Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where every shift offers the chance to touch lives, support independence, and shape a resident’s daily experience. Beginning 03/02/2026 for a multi-week assignment with guaranteed 36 hours per week, you will earn between $945 and $985 per week as you provide compassionate, expert nursing care. Picture yourself guiding residents through chronic conditions, coordinating treatments, and promoting dignity in a setting that values empathy as much as clinical skill. Beyond the unit walls, New Mexico unfolds its own beauty: red desert landscapes, the majestic Sandia Mountains, the historic charm of Old Town Albuquerque, and a bounty of nearby wonders such as Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands. The state’s diverse beauty invites downtime refreshment and exploration, helping you recharge after a fulfilling day on the floor and fueling your passion to deliver exceptional care.
Location Benefits: Albuquerque blends urban energy with outdoor access, a thriving cultural scene, and a welcoming community that underscores the human side of healthcare. You’ll enjoy the advantages of a city that offers culinary variety, arts, and outdoor recreation, all within reach of your work-life balance. For traveling professionals, there’s also the option to broaden your horizons by working in various locations across the United States, expanding your clinical repertoire, building a robust professional network, and experiencing different care environments—from serene long-term care settings to bustling facilities in metro areas. Expect predictable scheduling, meaningful patient relationships, and the chance to immerse yourself in a community while gaining exposure to a range of geriatric care practices. Housing assistance and extension opportunities add further support, helping you settle in, grow, and extend your rewarding journey with us while maintaining stability and focus on patient care.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll deliver essential bedside and coordinated nursing care under supervision, ensuring residents receive attentive, comprehensive support tailored to their evolving needs. Key responsibilities include administering medications accurately and safely, monitoring vital signs and symptom changes, performing wound care, assisting with activities of daily living, and helping manage chronic conditions within a multidisciplinary team. You’ll participate in individualized care planning, document thoroughly in electronic medical records, and contribute to the development and adjustment of nursing interventions that promote safety, comfort, and independence. You’ll assist with preventative measures, infection control, fall prevention, respiratory support, and palliative care considerations while maintaining clear, compassionate communication with residents, families, and colleagues. The role also involves collaborating with RNs, CNAs, therapists, and social services to coordinate care transitions and ensure continuity across shifts and settings. There are abundant opportunities for professional growth within long-term care—specialized trainings, certifications in wound care or geriatric assessments, and pathways toward senior nursing roles or team leadership.
Beyond clinical duties, you’ll benefit from a comprehensive package designed to recognize your expertise. Competitive compensation includes a weekly pay range of $945–$985, with guaranteed 36 hours per week. A bonus structure acknowledges your dedication and performance, while housing assistance eases relocation concerns and supports a smooth transition into the Albuquerque community. Extension opportunities enable you to continue expanding your impact in LTC across assignments, further enriching your professional journey. We provide 24/7 support for traveling clinicians, ensuring you have immediate access to assistance, resources, and guidance whenever you need it—whether troubleshooting a clinical scenario, navigating a new facility, or arranging logistics on the road. Our onboarding and ongoing resources equip you with the tools to thrive as you adapt to different facilities, cultures, and patient populations, while our travel specialists help streamline contracts, licensing, and compliance so you can focus on care.
