This multi-week assignment begins on 12/29/2025 and offers a guaranteed 36 hours per week, inviting you to bring comfort, dignity, and expert care to residents who rely on your steady presence and skilled hands. In this role, you’ll partner with families and interdisciplinary teams to promote quality of life, manage chronic conditions with compassion, and apply best practices in geriatric care. New Mexico’s landscapes provide more than backdrop; they inspire balance and resilience—sunlit desert skies, the splendor of the Sandia Mountains, and the unique culture and cuisine that make every shift feel meaningful. And separately, the state’s surrounding regions and national travel opportunities offer a broader horizon to apply your clinical expertise while enjoying diverse environments that strengthen your professional growth.

Location Benefits: Albuquerque blends southwestern charm with modern amenities, affordable living, and a welcoming community that values aging services.

Working in New Mexico, you’ll experience a rich cultural heritage, vibrant arts, and outdoor adventures that fit seamlessly around your schedule. And because this role is designed as a multi-location opportunity, you’ll have the chance to broaden your horizons while maintaining the stability of a guaranteed schedule and the security of a solid pay structure.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll perform essential nursing duties with autonomy and collaboration. Your responsibilities include medication administration under protocol, careful monitoring of vital signs, wound care, and routine clinical assessments; helping residents with daily living activities while preserving dignity and independence; updating care plans in coordination with RNs and physicians; recognizing subtle changes in condition and escalating concerns promptly; documenting accurately in electronic health records; and employing evidence-based practices to prevent falls, infections, and complications. The role supports professional growth through exposure to complex geriatric cases, pain management strategies, palliative care principles, and opportunities to mentor aides and nursing students. You’ll benefit from a competitive compensation package that includes a paid bonus program, housing assistance, and extension opportunities to tailor your travel timeline to your career goals. A dedicated travel support team is available 24/7 to assist with scheduling, transportation, accommodation, and real-time problem solving, ensuring you’re never alone while traveling. Weekly pay ranges from $1,422 to $1,534, with a guaranteed 36 hours each week, offering predictable income and stability throughout the assignment. The role also includes comprehensive benefits, including health, dental, and vision coverage options, retirement planning resources, and access to continuing education credits to help you advance within the field of geriatric care.
