Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift offers the chance to enrich lives, support independence, and strengthen the care bonds that sustain our most vulnerable residents. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you’ll join a dedicated team that values empathy, clinical excellence, and teamwork. In this role you’ll combine hands-on nursing with person-centered plans, helping residents maintain dignity, comfort, and safety day after day. And beyond the patient rooms, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the beautiful landscapes and rich culture of New Mexico—from the terracotta skies and sunlit mesas to the historic charm of Albuquerque’s Old Town and the surrounding mountains. The state’s natural beauty invites weekend adventures, uplifting your well‑being as you build a rewarding career.

Location benefits: Albuquerque offers a vibrant community with accessible amenities, ongoing professional development opportunities, and a supportive network for caregivers. The city’s friendly neighborhoods and outdoor-focused lifestyle create an ideal backdrop for sustained clinical excellence. You’ll enjoy proximity to medical resources, continuing education options, and opportunities to connect with seasoned colleagues who share a commitment to compassionate geriatric care. For those who love variety, this program also provides the possibility to work in additional locations across the United States, expanding your clinical horizon while you maintain a stable base in New Mexico. Traveling assignments can broaden your experience with different care models, facilities, and patient populations, all while keeping you connected to a nationwide support system.

Role specifics and benefits: As an LPN in Long-Term Care, your daily responsibilities will center on delivering high‑quality, individualized care under the supervision of a registered nurse. You’ll administer medications and treatments as prescribed, monitor residents’ conditions, manage wound care and diabetic protocols, and assist with clinical tasks such as charting, vital signs, and timely documentation. You’ll support skilled assessments, participate in care planning conferences, and help implement and adjust plans to maximize comfort and function. Your role also includes assisting with activities of daily living—bathing, grooming, nutrition, mobility, and restorative therapies—while fostering independence and preserving residents’ autonomy. Effective communication with families, care teams, and interdisciplinary staff is essential to ensure consistent, coordinated care across shifts. You’ll have opportunities for professional growth within long‑term care, including access to specialty certifications in geriatric care, leadership pathways, and continuing education that aligns with your career goals.

Compensation and perks: The program offers competitive weekly pay in the range of $845–$868, with the flexibility of weeks-long assignments designed to fit your availability. While hours may vary and guaranteed hours are set at 0.0, we strive to provide you with consistent, meaningful engagement and the chance to extend your contracts should your schedule and the facility’s needs align. In addition to pay, you’ll have access to a comprehensive benefits package that includes housing assistance for eligible assignments and a bonus program that recognizes performance, reliability, and commitment to resident well‑being. We understand that travel can be demanding, so 24/7 support is available to you while you’re on assignment, ensuring you have dependable clinical and logistical help whenever you need it. Finally, you may find extension opportunities at the end of each assignment, allowing you to continue growing within the same or new settings as you and the organization see fit.

Company values: Our company is committed to empowering its staff through meaningful career advancement, ongoing mentorship, and a collaborative, supportive work environment. We prioritize open communication, respect, and recognition of each caregiver’s contributions, knowing that strong, stable teams deliver the most compassionate care. You’ll be part of a culture that values professional development, work‑life balance, and a shared mission to enhance the quality of life for residents and their families. With transparent leadership and a focus on learning, you’ll have the resources and encouragement needed to grow as a clinician and a teammate.
