Step into a rewarding chapter as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, anchored in the vibrant city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This travel assignment is designed to empower you to deliver warm, patient-centered care to residents who rely on your expertise daily. You’ll play a pivotal role in maintaining comfort, dignity, and quality of life, while expanding your clinical skills in a supportive, team-oriented environment. Imagine guiding care plans, refining assessment skills, and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to elevate every resident’s experience. And beyond the bedside, the beauty of New Mexico awaits—sun-splashed days, breathtaking desert landscapes, and a tapestry of culture and history that makes every shift feel meaningful. Albuquerque’s unique blend of outdoor adventure and urban amenities offers the perfect backdrop for balance between professional purpose and personal renewal. Start date for this opportunity is 01/28/2026, and the assignment is scheduled for several weeks with the possibility of extension to align with facility needs and your career goals. While you’ll enjoy the local charm, there’s also potential to work at other locations across the United States through our expansive network, opening doors to diverse facilities, patient populations, and care models that will sharpen your expertise and broaden your professional horizons.
Location Benefits:
Working in Albuquerque affords a dynamic setting where healthcare excellence meets a welcoming community. You’ll experience a mild four-season climate, accessible outdoor recreation, and a thriving arts and food scene that makes every day engaging. The city serves as a gateway to the Southwest’s natural wonders—canyons, mesas, and trails that invite you to unwind after meaningful shifts. This role also presents the chance to participate in a broader national travel program, enabling you to rotate to additional locations across the U.S. if you wish, gaining exposure to varied long-term care facilities, resident demographics, and regulatory environments. Albuquerque’s healthcare landscape blends academic partnerships with community facilities, offering you a spectrum of clinical experiences while you grow your professional network. The combination of cultural richness, a relatively affordable cost of living, and the chance to see new places makes this assignment both professionally impactful and personally enriching.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
As a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, you’ll be the steady anchor of resident welfare, ensuring comfort, safety, and person-centered care. Your responsibilities will include administering medications under physician orders and facility protocol, performing timely and accurate assessments, updating care plans with the care team, and coordinating with RNs, physicians, therapists, and social services to align goals. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, monitor skin integrity and mobility needs, support rehabilitation exercises, manage acute issues as they arise, and document care activities with meticulous accuracy. You’ll play a crucial role in infection control, safety initiatives, and fall prevention, while contributing to a compassionate atmosphere that honors residents’ dignity and autonomy. This role offers a strong path for professional growth within the long-term care specialty, including opportunities to pursue certifications, expand clinical leadership responsibilities, and engage in quality improvement projects that impact resident outcomes.
Benefits you’ll appreciate include competitive weekly pay in the range of $966–$1,005, a completion bonus, and housing assistance to ease transition logistics. The program also provides extension opportunities, enabling you to continue building relationships with facilities and residents you’ve come to know. You’ll have access to robust support, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone. Our emphasis on mentorship and collaboration means you’ll work with experienced clinicians who value your input and invest in your development. We’ll help you sharpen skills in wound care, chronic disease management, palliative approaches, and culturally competent care to serve diverse resident populations with empathy and professionalism.
Company Values:
Our organization is grounded in empowering staff to thrive—through open communication, ongoing education, and a culture that prioritizes safety, respect, and career advancement. We’re dedicated to creating a work environment where your expertise is recognized, your goals are supported, and you feel equipped to grow into advanced practice roles or leadership tracks. You’ll join a collaborative team that respects your contributions, listens to your insights, and partners with you to design care that reflects the highest standards of long-term care. The emphasis is on a sustainable, supportive workplace where your well-being and professional journey are central.
