Mid Level
Step into a life-changing opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse specialized in Long-Term Care, anchored in the vibrant city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This travel-ready role is designed for compassionate professionals who believe in the power of steady, person-centered care to transform the daily lives of residents. As you lend your expertise to our long-term care teams, you’ll witness the profound impact of consistent, skilled nursing that supports dignity, independence, and comfort for aging populations. This assignment invites you to blend clinical mastery with heartfelt mentorship, guiding CNAs, aides, and families through meaningful care plans, meaningful conversations, and the everyday moments that make a real difference. Imagine the satisfaction of seeing a resident smile after a well-timed intervention, or witnessing a family member feel relief knowing their loved one is attended to with patience and precision. This is your platform to grow, to lead, and to elevate the standard of care in long-term settings while enjoying the unique culture and landscapes of the Southwest. And the Albuquerque experience itself is crafted to inspire—from the city’s blend of arts, cuisine, and outdoor adventures to its welcoming communities and mild climate that invites exploration after shifts.
Albuquerque offers a compelling base for your travel nursing journey. You’ll be able to stay close to the heart of New Mexico’s scenic beauty, where the Sandia Mountains frame the skyline and the Rio Grande provides a tranquil backdrop for reflective breaks. The city’s distinctive blend of Southwestern warmth, red-rock sunsets, and a thriving cultural scene creates a backdrop that fosters balance between demanding clinical work and restorative downtime. For those who crave variety, this opportunity also opens doors to assignments across diverse U.S. locations, offering you a breadth of experiences—from urban hospital corridors to serene rural facilities—while maintaining your core focus on senior resident care. The position’s travel-ready structure respects your need for flexibility, letting you apply your seasoned skill set where it’s most needed, with a strong support network behind you every step of the way.
In this role, your key responsibilities center on high-quality, patient-centered care for residents in long-term care settings. You’ll perform comprehensive assessments, administer medications, monitor vital signs, and respond promptly to changes in condition, all while coordinating with physicians, therapists, social workers, and family members to craft individualized care plans. Documentation will be precise and timely, ensuring continuity of care across shifts, while you supervise and mentor nursing assistants to uphold safety standards, infection control, and compassionate communication. You’ll support activities of daily living, manage wound care when needed, implement fall-prevention strategies, and educate families about care goals and progression. The position provides opportunities for professional growth within the LTC specialty, including potential pathways into charge nursing roles, precepting new staff, or pursuing specialty certifications such as geriatric care or dementia care, depending on facility needs and your interests. Competitive benefits come with this travel assignment, including a signing bonus, housing assistance to ease relocating and lodging during assignments, and options for contract extensions that allow you to deepen your impact at facilities you trust. You will also benefit from 24/7 support from a dedicated traveler assistance team that helps with housing, travel logistics, and on-the-ground problem-solving so you can focus on what you do best—delivering attentive, skilled care to residents.
Our company values your contributions and supports your ongoing development. We are committed to empowering staff through clear career pathways, regular opportunities for upskilling, and a collaborative environment that treats every team member with respect and appreciation. As you bring your practical expertise to Long-Term Care, you’ll find mentors, resources, and a culture that prioritizes work-life balance, professional growth, and a sense of belonging. The job’s structure—based in Albuquerque with the chance for additional U.S. assignments—reflects our belief that nurses perform best when they feel supported, challenged, and part of a larger mission to improve senior care nationwide. You will be part of a compassionate community that values safety, dignity, and the human connection at the heart of every shift.
Starts December 2, 2025, with an assignment measured in weeks, offering a weekly pay range of $959 through $1,024, plus the potential for a range of benefits designed to support you across locations, including a housing allowance and opportunities to extend the assignment if you choose.
