Ladera Center
Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in Long-Term Care, with a focused opportunity to make a lasting impact in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In this role, you’ll be at the heart of compassionate, resident-centered care, partnering with interdisciplinary teams to promote comfort, safety, and quality of life for aging adults. You’ll assess, monitor, and document residents’ conditions, administer medications within scope, manage wound care and daily living activities, and support families through transitions with empathy and clarity. This is your chance to apply clinical expertise to enhance stability and dignity for residents who rely on skilled, steady hands. Beyond the clinical duties, you’ll have the chance to experience the beauty and culture of New Mexico. From the sunny skies and expansive desert landscapes to the vibrant neighborhoods of Albuquerque and nearby natural wonders, the state offers opportunities to explore outdoor trails, historic sites, and a welcoming community that appreciates your dedication. For traveling professionals, this assignment also presents the possibility to experience different facilities while staying rooted in the enchanting charm of the Southwest.
Location Benefits: Albuquerque blends urban energy with outdoor accessibility, presenting a compelling setting for professional growth and daily life. The city offers a robust healthcare network, diverse senior-care facilities, and collaborative teams that value NPs, RNs, LPNs, and allied professionals. You’ll enjoy a favorable balance of cost of living and rewarding work, with the option to work in various locations across the U.S. should you choose to expand your travel experiences. Albuquerque is a gateway to the desert’s scenic beauty and to culturally rich experiences—Old Town’s galleries, the Sandia Peak views, local cuisine, annual festivals, and a community that supports healthcare professionals who bring compassion and reliability to their assignments. This placement also provides access to housing assistance and dependable support services that ease the transition to travel nursing, helping you focus on delivering exceptional resident care from day one.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll play a vital role in daily care planning and implementation. Core responsibilities include monitoring residents’ conditions, administering medications per policy and plan of care, performing routine assessments, recording precise documentation, supporting activities of daily living, coordinating with RNs and physicians, identifying changes in health status, and implementing care adjustments to improve wellbeing. You’ll help manage chronic conditions, assist with admissions and discharges, support falls prevention initiatives, and contribute to restorative and comfort-focused care plans. The position is designed to foster professional growth within the long-term care specialty, offering pathways to leadership roles, specialty certifications, and expanded responsibilities as you demonstrate clinical excellence and compassionate leadership. Competitive benefits are a cornerstone of this opportunity: you’ll have access to a bonus structure, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions, allowing you to tailor your schedule to your goals. Comprehensive support is available around the clock, with 24/7 assistance while you travel with the company, ensuring you’re never alone when navigating new facilities, policies, or patient needs. While on assignment, you’ll benefit from flexible scheduling, collaboration with seasoned teammates, and resources designed to help you adapt quickly to each facility’s culture and charting systems. The arrangement is presented on a weeks-long basis, starting on 03/09/2026, with weekly pay in the range of $820 to $878, reflecting competitive compensation for the level of responsibility and expertise involved. Although guaranteed hours are listed as 0.0, you’ll have opportunities to extend and continue into subsequent assignments if you choose, with extension opportunities frequently available for high-performing clinicians. Please note: hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
