Belen, NM
Contracted
Belen Meadows Center
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, bringing compassionate, patient‑centered care to residents who deserve dignity, comfort, and independence. In this role, you’ll partner with skilled interdisciplinary teams to monitor daily health needs, administer medications accurately, track vital signs, and contribute to the development and execution of personalized care plans. Your hands-on expertise will support residents in secure, home-like settings, helping manage chronic conditions, prevent hospitalizations, and promote quality of life. You’ll mentor fellow aides and collaborate with RNs and physicians to ensure continuity of care, responsible documentation, and timely adjustments to treatment strategies. From daily assessments and wound care to mobility support and social engagement, your impact reaches beyond routine tasks to enrich lives and strengthen families’ trust in the care their loved ones receive. Start date February 6, 2026, with assignments measured in weeks, offering a flexible path through the country’s diverse care environments. While you pursue this meaningful work, the opportunity to travel across the U.S. will expand your clinical perspectives, expose you to varied practices, and empower you with experiences that sharpen your expertise. And as you settle into New Mexico’s uniquely welcoming communities, you’ll be inspired by the chance to make a tangible difference in the wellbeing of residents who rely on your steady, reassuring presence.
Location benefits in New Mexico, including Belen, are highlighted by a warm climate, vibrant heritage, and a strong sense of community. Belen’s friendly neighborhoods and proximity to larger cities offer a balanced lifestyle that blends meaningful clinical work with opportunities to explore acclaimed local cuisine, outdoor recreation, and cultural events. Beyond the local charm, the role may involve placements in other U.S. locations, delivering the flexibility to experience different regions, healthcare systems, and patient populations. You’ll gain exposure to diverse long‑term care settings—from well‑established facilities in urban hubs to intimate, community‑based campuses—each with its own pace, patient mix, and opportunities to grow. The ability to work in multiple locations allows you to expand your professional network, refine your bedside skills, and adapt to a range of care models while maintaining a consistent commitment to high‑quality resident care.
