Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, where every shift offers an opportunity to profoundly influence the well‑being and dignity of residents who rely on your skill, compassion, and dedication. In this role you will blend clinical precision with heartfelt care, guiding daily routines, supporting recovery, and collaborating with a dynamic team to create an environment where residents feel seen, respected, and secure. Picture yourself turning care moments into meaningful connections—from personal care and medication administration to coordinated plans that celebrate independence while safeguarding safety. This assignment is more than a job; it’s a path to mastery in geriatric nursing, with the satisfaction of knowing your efforts translate into calmer days, brighter moments, and better quality of life for those who call long‑term care home. As you answer this calling, you’ll also enjoy the opportunity to explore the natural beauty and vibrant culture of New Mexico’s Alpine‑sun setting, a state rich with history, warmth, and welcoming communities.
Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this opportunity blends professional growth with a region famed for its sunlit skies, dramatic landscapes, and culturally rich experiences. Albuquerque offers a welcoming urban scene with a strong sense of community, an affordable cost of living, and easy access to outdoor adventures—from scenic trails and the Sandia Mountains to lively Old Town and a thriving culinary and arts scene. The city’s infrastructure supports reliable healthcare networks and collegial teamwork, making it an ideal hub for travel clinicians who value consistency in mission and flexibility in opportunity. Beyond Albuquerque, the role also opens doors to assignments across the United States, allowing you to broaden your clinical exposure, adapt to diverse facility cultures, and build a robust portfolio of geriatric care experience. You’ll have the chance to savor the beauty of New Mexico—sunsets painting the high desert, dynamic desert landscapes, and the quiet majesty of mountain vistas—while advancing your professional journey.
Location benefits extend beyond the immediate cityscape. In Albuquerque you’ll experience a patient‑centered environment that emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, evidence‑based practice, and ongoing learning. The travel model provides you with competitive pay, a guaranteed weekly schedule, and the security of consistent 36 hours per week. The arrangement supports you with housing assistance to ease transitions, so you can focus on clinical excellence and compassionate care. You’ll gain exposure to a mosaic of long‑term care settings across the region, sharpening your assessment skills, wound care, fall prevention, and complex care planning. The experience also cultivates adaptability, cultural competency, and strong communication with families and care teams, enriching your professional identity as a trusted LPN in long‑term care.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to empower your practice and reward your dedication. As an LPN in long‑term care, your core responsibilities include administering medications per physician orders and care plans, performing routine assessments, monitoring vital signs, identifying changes in condition, and implementing timely interventions. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, support mobility and rehabilitation goals, manage wound care and prevention strategies, and coordinate with Registered Nurses and care teams to update care plans. Documentation will reflect accurate, compliant charting, while adherence to infection control and safety protocols ensures a secure environment for residents. You’ll lead by example, mentoring Certified Nursing Assistants, promoting best practices in resident dignity, and contributing to quality improvement initiatives. The role offers clear pathways for professional growth within geriatric care, including opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, take on leadership responsibilities, and participate in continuing education. The benefits package is designed to recognize your value: weekly pay ranging from $1,408 to $1,468, guaranteed hours of 36 per week, and a contract structured in weeks with extensions available. In addition, generous housing support helps you settle quickly, and a potential sign‑on or performance bonus adds a meaningful emotional and financial boost. You will be supported by 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel team as you move between facilities, ensuring you are never alone on the road. The organization emphasizes mentorship, resilience, and a culture of inclusion where your professional voice matters as you navigate the complexities of long‑term care across diverse resident populations.
Company values underscore a commitment to empowering staff and enabling ongoing career advancement within a supportive work environment. The organization prioritizes the professional development of nurses, recognizing the unique contributions LPNs make to resident comfort, safety, and continuity of care. Expect resources for skill enhancement, opportunities to take on greater responsibility, and a culture that values collaboration, empathy, and integrity. A robust support infrastructure helps you thrive—24/7 travel assistance, access to experienced clinical leaders, and a network that celebrates curiosity and growth. This is a place where your dedication translates into real impact: improved resident outcomes, stronger team cohesion, and personal confidence in clinical decision‑making. The company’s ethos centers on empowering you to build a meaningful career in long‑term care while maintaining balance and well‑being, knowing you have disciplinary mentorship, peer support, and administrative backing at every step.
