC setting, you’ll blend expert assessment with hands-on nursing care, medication administration, and collaborative care planning to promote safety, comfort, and independence. You’ll interpret clinical data, respond quickly to changing conditions, and partner with families to navigate transitions with empathy and clarity. This assignment invites you to refine your geriatric practice, expand your repertoire in chronic disease management and palliative considerations, and leave a lasting positive imprint on a community that cherishes dignity and connection. Start February 9, 2026, for a multi-week engagement that guarantees 36 hours per week while offering competitive compensation and meaningful opportunities to grow your professional impact in a setting that values expert care and compassionate service.
Gallup, New Mexico, offers a compelling backdrop for your nursing career. Surrounded by striking desert landscapes, mesas, and dramatic sunsets, the area blends outdoor adventure with a warm, small-town atmosphere. You’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in a culture rich with art, music, and storytelling, while enjoying a pace that supports thorough, person-centered care. The location also provides convenient access to broader regional experiences—whether you’re exploring nearby scenic routes, visiting cultural sites, or taking weekend trips to other parts of New Mexico. For nurses who crave variety, there’s the potential to work in multiple locations across the U.S., broadening your professional horizons and enriching your practice while you contribute to resident well-being in diverse communities.
In this role, your key responsibilities will center on high-quality LTC nursing under the supervision of facility leadership. You’ll perform comprehensive assessments, develop and implement individualized care plans, and monitor residents’ conditions through accurate documentation and timely interventions. Medication administration, wound care, IV therapy support, and pain management will be essential components, alongside routine tasks such as catheter care, mobility assistance, nutrition support, and fall risk prevention. You’ll partner with interdisciplinary teams to coordinate therapies, rehabilitative services, and discharge planning, ensuring a smooth continuum of care. Documentation and compliance with regulatory standards will be critical, with meticulous attention to infection control, safety, and ethical decision-making. This role also emphasizes ongoing professional growth—opportunities to pursue advanced certifications in geriatric care, wound management, or palliative care, plus mentorship and leadership pathways as you demonstrate expertise and initiative.
The package includes competitive compensation, with weekly pay ranging from $1,537 to $1,648, reflecting the value you bring to a high-demand specialty. In addition to a competitive rate, you may qualify for a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities that allow you to continue making a difference beyond a single assignment. You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated team available 24/7 while you travel with the company, ensuring you have reliable resources, streamlined housing options, and on-the-ground guidance whenever you need it. The combination of financial rewards, pragmatic benefits, and robust support is designed to reduce administrative stress and empower you to focus on clinical excellence and meaningful resident relationships.
Our company values your professional development as a core priority. We are committed to empowering our staff with access to continuing education, hands-on mentorship, and clear pathways for career advancement within long-term care. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes a respectful, inclusive work environment where experienced nurses mentor newer colleagues, celebrate successes, and collaborate to raise the standard of care. By choosing this role, you’re aligning with a partner that recognizes your expertise and supports your goals as you grow into leadership roles, advanced practice opportunities, or specialized LTC responsibilities.
