Genesis - West Region - Bear Canyon Rhb Ctr
Mid Level
Step into a purpose-driven role as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) specializing in Long-Term Care, where every shift matters and every resident's story informs your practice. In this travel-ready contract opportunity based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you will join a team of compassionate professionals delivering high-quality, patient-centered care in skilled nursing and long-term care settings. Beginning December 4, 2025, this Weeks-long assignment invites you to bring your clinical expertise to a community that values dignity, autonomy, and gentle, evidence-based support. The weekly pay range of $876 to $948 reflects the skills you bring, while the arrangement allows for extension opportunities if you and the facility exemplify a strong fit. Hours and pay rates are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
New Mexico offers more than a job; it offers a landscape of possibility. Albuquerque blends modern amenities with access to rich cultural experiences, year-round sunshine, and a gateway to outdoor adventures. You can explore the Sandia Foothills, ride a hot-air balloon during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, wander Old Town's boutiques and museums, or savor the craft beer and farm-to-table dining scene. The state’s vast public lands reveal spectacular day trips to white-sand deserts, ancient pueblos, and red-rock canyons. And for clinicians open to broader experiences, there are opportunities to work in multiple U.S. locations, bringing you a diverse array of facilities, patient populations, and practice environments, all while expanding your professional network.
As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you will be entrusted with essential patient care duties under the supervision of a Registered Nurse and care coordination with the interdisciplinary team. Your responsibilities may include monitoring vital signs and medication administration, wound care, treatments and dressing changes, documentation in electronic health records, assisting residents with activities of daily living, mobility aid support, and participating in person-centered care planning that honors residents’ preferences and goals. You will have opportunities to develop specialty competencies in memory care, rehabilitation support, and palliative care principles, with a clear path toward expanded responsibilities and mentorship. To support your success, the position features competitive benefits, including a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities that recognize continuity of care. You’ll receive robust travel support—24/7 assistance from our dedicated team while you’re on assignment, accessible whenever you need guidance, troubleshooting, or urgent care coordination. The arrangement is designed to prioritize your well-being and professional growth while you deliver compassionate care every day.
Our company is grounded in empowering nursing professionals to advance their careers within a supportive, collaborative environment. We invest in ongoing education, clinical skill-building, and leadership development to help you reach the next level—whether that means pursuing advanced licensure, specialized certifications, or stepping into charge or mentor roles.

Our commitment to your growth extends beyond contracts: we emphasize mentorship, peer learning, and structured opportunities to expand your impact across long-term care settings.
