Step into a purpose-filled role as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, where your expertise and compassion illuminate daily life for residents who rely on steady, thoughtful care. In this position you’ll assess needs, implement care plans, administer medications, monitor symptoms, and collaborate with physicians and the broader care team to uphold comfort, dignity, and independence. Your hands will support residents through routine tasks, mobility, nutrition, and hygiene, while your listening ear and patient guidance help families navigate changes with confidence. This contract begins on 01/01/2026 and offers a reliable schedule with guaranteed 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay of $1,049-$1,050. For several weeks, you’ll join a facility that prizes clinical excellence, empathetic communication, and mentoring-focused growth, enabling you to sharpen skills in geriatric care and palliative approaches while making a meaningful, lasting difference in residents’ lives.

New Mexico beckons with sunlit days, expansive skies, and landscapes that invite exploration after shifts. Rio Rancho sits near vibrant Albuquerque, offering a welcoming, family-friendly community with easy access to outdoor recreation, parks, and cultural events. Whether you’re drawn to the quiet of a neighborhood setting or the energy of nearby city amenities, you’ll find balance here. Separately, the state’s beauty flourishes beyond the clinic: red rock vistas, canyon trails, white sands, and the charm of local festivals and hot air balloon nights. It’s a place where a demanding clinical role meets a high quality of life, with opportunities to unwind in nearby nature or savor regional cuisine and art.

Location benefits are multifaceted. Rio Rancho provides a supportive care environment within a growing community, with proximity to Albuquerque’s resources while maintaining a calmer, more residential pace. You’ll enjoy affordable housing options, favorable commutes, and a safe, friendly setting ideal for building lasting professional relationships. The role also opens the door to assignments across the U.S., offering exposure to diverse facilities, patient populations, and care models. This flexibility allows you to broaden clinical competencies—geriatric assessment, chronic disease management, wound care, med administration protocols, and functional mobility support—while earning consistent weekly pay and advancing your career in long‑term care. You’ll be part of a journey that respects your preferences for location variety, schedule consistency, and meaningful impact on residents’ daily lives.

Role specifics and benefits: as the primary nursing contact for long‑term residents, you’ll perform comprehensive patient assessments, monitor vital signs, administer medications and injections in accordance with policy, manage wound care and infection prevention, and implement plan-of-care changes in collaboration with the interdisciplinary team. You’ll support daily living activities, foster mobility and fall prevention, provide patient and family education, document care in electronic medical records, and contribute to care continuity across handoffs. The work offers clear pathways for professional growth within long‑term care: you’ll gain expertise in geriatric syndromes, chronic disease management, palliative approaches, nutrition for seniors, and effective teamwork with physicians, social workers, and therapy teams. Benefits reflect a competitive package: a welcome sign‑on bonus to acknowledge your experience, housing assistance to ease transition to a new location, and opportunities for contract extensions that align with your goals. You’ll have access to robust support for career development, including potential specialty trainings, extra clinical rotations, and leadership pathways as you grow. Comprehensive, 24/7 support is available while you’re traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never alone on the road or in a new facility. You’ll receive clear onboarding, ongoing mentorship, and regular check‑ins designed to keep you confident, connected, and capable.

Company values emphasize empowering staff, cultivating a culture of care, and supporting your professional advancement. We are committed to a work environment that respects your expertise, nurtures your growth, and recognizes your contributions with fair, transparent processes and a team‑first mentality. Expect collaborative leadership, feedback that helps you refine practice, and a supportive network that values your wellbeing and professional trajectory as much as resident outcomes.

If you’re ready to bring your LPN expertise to Long‑Term Care and join a company that champions your development, apply now. Embrace the chance to serve with compassion, expand your clinical horizons, and grow within a community that values every resident’s dignity and every nurse’s career.
