Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse, specializing in Long‑Term Care, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is your invitation to blend clinical skill with heartfelt care, guiding residents through daily life with dignity, comfort, and independence. As a key member of our LTC teams, you’ll translate assessments into thoughtful care plans, respond swiftly to changing needs, and partner with registered nurses, physicians, therapists, and families to create a warm, stable environment where each resident feels seen and valued. Your hands-on expertise will support medication administration, vital signs monitoring, wound and ostomy care, infection prevention, and the coordination of restorative activities that sustain mobility and self‑care. The impact of your work touches families, caregivers, and the broader community, shaping a culture of trust, respect, and excellence. You’ll begin this journey on 02/02/2026, stepping into weeks of dynamic assignments designed to challenge you, broaden your scope, and deepen your commitment to geriatric care. While you’ll carry your own strengths into every shift, you’ll also discover fresh perspectives and practical strategies from seasoned teammates—together building a resilient, patient‑centered care network. And when you’re ready to broaden your horizons, this role opens pathways to additional assignments across the United States, expanding your professional footprint while maintaining a focus on compassionate LTC practice.
Albuquerque offers a distinctive backdrop for your nursing career. This city blends sun‑drenched days with a rich cultural tapestry, a thriving downtown, and access to remarkable natural beauty. Picture mornings spent greeting residents with warmth as the Sandia Mountains glow in the distance, afternoons exploring Old Town’s galleries and eateries, and weekends hiking, biking, or simply enjoying the Bosque trails along the Rio Grande. Albuquerque’s healthcare facilities value teamwork, innovation, and ongoing learning, providing mentorship, modern equipment, and collaborative cultures that empower you to refine your practice. Beyond city life, the surrounding New Mexico landscape—silent deserts, red rock vistas, and high desert skies—offers endless opportunities to recharge and reflect, making it easier to balance demanding shifts with restorative experiences. Our travel‑friendly program means you can experience fresh environments while maintaining a stable support network, with the chance to grow your resume and build relationships with diverse patient populations and care teams across the country.
In this role, you’ll fulfill core LTC responsibilities with precision and empathy. Your day‑to‑day duties include administering medications and assisting with treatments under supervision, monitoring and documenting vital signs, assessing changes in residents’ conditions, and coordinating with the interdisciplinary team to adjust care plans as needed. You’ll support activities of daily living, promote safe mobility, assist with feeding and hydration, and deliver compassionate end‑of‑life or comfort‑focused care when appropriate. You’ll document care accurately, advocate for residents’ preferences, and communicate clearly with families to provide updates and reassurance. The position offers clear opportunities for professional growth: pursue additional certifications in geriatric care, dementia support, wound care, or palliative approaches; gain exposure to interdisciplinary leadership and quality improvement initiatives; and position yourself for expanded responsibilities within LTC settings. We recognize the value of your experience and offer a comprehensive benefits package, including a competitive weekly pay range of $962–$1,004, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions that suit your career goals. You’ll also enjoy robust onboarding, ongoing education, and a supportive, team‑driven work environment. Importantly, you’ll have 24/7 support from our travel and clinical teams as you move between assignments, ensuring you always have guidance, resources, and backup when you need it. We also recognize top performers with bonus opportunities tied to reliability, clinical excellence, and teamwork, reinforcing our commitment to rewarding your dedication.
Our company values your growth as much as your contributions. We are devoted to empowering staff through clear pathways for career advancement, continuous learning, and a culture that puts well‑being and professional development at the forefront. You’ll experience a supportive atmosphere where experienced mentors are ready to share insights, where collaboration is encouraged, and where your voice helps shape best practices in long‑term care. The focus is not only on patient outcomes but also on your trajectory—helping you build confidence, broaden your skill set, and take on new challenges that align with your ambitions.
