This travel opportunity places you at the heart of compassionate geriatrics and long-term support, empowering you to develop tailored care plans, monitor chronic conditions, administer medications, perform routine assessments, and support restorative activities that promote independence and comfort. You’ll collaborate with RNs, therapists, social workers, and families to ensure each resident experiences dignity, safety, and warmth in every interaction. This role is more than a job—it’s a chance to leave a lasting imprint on whole communities by elevating daily living, comfort, and hope. As you travel, you’ll also discover the beauty of the state and beyond: the shimmering deserts, the Sandia Mountains, Albuquerque’s golden sunsets, and iconic landscapes like White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns invite you to explore while you grow as a clinician. Start your path on 01/05/2026, ready to work for weeks at a time, with opportunities to extend and expand your scope.
Location Benefits: Albuquerque, New Mexico, blends a vibrant urban scene with easy access to nature, culture, and cuisine. You’ll enjoy a dynamic setting that values wellness, learning, and community. Beyond New Mexico, this travel program offers the flexibility to be placed in varied locations across the United States, enriching your professional portfolio with diverse facility types, resident populations, and care models. Expect supportive onboarding, clear orientation, and continuous resources to help you acclimate quickly to each site. You’ll experience a welcoming environment where your clinical judgment is trusted, your questions are encouraged, and you’re empowered to innovate within established protocols. In addition to professional growth, you’ll gain exposure to different regulatory landscapes, electronic health record systems, and interdisciplinary collaboration that strengthens your resume and expands career options long after you return home.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an LPN in Long-Term Care on a travel assignment, you’ll perform essential nursing duties with autonomy and teamwork. Responsibilities include comprehensive resident assessments, medication administration and reconciliation, wound care, monitoring vital signs, managing chronic disease plans, assisting with daily living activities, and implementing rehabilitation and restorative programs under supervision. You’ll contribute to care planning, document precisely in charting systems, and communicate effectively with families and physicians to ensure continuity of care. This role offers substantial professional growth in geriatric nursing, complex chronic disease management, palliative and end-of-life care principles, and care coordination across shifts and facilities. The program emphasizes competitive compensation that recognizes your expertise, with weekly pay between $854 and $866. Housing assistance is available to ease transitions, and attractive extension opportunities enable you to continue building your experience in trusted environments. A sign-on bonus or supplemental incentives may be offered where permissible, reflecting the value of your skills. The package includes robust support for travel, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated team while you’re on assignment, full orientation, and ongoing access to clinical resources. While you’ll enjoy flexible assignment lengths—often weeks at a time—you’ll still have predictable structures, with clear expectations for performance and patient outcomes. All assignments come with comprehensive safety protocols, shift flexibility, and access to mentors who can help you polish clinical techniques, improve documentation accuracy, and navigate regulatory requirements.
