Embark on a meaningful, growth‑driven journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift is an opportunity to elevate comfort, dignity, and quality of life for residents who rely on your skill and compassion. This dedicated assignment places you in Silver City, New Mexico, starting February 2, 2026, with a flexible duration designed to fit a variety of schedules and travel plans. You’ll join a tight‑knit care team that prizes clinical excellence, empathy, and continual learning, delivering person‑centered care that makes a real difference day after day. Beyond the bedside, imagine the Southwest’s open skies and captivating landscapes inviting you to unwind and explore after your shifts—Gila National Forest’s rugged beauty, historic mining towns, sunlit deserts, and starlit evenings that paint an inspiring backdrop to your professional journey. New Mexico’s striking vistas and rich cultural tapestry offer a backdrop for both personal renewal and professional pride, from quiet mornings in Silver City to weekend excursions exploring scenic trails and small‑town charm.

Location Benefits: Silver City stands out as a welcoming gateway to the Southwest’s natural wonders, pairing low‑stress living with access to outdoor recreation. You’ll enjoy a community that supports its caregivers and a cost of living that helps you reset and recharge between assignments. The region’s proximity to hiking, birding, and scenic drives means your off‑duty hours can be filled with memorable experiences rather than long commutes. For those who relish variety, this opportunity can open pathways to placements at additional sites across the United States, expanding your professional network and exposing you to diverse care settings—everything from rural clinics to urban medical centers—while maintaining the core values of compassionate geriatric care that you bring to every shift. The NM landscape—desert mesas, pine‑lined peaks, and wide, open skies—invites reflection, renewal, and energy for the work ahead.

Role Specifics and Benefits: In this Long‑Term Care nursing role, you will provide essential day‑to‑day nursing care under the supervision of registered nurses and care managers. Primary duties include monitoring resident health, administering medications and treatments, updating care plans, performing vital signs assessments, and documenting changes with accuracy and compassion. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, reinforce fall prevention strategies, support rehabilitation goals, and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to harmonize care and enhance comfort. This position offers the potential for professional growth within geriatrics, including enhanced competencies in memory care, wound care, infection prevention, and palliative comfort measures. You’ll be eligible for a competitive bonus structure, and housing assistance to ease transition into a new community. The assignment also provides extension opportunities should you wish to prolong your stay or explore additional locations through the company’s travel programs. You will receive comprehensive 24/7 support while traveling with our company, ensuring you have dependable resources, on‑call guidance, and practical solutions at all hours to help you focus on delivering exceptional care. Our program is designed to recognize and reward your contributions while helping you expand your clinical repertoire and leadership capabilities in a supportive environment.

Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering our staff to grow, learn, and advance in their careers while maintaining a supportive, collaborative culture. We invest in orientation, ongoing education, and mentorship that align with your goals—whether you’re pursuing specialty certifications in geriatric care, dementia care, or care coordination. We believe caregivers deserve a respectful work environment, fair recognition, and pathways to expand responsibilities as they demonstrate clinical proficiency and compassionate leadership. Diversity, inclusion, and a patient‑centered mindset guide every decision, ensuring you feel valued, heard, and equipped to deliver the highest standard of care while balancing personal well‑being and professional development.
