Answer the call to compassionate care as a Travel Registered Nurse – LTC in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to make a lasting impact on residents’ lives while collaborating with dynamic teams across skilled facilities. Beginning 12/05/2025 for several weeks, you’ll commit to a guaranteed 36 hours each week, with weekly pay ranging from $1,578 to $1,633—reflecting the expertise you bring to geriatric care and the reliability of a well-supported travel assignment. You’ll join a community that values empathy, clinical excellence, and the drive to continually learn, grow, and lead within the LTC specialty.
Beyond the clinical rewards, this travel opportunity places you in a state renowned for its beauty and spirit. New Mexico’s panorama shifts from sun-kissed deserts to shadowed mountains, offering opportunities to recharge between shifts. In Albuquerque you can explore the charm of Old Town, savor authentic New Mexican cuisine, and witness dramatic sunsets over the Sandia Mountains. Down the road are other extraordinary landscapes: the otherworldly whiteness of White Sands, the majestic caverns of Carlsbad, and the red rock vistas that define the high desert. The region’s outdoor recreation—hiking, cycling, and easy access to cultural events—provides a well-rounded lifestyle that complements the rewarding work you do with LTC residents.
Location benefits extend far beyond a single city. While you’ll thrive in the Albuquerque healthcare community, our travel program also grants exposure to diverse facilities across the United States. You’ll experience different LTC settings, from skilled nursing to memory care and rehabilitation-focused centers, each with its own approach to care planning, teamwork, and patient engagement. The chance to rotate through multiple locations means you’ll broaden your clinical competencies, refine your documentation practices, and build a versatile resume, all while enjoying the unique local flavors, festivals, and communities of each place you visit. This flexibility supports your personal goals—whether you’re prioritizing shorter seasonal assignments or seeking longer engagements that deepen relationships with residents and colleagues alike.
Role specifics and benefits are designed with your professional trajectory in mind. As a Travel RN in LTC, you’ll deliver comprehensive direct patient care to older adults, including assessment, medication administration, chronic disease management, wound care, IV therapy within scope, and delirium and falls prevention. You’ll actively participate in care planning with physicians, NPs, and the broader interdisciplinary team, coordinate admissions and discharges, and provide clear patient and family education to promote understanding and adherence. Documentation in the electronic health record will reflect best practices and regulatory compliance, with a focus on accurate care plans and timely communication. Your day-to-day responsibilities will also involve mentorship of newer staff, contributing to performance improvement initiatives, and supporting quality care metrics across facilities. The pathway to growth is concrete: opportunities to assume charge nurse responsibilities on rotation, pursue geriatrics-focused certifications, and contribute to leadership projects that shape facility standards. Our benefits are designed to be truly competitive, including a welcome or completion bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, and clear extension opportunities if you and the facility wish to continue the collaboration. To ensure you’re never navigating a facility’s complexities alone, you’ll have access to a robust support network—24/7 assistance from our travel program, a dedicated travel coordinator, and a clinical liaison ready to resolve scheduling, credentialing, or clinical questions promptly.
We are committed to values that empower nurses. The organization prioritizes patient-centered care, ongoing professional development, and a supportive work environment where your expertise is respected and your wellbeing is a priority. You’ll find mentorship pathways, regular performance feedback, and opportunities to advance within geriatrics or to expand into leadership roles. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, inclusion, and the shared mission of delivering high-quality LTC care to some of our most vulnerable populations, all while supporting you with resources that help you thrive on the road and at home.
If you’re a dedicated LTC RN who enjoys variety, values autonomy, and wants to make a measurable difference in residents’ lives while exploring new communities, this is your invitation. Apply today to join a company that honors your clinical skill, supports your journey, and invests in your ongoing professional growth. Your next chapter, filled with meaningful patient impact, professional advancement, and the chance to experience the diverse landscapes of the United States, starts here.
