Mid Level
Step into a purpose-driven role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift is an opportunity to uplift the lives of residents and their families. This dedicated assignment in Albuquerque, New Mexico, blends compassionate, hands-on nursing with professional growth in a supportive, team-centered environment. You will help stabilize daily routines, support individualized care plans, monitor changes in condition, and collaborate closely with RNs, physicians, and interdisciplinary teams to ensure comfort, safety, and dignity for each resident. Your meticulous assessments, timely documentation, and respectful communication will be crucial as you empower residents to maintain independence and quality of life. Beyond the walls of the facility, you’ll have a chance to explore the rich culture and natural beauty that define New Mexico—from the snow-dusted peaks of the Sandias to the charming streets of Old Town Albuquerque, from vibrant local cuisine to serene desert landscapes and endless sunshine. The state’s remarkable scenery invites reflection and renewal, offering moments of inspiration after meaningful days spent delivering exceptional care.
Location benefits extend far beyond the bedside. Albuquerque offers a dynamic community with a welcoming spirit, abundant outdoor recreation, and a thriving arts and food scene. The assignment also opens doors to opportunities across the United States, letting you experience varied facilities, populations, and care models while building a robust professional portfolio. You’ll gain exposure to different long-term care settings, from compact, community-based facilities to larger, multi-site campuses, all while maintaining a stable clinical footprint and predictable schedules. The role is designed to balance steady patient contact with opportunities to deepen your clinical competencies, expand your scope of practice, and cultivate leadership readiness as you mentor new staff and participate in quality improvement initiatives.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to optimize your performance and well-being. In this position, you’ll perform essential LPN duties within the long-term care continuum: administering medications and treatments per physician orders, performing routine and focused assessments, monitoring for subtle changes in cognition, mood, and functional status, managing wound care, and supporting rehabilitation goals under the guidance of the nursing team. You’ll contribute to care planning, document accurately, and participate in care conferences to align with residents’ preferences and goals. The opportunity for professional growth is woven into the assignment through on-the-job learning, access to continuing education credits where available, and mentorship from experienced colleagues. Expect a competitive benefits package that recognizes your expertise, including a bonus, comprehensive housing assistance, and potential extension opportunities that allow you to continue your service with the same supportive employer. You’ll receive 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never navigating complex shifts or unfamiliar facilities alone. Whether you’re navigating a new patient population or refining advanced care techniques, the company backs your progress with immediate assistance, travel resources, and a network of colleagues who share your commitment to excellence.
Our company values empower you to advance your career while preserving a respectful, inclusive, and collaborative work environment. We’re dedicated to investing in our staff, celebrating strengths, and creating pathways to greater responsibility, whether you’re aiming for leadership roles, specialized certifications, or broader clinical experience. The culture centers on open communication, professional development, and a keen focus on patient well-being, so you can thrive in a role that respects your professional judgment and honors your contributions. You’ll join a team that recognizes that your skillset as an LPN in Long-Term Care is essential to those we serve, and that your growth benefits every resident, family member, and colleague.
