Step into a meaningful role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift offers the chance to elevate quality of life, restore dignity, and empower residents to live with comfort and independence. Beginning 02/02/2026, you’ll join a dedicated team delivering patient-centered care across diverse long-term care settings. In this traveling opportunity, your clinical skill will meet compassion in daily practice—administering medications, coordinating care plans, and supporting residents and families through transitions. Picture yourself making a tangible difference—watching residents stabilize, regain function where possible, and enjoy moments of relief and connection. And when you pause between shifts, you’ll discover the beauty of New Mexico: from the panoramic Sandia Mountains to vibrant cultural events in Albuquerque, with outdoor adventures and serene desert skies that invite reflection and renewal.
Location benefits: Albuquerque offers a dynamic healthcare landscape with reputable facilities that prize teamwork, innovation, and resident-focused care. You’ll experience a real sense of community in New Mexico’s capital, where access to high-quality hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and supportive administrators creates a solid foundation for professional growth. The opportunity to rotate to various sites within the state or across the U.S. means you’ll gain exposure to different patient populations, care models, and best practices, enriching your clinical toolbox. Beyond the hospital walls, the region unfolds with sunlit trails, historic neighborhoods, and a thriving arts scene—an ideal setting to recharge after meaningful days caring for others. You’ll benefit from a structured pathway that blends stability with the excitement of new environments, all while enjoying the unique experiences that only travel roles can provide.
Role specifics and benefits:
- Core responsibilities: perform comprehensive assessments, monitor resident conditions, administer medications and treatments per individualized care plans, document precisely and timely, recognize early warning signs of deterioration, and communicate changes to RNs, physicians, therapists, and family members. Provide wound care, skin integrity management, and supportive therapies as directed; implement and reinforce infection control practices; educate residents and families on disease processes, medications, and routines; participate in multidisciplinary rounds and care conferences; ensure safe transfers and continuity of care between shifts and settings.
- Growth and development: access ongoing professional development within the long-term care specialty, pursue certifications in geriatric care, wound management, pain control, palliative care, or rehabilitation support, and collaborate with mentors to expand your scope of practice. This role is designed to foster autonomy while preserving expert guidance from seasoned clinicians, with opportunities to take on lead tasks or advance into more complex care coordination over time.
- Benefits and support: competitive weekly pay in the range of $855–$878, along with a potential signing incentive, housing assistance for eligible assignments, and extension opportunities to maximize experience and earnings. You’ll have robust 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team, ensuring you have real-time assistance, crisis support, and seamless logistics wherever your assignments take you. The program is built to keep you secure, informed, and connected while you travel.
- Environment and culture: join a company committed to empowering its staff, with clear pathways for career advancement, comprehensive onboarding, continuous feedback, and a supportive workplace where your contributions matter. Expect respectful teamwork, accessible leadership, and a culture that prioritizes resident well-being and staff development.
