Beginning on 02/02/2026, this multi-week assignment invites you to bring your leadership, adaptability, and patient-centered approach to a dynamic team, while you explore the rich culture and landscapes of the Southwest. As you nurse, mentor, and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, you’ll help elevate daily living, comfort, and safety for seniors who deserve the best possible care. And beyond the job, you’ll discover a state renowned for its striking beauty—from sun-drenched deserts and rolling mesas to crisp mountain air and vibrant arts scenes. New Mexico’s warmth and openness become a part of your professional journey, offering balance, inspiration, and renewal after every shift.
Location benefits extend beyond Albuquerque’s welcoming neighborhoods. Working in New Mexico means a cost-conscious lifestyle with access to diverse communities, a thriving dining and cultural scene, and easy weekend adventures—hiking trails in foothills, scenic drives past red rock formations, and opportunities to explore historic pueblos and artistic landmarks. For those who enjoy variety, there’s also the possibility to work across select locations within the U.S. on trusted telemetry-like assignments, expanding your network, widening your clinical perspective, and building a versatile resume that showcases your adaptability in different LTC environments. The combination of a stable base in Albuquerque with potential added travel destinations means you can savor the experience of residence-based care while embracing the excitement of travel nursing.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to accelerate your growth. As a Travel RN in LTC, you’ll deliver comprehensive bedside care, administer medications, monitor vitals, and participate in care planning, assessments, and documentation. You’ll lead and mentor team members, support infection control and fall-prevention initiatives, collaborate with physicians and therapists, and advocate for individualized care plans that reflect each resident’s goals and evolving needs. Your clinical impact will extend to wound care, rehabilitation support, and symptom management, with opportunities to expand your expertise through continuing education and specialty mentorship. The position comes with competitive benefits, including a sign-on-style bonus consideration, robust housing assistance, and opportunities to extend contracts based on performance and facility needs. You’ll have access to 24/7 support from our dedicated travel team, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone—whether you’re coordinating with the facility, arranging housing, or resolving scheduling nuances while you travel.
Important specifications accompany this opportunity. Weekly pay ranges from $2,047 to $2,091, reflecting the value of your experience, the complexity of LTC assignments, and the demand in the region. The schedule is designed with flexibility in mind to align with staffing needs while honoring your need for meaningful patient contact and professional satisfaction. The contract covers weeks of assignment, with the option to discuss extensions based on mutual fit and facility requirements.
