Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in Long-Term Care, where your clinical expertise and compassionate presence become a lifeline for residents who deserve dignified, personalized care every single day. This travel opportunity invites you to apply your hands-on skills to build lasting relationships, support families, and elevate standards of daily living for seniors in a dynamic, interdisciplinary setting. As you step into this role, imagine the impact you can make—while also embracing the adventure of life on the road, discovering new communities, and growing your professional toolbox along the way. And separate from the work itself, we invite you to experience the beauty of New Mexico—its dramatic desert skies, the rolling hills of the Sandia Mountains, and the unique blend of Spanish and Native American heritage that enriches every visit to Albuquerque and beyond.

Location Benefits: In Albuquerque, you’ll enjoy a vibrant urban center framed by breathtaking landscapes, a mild climate, and a welcoming community. The city offers cultural festivals, outdoor recreation, regional cuisine, and opportunities to explore high desert panoramas, charming Old Town, and nearby trails. Working in this location provides the advantages of a robust healthcare network, access to resources for continuous learning, and the chance to collaborate with skilled teams dedicated to geriatric-focused care. If your curiosity pulls you toward broader horizons, this assignment also presents the exciting possibility to work in various locations across the U.S., expanding your professional exposure and enriching your clinical perspective. You can cultivate adaptability by moving through diverse facilities that care for residents with a wide range of needs, from post-acute transitions to long-term maintenance of chronic conditions. The experience adds versatility to your resume, broadens your professional network, and offers the chance to savor new communities while maintaining the stability of a reputable travel program.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you will perform essential patient care under the supervision of nursing leadership, including routine assessments, medication administration, wound care, and timely documentation of care plans. You’ll monitor vital signs, assist with activities of daily living, support mobility and safety, and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to promote comfort, dignity, and independence for residents. Your role will also involve contributing to care plan development, identifying changes in condition, and providing education to residents and families. This assignment is designed for professional growth, with opportunities to deepen geriatric nursing competencies, participate in precepting or mentoring less experienced staff, and take on leadership responsibilities within the unit. In addition to the clinical duties, you will benefit from competitive compensation, including a weekly pay range of $1,574-$1,647, with flexibility aligned to assignment specifics. We offer a generous package that includes a bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for extension opportunities, allowing you to extend a rewarding chapter if you choose. You’ll operate with the reassurance of robust support from our dedicated team, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company. This comprehensive network is designed to remove barriers, answer questions in real time, and keep you focused on delivering high-quality care. The role also emphasizes continuity of care and strong handoffs, ensuring residents experience consistent, person-centered attention even as assignments rotate.

Company Values: Our organization is built on a foundation of empowerment, respect, and opportunity. We are committed to supporting our staff’s career advancement and fostering a positive, collaborative work environment where every voice matters. You’ll find a culture that prioritizes safety, professional development, and open communication, with leaders who invest in you through ongoing training, mentorship, and clear paths to leadership or specialized practice areas. We believe that when nurses feel valued and supported, they can deliver the best possible care and inspire others to pursue excellence in geriatric nursing.

Call to Action: If you’re ready to blend impact with exploration, apply today to join a company that values your contribution and your professional growth. This is more than a travel assignment—it’s a chance to shape the care experience for residents in Long-Term Care while expanding your horizons across the U.S. and enjoying the remarkable landscapes of New Mexico and beyond.
