Gallup, NM
Contracted
Powerback - Red Rocks Care Center
Mid Level
Take the helm of your nursing career as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift offers the chance to enrich lives, uphold dignity, and build lasting trust with residents and families. This opportunity begins on 02/02/2026 and invites you to join a dynamic travel-focused program designed to support your clinical expertise while you explore new communities. You’ll start in Gallup, New Mexico, a locale that blends warmth, culture, and meaningful everyday interactions with residents who value compassionate, person-centered care. As you grow in this specialty, you’ll also have the option to bring your skills to various locations across the United States, embracing diverse settings, teams, and resident needs that broaden your professional repertoire. Picture yourself contributing to quality care while discovering the beauty of New Mexico’s landscapes—sunlit mesas, expansive skies, and the quiet invitation of nearby cultural and historic sites that offer restorative moments after meaningful days of care. In this program, your impact goes beyond clinical tasks; it supports families, honors residents’ life stories, and strengthens the fabric of long-term care across communities.
Gallup offers a welcoming backdrop for focused clinical work and personal well-being. The city’s rich Native American heritage, vibrant arts scene, and accessible outdoor spaces provide opportunities to recharge between shifts. You’ll experience the advantages of working in a community that values close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, frequent resident interaction, and a culture that emphasizes respect, safety, and continuity of care. For those who crave geographic variety, the program expands your reach to multiple locations across the U.S., delivering experiences in different care environments, regulatory landscapes, and care philosophies. Each placement brings new residents to know, new care plans to implement, and new colleagues to learn from—while you enjoy the distinct personality and regional flavors of each area.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to empower you to excel in Long-Term Care while affording substantial professional growth. As an LPN in this setting, you’ll perform essential nursing duties under the supervision of a registered nurse or physician, including medication administration per protocol, routine assessments, monitoring vital signs, wound care, and the delivery of daily living assistance. You’ll collaborate with the care team to develop, implement, and revise individualized care plans, ensuring timely documentation, accurate MARs, and compliance with state and federal regulations. Your keen eye for changes in residents’ conditions will drive proactive communication with families and the broader care team, supporting timely interventions and palliative or restorative goals as appropriate. You’ll engage residents in meaningful activities, reinforce infection control practices, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that elevate safety and outcomes. The role also provides pathways for professional growth within geriatrics and long-term care, including targeted continuing education, mentorship from seasoned clinicians, and opportunities to take on leadership or specialized clinical responsibilities as you gain experience.
Benefits go beyond competitive compensation. The position offers a bonus program to recognize you for your dedication, along with housing assistance to ease transition and relocation challenges. You’ll find extension opportunities that allow you to continue growing with this program beyond initial assignments, helping you build a stable, long-term career footprint in long-term care. Comprehensive support is available 24/7 while you travel with the company, ensuring you always have access to clinical guidance, human resources support, and on-site assistance when needed. This steadfast support structure is designed to reduce stress, avoid gaps in care, and keep you focused on delivering compassionate, resident-centered service. In addition, you’ll be joining a workforce that emphasizes teamwork, respect, and shared purpose, where your professional voice matters and your contributions are acknowledged as essential to resident well-being.
Our company values your development and well-being. We are committed to empowering our staff with ongoing opportunities for career advancement, skill enhancement, and leadership exposure within a supportive and collaborative culture. You’ll work alongside colleagues who believe in continuous learning, ethical practice, and the importance of dignity and autonomy in long-term care. Our environment prioritizes safe staffing, transparent communication, and a culture of appreciation that acknowledges your hard work and resilience. By choosing this path, you align with an organization that respects your expertise and is dedicated to helping you achieve your professional goals while you make a positive impact on every resident you serve.

Apply now to join a program that values your contributions, supports your growth, and stands beside you as you advance in a rewarding career. Your dedication can illuminate the lives of residents, strengthen families’ confidence in care, and shape the future of geriatric nursing in meaningful, tangible ways.
