Mid Level
Step into a meaningful role as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This opportunity lets you touch lives daily, guiding residents through dignified aging with skill, compassion, and respect. You’ll collaborate with a dedicated care team to deliver consistent, person-centered care that enhances comfort, promotes independence, and strengthens families’ peace of mind. Beyond patient rooms, you’ll discover New Mexico’s beauty—the Sandia Mountains at sunset, the historic charm of Old Town, open skies and expansive deserts inviting weekend adventures. Whether you’re focused on clinical mastery, care coordination, or leadership, this assignment is designed to expand your skills while making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Albuquerque blends urban amenities with outdoor appeal, making it an ideal place to practice geriatric nursing. You’ll enjoy access to supportive housing resources, continuing education, and a community that values elder care. For those drawn to the broader experience offered by travel nursing, this opportunity can also lead to placements across the United States, exposing you to different facility models and care teams. Working in diverse long-term care settings—from large urban campuses to smaller rural facilities—will sharpen your assessment, communication, and advocacy skills while broadening your professional network. You’ll gain exposure to multidisciplinary approaches, compassionate end-of-life care principles, and evidence-based practices that enhance resident quality of life.
Your primary responsibilities focus on high-quality, compliant nursing care for residents with varied needs. Under supervision, you’ll administer medications, monitor vitals, perform routine assessments, support wound care, and participate in care planning with interdisciplinary teams. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, support rehabilitation goals, reinforce safety protocols, and educate residents and families about ongoing plans. This role emphasizes growth within long-term care, with opportunities to expand your scope, take on leadership tasks, and pursue continuing education credits. We offer competitive compensation, including a weekly pay range of 875 to 947 dollars, a bonus program, housing assistance, and options for contract extensions. Comprehensive support is provided, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, onboarding resources, clinical mentorship, and a dedicated staffing team to advocate for you during every assignment. The schedule is designed to be flexible and respectful of your work–life balance, with initial weeks of assignment and potential extensions based on performance and facility needs.
At the core, the company is committed to empowering its staff, fostering a culture of advancement, recognition, and teamwork. You’ll be supported by a positive, collaborative environment that values open communication, practical training, and a clear path for growth in long-term care nursing. We believe in your contribution and in investing in your professional development so you can deliver compassionate, high-quality care while building a durable career.
