Embark on a purpose‑driven journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long‑Term Care, beginning November 17, 2025, with a dynamic travel assignment that places you at the heart of compassionate elder care in Silver City, New Mexico, while offering opportunities to serve in diverse locations across the United States. In this specialty, your hands, clinical judgment, and authentic care will support residents through daily routines, rehabilitation milestones, and comfort-focused interventions. You’ll work alongside experienced teams to optimize quality of life, reinforce safety, and foster dignity in every interaction. This program invites you to shape meaningful outcomes for residents and their families, while discovering new communities and expanding your professional horizons through a supported travel model that values growth, resilience, and connection. And beyond the professional impact, you’ll experience the striking beauty of New Mexico—from sunlit desert horizons to forested foothills and historic towns—while enjoying the unique lifestyle Silver City has to offer.

Location Benefits: Nestled in the high desert landscape of southwestern New Mexico, Silver City blends outdoor serenity with a warm, welcoming community. Imagine evenings shaped by dramatic sunsets, easy access to the Gila National Forest, scenic trails, and nearby historic sites—an environment that nourishes well‑being, perspective, and balance after demanding shifts. Silver City offers a compact, walkable town feel with cultural events, local cuisine, and a sense of connection that can revitalizes your practice. Professionally, this assignment delivers a gateway to long‑term care experiences that emphasize geriatric assessment, chronic disease management, wound care, and restorative support. The program also provides the possibility to work in various locations across the U.S., enabling you to broaden your clinical exposure—rural clinics, vibrant metro facilities, and everything in between—so you can refine your skills, adapt to different care models, and build a robust professional portfolio.

Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Core responsibilities: As an LPN in Long‑Term Care, you’ll monitor residents’ conditions, administer medications and treatments under supervision, perform routine assessments, manage wound care and skin integrity, assist with activities of daily living, and collaborate with RNs, physicians, therapists, and families to implement individualized care plans. You’ll document care accurately, report changes promptly, and contribute to care coordination that supports safety, comfort, and independence. Assist with admissions, discharges, and transitions of care, while helping residents maintain dignity and personalized routines. Your role will also include supervising and guiding certified nursing assistants, reinforcing best practices in infection control, safety, and compassionate communication.
- Professional growth: This position places you in a high‑demand specialty with clear pathways for advancement. You’ll receive targeted training in geriatric care, chronic disease management, hospice‑informed pain control, and palliative comfort measures. There are opportunities to expand your scope with additional certifications, leadership responsibilities, and mentoring roles as you demonstrate reliability, clinical acumen, and a collaborative spirit. The travel framework is designed to expose you to varied care environments, enriching your adaptability and problem-solving capabilities while paving routes toward senior‑level roles within the organization.
- Benefits and support: Competitive compensation, including a sign‑on or performance bonus where applicable, is complemented by housing assistance or access to subsidized accommodations to ease your transition. We also offer extension opportunities, enabling you to renew assignments or transition to longer‑term placements as your preferences and availability align. A dedicated support team provides 24/7 assistance during travel, ensuring you have reliable help with assignments, housing logistics, credentialing, and any on‑the‑road needs. While the program lists weekly pay of $1,218 to $1,231, and while guaranteed hours are not specified (0.0), you’ll have a schedule designed for flexibility, with the potential for additional hours and extensions based on facility needs and your performance.
- Work environment: You’ll join a mission‑driven company that prioritizes holistic well‑being, teamwork, and continuous learning.
