Albuquerque, NM
Contracted
Las Palomas Ctr
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding travel assignment as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, beginning 03/02/2026 and extending across a multi-week engagement that blends hands‑on patient care with new horizons. This opportunity places you at the heart of compassionate geriatric support in the vibrant community of Albuquerque, New Mexico, while offering the flexibility to contribute in diverse care settings across the United States. Picture yourself enriching residents’ lives with skilled, thoughtful nursing—nurturing dignity, preserving independence, and delivering comfort where it matters most. As you pedal through the warm sun of New Mexico or explore the spectacular landscapes of the Southwest, you’ll carry the essential expertise that transforms daily moments into meaningful quality of life for seniors who deserve the best.
Location benefits go beyond a single city. Albuquerque presents a unique blend of sunlit days, cultural richness, and easy access to outdoor adventures, all within a welcoming healthcare community that values teamwork and ongoing growth. This role also opens doors to opportunities across multiple locations nationwide, enabling you to experience varied facilities, different care models, and a broad spectrum of geriatric needs. You’ll gain exposure to diverse resident populations, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and refine your assessment, documentation, and clinical decision‑making skills in dynamic environments. Whether you’re drawn to the charm of a local setting or the excitement of travel, you’ll find that the experience sharpens your clinical judgment while broadening your professional network.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to empower you as the primary advocate for residents in long‑term care. In this position you’ll provide direct nursing care under physician and supervisor oversight, including administering medications, monitoring vital signs, assessing residents for changes in condition, and implementing care plans with precision and compassion. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, reinforce evidence‑based practices for infection control and safety, and partner with families and the care team to communicate changes, celebrate progress, and address concerns. Your responsibilities will also encompass wound care, device management, and post‑procedure follow‑ups, with opportunities to expand into specialty areas such as wound care, palliative support, or care coordination. The role is crafted for growth: you’ll access ongoing training, mentorship, and pathways to elevate your practice within geriatrics, with documented opportunities to extend the assignment or transition into permanent or advanced practice roles as you wish. Competitive benefits include a sign‑on bonus and housing assistance to ease relocation, plus the flexibility to explore extension opportunities if you and the facility align for additional weeks. You’ll work within a supportive framework that prioritizes your professional development and well‑being, backed by 24/7 dedicated travel support from our company so you can navigate shifts, housing, and logistics with confidence. The compensation package features a weekly pay range of 834 to 887, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, acknowledging the value you bring and the consistency that traveling roles can provide, while also allowing room for performance‑based enhancements and extension options.
We value a workplace culture that amplifies your strengths, respects your expertise, and champions your career trajectory. The organization is committed to empowering staff through a collaborative environment where experienced nurses mentor newer team members, where evidence‑based practice informs daily care, and where leadership is accessible and responsive. You’ll find meaningful roles within a network that appreciates your bedside skill, your patient advocacy, and your capacity to adapt to changing resident needs. The company emphasizes ongoing education, advancement opportunities, and a community of colleagues who celebrate both professional milestones and personal growth. This is more than a job; it’s a platform for you to expand your impact, refine your craft, and contribute to a culture of excellence in long‑term care.
If you’re ready to merge clinical expertise with travel, growth, and purpose, this is your invitation to apply. Join a team that values your contribution and supports your development every step of the way, from onboarding through ongoing assignments. Embrace the chance to serve residents with dignity in Albuquerque and across the U.S., while enjoying competitive pay, housing assistance, a potential bonus, and the stability of guaranteed hours.
