Albuquerque, NM
Contracted
Rhb Ctr of Albuquerq
Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This role places you at the heart of residents’ daily lives, where compassionate nursing meets steady clinical judgment. You will monitor health, administer routine medications, and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to maintain comfort, safety, and dignity for aging adults. Each shift offers a chance to educate families, support transitions, and celebrate small victories in recovery, rehabilitation, and adaptation. The landscape of long‑term care is about relationships as much as protocols, and your steady presence can transform days into steadier, more hopeful ones. Beyond the facility, New Mexico invites exploration—sunlit days, red-rock sunsets, and a culture that values warmth, art, and resilience.
Albuquerque blends healthcare opportunity with an engaging lifestyle. The city’s growing medical community means strong collaboration with physicians, therapists, and social workers, plus access to continuing education and professional development resources. If you’re drawn to variety, you’ll have chances to work in other locations across the United States, widening your experience with different patient populations and care models. This mobility comes with robust support: dedicated travel coordinators, reliable housing assistance, and a 24/7 help line to ease any hurdle from shift change to housing logistics. The combination of competitive compensation, predictable hours, and a welcoming environment makes it easier to focus on what you do best—care for residents and their families.
In this position you’ll conduct comprehensive assessments, administer medications accurately, monitor vital signs, document care plans, and coordinate with the broader care team to tailor interventions. You’ll assist with daily activities, support wound care and chronic disease management, and help residents maintain independence where possible. There are clear paths for professional growth within long-term care, whether you aspire to lead clinical teams, mentor new nurses, or specialize in geriatric care coordination. We offer benefits that matter, including a sign-on incentive, housing assistance to ease relocation, and options to extend your contract based on performance and facility needs. You’ll be supported by a comprehensive travel program: 24/7 assistance, on‑site mentors when needed, and a network of colleagues across assignments to lean on. Compensation reflects the role’s responsibilities, with weekly pay estimated between $1,470 and $1,589, and a guaranteed 36 hours per week. Start date is 12/18/2025, and each contract is defined in weeks with opportunities for extension.
At the core, the company values empowering its staff. We’re dedicated to your career advancement and to fostering a respectful, collaborative work environment where your expertise is valued and your well‑being is a priority. Ongoing training, leadership pathways, and constructive feedback are part of everyday practice, helping you build confidence and resilience in the demanding field of long‑term care. You’ll experience a culture that honors compassionate care, ethical practice, and teamwork, so you can deliver high-quality outcomes while growing as a nurse and as a professional.

Apply now to begin a rewarding travel-to-long-term care assignment in Albuquerque and beyond, with a community that appreciates your skill, dedication, and leadership. This is your chance to influence residents’ lives, strengthen your clinical expertise, and experience the variety of care settings the U.S. has to offer. Note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
