Casa Real
Mid Level
Step into a meaningful and rewarding role as a Registered Nurse, Long-Term Care specialty, in the vibrant, sunlit city of Santa Fe, New Mexico. This travel nursing opportunity is designed to empower you to make a lasting impact on residents’ lives while expanding your professional horizons. In LTC settings you’ll guide compassionate, patient-centered care that honors independence, dignity, and comfort. Your hands will bring stability to daily routines, and your clinical expertise will elevate quality of life across complex health needs. Santa Fe offers a rich blend of culture, art, and outdoor adventure that refreshes body and spirit after demanding shifts. Picture mornings with crisp mountain air, afternoons exploring the historic plaza, and weekends exploring canyon trails or the endless skies of the high desert. This assignment also presents opportunities to work across various locations in the United States, giving you exposure to diverse populations, facilities, and care models while keeping your LTC specialization at the forefront of your practice.
Location Benefits:
Santa Fe’s health care landscape is anchored in community values and patient-focused care, with facilities that emphasize teamwork, safety, and continuous improvement. You’ll join teams that recognize the expertise of LTC nurses in coordinating complex chronic conditions, palliative needs, rehabilitation goals, and restorative nursing interventions. The location offers a supportive environment, modern units, and resources that help you deliver consistent, high-quality care. Beyond Santa Fe, the program opens pathways to placements in other U.S. communities, broadening your exposure to different regulatory requirements, staffing models, and cultural contexts. Living in New Mexico means access to breathtaking landscapes—from the Sangre de Cristo mountains to scenic mesas and vibrant desert sunsets—and a thriving arts scene, exceptional cuisine, and a pace that balances work with restorative leisure. The opportunity to travel and rotate through diverse facilities allows you to build a versatile resume while enjoying the state's natural beauty, strong community bonds, and a low-key, welcoming lifestyle.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
As a Travel RN in LTC, you’ll serve as a vital member of interdisciplinary teams, focusing on holistic, coordinated care for residents with varying degrees of frailty, chronic illness, and recovery needs. Core responsibilities include comprehensive resident assessments, medication administration and reconciliation, development and monitoring of individualized care plans, timely documentation, and proactive coordination with physicians, therapists, social workers, and families. You’ll respond to emergencies, manage vascular access and wound care, implement fall prevention strategies, and champion infection control and safety protocols. Your leadership will extend to mentoring licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants, fostering a collaborative culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
This role offers clear avenues for professional growth within the LTC specialty. You’ll engage in ongoing clinical education, pursue specialty certifications, participate in quality improvement initiatives, and explore potential leadership tracks such as charge nurse roles or clinical liaison positions. The package is designed to be competitive and supportive: a weekly pay range of $1,067-$1,095, with a start date of 03/02/2026 and a duration measured in weeks, plus the possibility of extension for continued career advancement. A bonus program, housing assistance, and extension opportunities are highlighted features to help you maximize your experience. Comprehensive travel support is provided, including 24/7 assistance while you’re traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never alone on the road. While this assignment emphasizes LTC excellence, the variety of locations involved means you’ll gain exposure to different care settings, regulatory environments, and patient populations, enriching your clinical toolkit and confidence.
