Step into a role where every day you empower residents to live with dignity, comfort, and independence. As a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you will become a trusted partner in a compassionate care team that supports aging with grace. This is more than a job; it is a chance to make a lasting difference in the lives of seniors who deserve personalized attention, patience, and respect. In the Land of Enchantment, you’ll find not only meaningful work but also the beauty of a state known for expansive skies, vibrant culture, and landscapes that range from the Sandia Mountains to desert mesas, Old Town charm to the glow of sunset over mesas. If you crave outdoor adventures, creative communities, and a slower, more intentional pace—while still enjoying modern amenities—NM invites you to bring your nursing expertise to its thriving long-term care communities. And for those who love variety, this opportunity can open doors to assignments across the United States, expanding your clinical experience and professional network.

Working in Albuquerque blends a friendly, walkable city with access to excellent dining, arts, and outdoor recreation. You’ll benefit from the region’s supportive healthcare networks, patient-centered facilities, and a community that values caregiver expertise. With the travel nursing model, you also gain flexibility to be stationed in diverse settings—skilled nursing facilities, assisted living campuses, and rehab centers—while maintaining a stable employment relationship with the agency. And for select assignments, you may explore other U.S. locations, gaining exposure to different patient populations and care workflows that sharpen your clinical judgment and leadership skills. The area’s climate and community resources make it easier to sustain excellent patient care while maintaining your own well-being, and you’ll join teams that celebrate collaboration, respect, and ongoing learning.

Role specifics and benefits: In this Long-Term Care LPN role, you will deliver direct, resident-centered care under the supervision of an RN or physician. Key responsibilities include medication administration, wound care, accurate charting, and routine assessments; contributing to timely care planning and updates to individualized care plans; monitoring for changes in conditions and escalating concerns promptly; supporting discharge planning, family education, and comfort measures that enhance quality of life; upholding safety standards, infection prevention, and regulatory compliance; mentoring and supervising nursing assistants to ensure consistent, compassionate care; and applying evidence-based practices to daily routines. This position offers competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $961-$999, a potential sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and the opportunity to extend your assignment beyond the initial term. You will receive comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from our travel team as you move between assignments. The program is designed to provide ongoing professional growth, allowing you to expand your clinical competencies, leadership capabilities, and adaptability in diverse care settings. While the core assignment is in Albuquerque, the network enables you to broaden your horizons through additional U.S. placements, enriching your resume and expanding your professional impact.

Company values: Our company is built on empowering staff, prioritizing your career advancement, and fostering a supportive, collaborative work environment. We invest in you with resources for continuing education, mentorship, skill refinement, and leadership development, ensuring you can pursue specialization, certifications, and greater responsibility. You’ll join teams that value open communication, respect, and a culture of recognition for the compassionate care you deliver each day. Our commitment is to create a supportive framework so you can focus on clinical excellence, meaningful relationships with residents and families, and a sustainable, rewarding career path.
