Step into a pivotal role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where compassion and clinical excellence converge to elevate the everyday lives of residents. This multi-week assignment in Santa Fe, New Mexico, invites you to bring your hands‑on expertise, steady judgment, and patient-centered approach to a setting that values dignity, independence, and quality of life. Imagine a career path where your daily impact spans from routine comfort measures to advanced observation and collaboration with a seasoned care team. In the heart of New Mexico’s cultural tapestry and breathtaking landscapes, you’ll find a mission-driven environment that honors both your professional skills and your personal well-being. And as you explore this beautiful state, you’ll discover outdoor splendor, a vibrant community, and a pace that balances meaningful work with restorative time outdoors and in the city’s historic streets.
Santa Fe offers a distinctive backdrop for healthcare professionals who thrive in close-knit teams and person-centered care. Beyond the clinical responsibilities, you’ll experience a setting that blends rich heritage with modern amenities, providing access to artist pueblos, world-class cuisine, and outdoor adventures just a short drive away. The location is complemented by the opportunity to broaden your horizons through assignments across varied U.S. locations, enabling you to expand your professional repertoire while maintaining a core commitment to excellence in long-term care. Working in this locale means engaging with diverse residents and families, cultivating strong communication, cultural sensitivity, and adaptable care planning that respects individual preferences and life stories. The experience you gain here can serve as a springboard to extended opportunities, cross‑facility collaborations, and career growth that aligns with your long-term goals.
In this role, your responsibilities will center on comprehensive, compassionate care that supports residents’ health, safety, and comfort. You’ll perform essential nursing tasks under appropriate supervision, including monitoring vital signs, administering medications as delegated, and documenting changes with accuracy and timeliness. You’ll assess and respond to evolving conditions, implement care plans in partnership with RNs and physicians, manage wound care and skin integrity, assist with activities of daily living, and support nutrition and hydration needs. You’ll coordinate with interdisciplinary team members to prevent falls, reduce infection risk, and promote rehabilitation and mobility where appropriate. Because long-term care is a dynamic, relationship-driven field, you’ll spend meaningful time with residents and families, delivering clear updates and empathetic explanations of care decisions. The role emphasizes professional growth— opportunities to expand geriatric nursing knowledge, pursue relevant certifications, and participate in facility initiatives that enhance quality of care and patient experience. The position offers a clear pathway to broaden skill sets within the LTC specialty, with mentorship and structured opportunities designed to elevate your practice.
You’ll be supported by a competitive package built to underscore your value and stability. The assignment provides a weekly pay range of $1,495 to $1,540, with guaranteed 36 hours per week, ensuring predictable income as you plan your days. In addition to financial consideration, you can anticipate a compelling suite of benefits designed to acknowledge your dedication: a sign‑on bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease transition and relocation, and the possibility of contract extensions that recognize your contributions and allow you to deepen your impact within the LTC continuum. Comprehensive travel support is available, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated team to address any on‑the‑road needs, scheduling changes, or clinical questions, so you feel secure and empowered throughout your assignment. Hours, pay rates, and any extension opportunities are confirmed during the hiring process, but you can count on a transparent, supportive approach from day one.
The company behind this opportunity is grounded in values that empower staff to grow, achieve, and sustain a healthy work‑life balance. You’ll find a culture that prioritizes professional development, open communication, and a collaborative environment where experienced clinicians mentor newer teammates and where your voice contributes to program improvements.
