Silver City, NM
Contracted
Genesis - West Region - Silver City Care Center
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, where every shift is an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of residents who deserve dignity, comfort, and compassionate, consistent care. In Silver City, New Mexico, you’ll contribute essential hands-on support that sustains independence, preserves quality of life, and reinforces the trust families place in caregivers. Picture yourself guiding individualized care plans, monitoring health changes, administering medications safely, and mentoring support staff as part of a holistic care team. Your influence extends beyond daily routines—your clinical judgment, empathy, and collaborative spirit create environments where residents feel seen, heard, and valued. And as you embrace this role, you’ll also have the chance to discover the striking beauty of New Mexico’s landscapes—the rugged canyons, sunlit trails, and star-filled skies that invite exploration after meaningful days at work. Silver City offers a unique blend of community warmth and outdoor adventure, while the state’s dramatic scenery—from the Gila National Forest to historic mining towns—provides a living backdrop for a fulfilling lifestyle.
Location benefits are a central part of this opportunity. Silver City is renowned for its friendly neighborhoods, approachable pace, and access to outdoor recreation that supports balance and well-being. You’ll enjoy a welcoming community where residents value caregivers who bring expertise, patience, and a steady presence. The region’s mild climate often translates into more outdoor time with family and friends, whether you’re hiking shaded trails, soaking in natural hot springs, or simply enjoying a sunset over desert mesas. Beyond this locale, the position can offer the broader advantage of working in various U.S. locations through our travel programs, delivering exposure to diverse patient populations and facility settings. You’ll experience differences in administrative processes, interdisciplinary collaboration, and resident needs across states, while still benefiting from a consistent core of best practices, 24/7 company support, and a shared commitment to quality care. This combination—rooted in Silver City’s unique culture and extended through the national footprint—fosters professional growth while enriching your personal life with travel-worthy experiences and meaningful connections to communities nationwide.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to recognize your expertise and empower your ongoing development. In this Long-Term Care setting, you’ll perform essential duties including but not limited to direct patient care, medication administration in accordance with physician orders, wound care, vital signs monitoring, and observation for changes that warrant escalation. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, promote safe mobility and fall prevention, participate in care planning discussions, and document observations in clear, compliant electronic health records. Your leadership will shine as you mentor CNAs and new staff, reinforce evidence-based practices, and contribute to a collaborative care environment. The position emphasizes opportunities for professional growth within the long-term care specialty, with pathways to expand into clinical educator roles, charge or team lead responsibilities, and enhanced care coordination with nursing leadership. We offer a compelling benefits package that includes a competitive sign-on bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, and clear extension opportunities to continue your contract when the facility’s needs align with your goals. You’ll have 24/7 support from traveling coordinators and clinical supervisors who are dedicated to your success, ensuring you’re never alone on assignment. If you encounter a complex case, you can rely on accessible resources, rapid escalation pathways, and a network of colleagues who share your commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care.
Our company values staff empowerment and a culture of respect, learning, and advancement. We recognize that outstanding care starts with empowered professionals who feel supported at every step of their career journey. You’ll be encouraged to pursue continuing education, certifications, and leadership development that align with your interests and the needs of the residents you serve. The work environment is designed to be collaborative, with open communication across disciplines, constructive feedback loops, and a focus on wellbeing and job satisfaction. We’re dedicated to building a resilient workforce where your contributions are acknowledged, your voice matters, and your professional goals are attainable through structured mentoring, access to resources, and a path toward greater responsibility.

Embrace the opportunity to serve in Silver City, New Mexico, with the option to explore additional locations across the country and to extend your assignments as you desire.
