Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, based in Las Cruces, New Mexico. This multi‑week assignment begins on December 2, 2025, offering you the chance to deliver compassionate, patient‑centered care to residents who rely on your expertise and steady presence. Imagine guiding daily routines, strengthening comfort, and coordinating care plans that help elders maintain dignity and independence. Beyond the clinical duties, the opportunity invites you to contribute to a community that values empathy, teamwork, and continuous learning. New Mexico’s sunlit skies and the striking Organ Mountains provide a vivid backdrop for your professional journey, while Las Cruces blends community warmth, cultural richness, and easy access to outdoor adventures, delicious dining, and regional healthcare innovation.
Working in Las Cruces offers a welcoming environment with modern facilities, supportive leadership, and a collaborative care culture. The city blends affordability with professional opportunity, making it possible to immerse yourself in long‑term care specialties while enjoying family life and weekend explorations. For nurses who value variety, there is also the option to work across diverse locations in the U.S., expanding your clinical horizons—from quiet rural facilities to bustling urban campuses—while maintaining the same core standards of patient‑first care. Each assignment brings a unique set of residents, family dynamics, and care challenges that sharpen your clinical judgment and compassionate approach. You’ll experience a network of professionals who share a commitment to safe, dignified care, robust documentation, and proactive communication that reduces transitions in care and enhances resident well‑being.
Your day‑to‑day will center on comprehensive, hands‑on nursing within long‑term care. You will perform medication administration, monitor vital signs, manage complex care plans, deliver wound and skin‑care, support mobility and daily living activities, and document changes accurately to inform the broader care team. You will collaborate with physicians, therapists, social workers, and family members to coordinate goals and adjust plans as residents progress. The role offers meaningful professional growth: you can deepen your expertise in geriatrics, palliative care, restorative approaches, pain management, and safety protocols, while mentoring CNAs and coordinating with interdisciplinary teams. The assignment includes a competitive compensation package with a weekly pay range of $978 to $1,037, guaranteed 36 hours per week, and the potential for extension beyond the initial term. We also offer housing assistance to reduce relocation barriers, and a bonus structure designed to recognize your commitment and performance. Our travel programs are structured to support you from day one with robust 24/7 assistance while you’re on the road, dedicated coordinators, and clear onboarding that helps you acclimate quickly in new facilities. Expect comprehensive orientation, continuous access to clinical resources, and a culture that encourages professional advancement through certified trainings and role expansion within long‑term care.
Our organization is built on empowering staff to grow—through clear career ladders, constructive feedback, mentorship, and a respectful, inclusive environment. We champion open communication, ethical practice, and a shared responsibility for delivering high‑quality geriatric care. By investing in your professional development, we help you transform your experience into leadership opportunities, whether in the same facility, across other sites, or as part of a national network of long‑term care specialists.
If you’re ready to make a lasting impact while exploring the diverse landscapes of the Southwest and beyond, apply now to join a company that values your compassion, resilience, and expertise. This is more than a job—it's a path to meaningful relationships, advanced clinical skills, and a community that supports you every step of the way.
Note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
