Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in Long-Term Care, starting February 2, 2026, on a Weeks-long assignment designed to amplify your clinical impact and professional growth. In Silver City, New Mexico, you’ll join a compassionate team that places residents’ dignity, comfort, and well-being at the center of every shift. This opportunity blends hands-on LTC practice with the flexibility of travel, offering you a platform to refine essential skills—medication administration, assessment, care planning, and patient advocacy—while weaving in rich professional experiences across diverse settings. Imagine the satisfaction of guiding residents through daily living activities, monitoring health changes, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to craft individualized care plans. This role isn’t just a job; it’s a doorway to elevating your clinical craft while delivering warmth and stability to those who need it most.
Discover a region where natural beauty and outdoor adventure complement a vibrant healthcare community. Silver City is framed by striking desert landscapes, the scenic Gila National Forest, and expansive blue skies that invite hiking, fishing, and scenic drives. The town’s historic charm, friendly neighborhoods, and local culture create an inviting backdrop for your travel assignment. Beyond the immediate locale, you’ll have the opportunity to work in various locations across the United States, experiencing different patient populations, facility cultures, and LTC environments. Whether you’re caring for residents in a small-town facility with close-knit teams or a larger facility with more complex cases, you’ll gain fresh perspectives that enhance your practice and expand your professional network. The shared experience of serving diverse communities fosters resilience, adaptability, and a broader understanding of geriatric care in rural and urban contexts alike.
Role specifics and benefits that set this opportunity apart:
- Core responsibilities: deliver high-quality long-term care nursing services to residents, monitor vital signs, administer medications and treatments per physician orders, assist with activities of daily living, supervise and mentor CNAs and other support staff, ensure accurate and timely documentation, participate in care planning and rounds, uphold infection control and safety protocols, and promptly report clinical changes to the supervising nurse and medical team. You’ll engage in pain management, wound and skin care, mobility assistance, fall risk prevention, and comfort-focused interventions that preserve dignity and autonomy.
- Professional growth: leverage LTC-specific mentorship and ongoing education to deepen geriatric assessment skills, palliative care competencies, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. Expand your scope through cross-facility experiences and potential specialty certifications, all designed to accelerate your career trajectory within a company that values internal advancement.
- Competitive compensation and incentives: weekly pay ranges from $995 to $1,034, reflecting experience and location-specific considerations. You’ll have access to an eligible completion or performance bonus, with opportunities for extension on successful assignments. A housing stipend or housing arrangements are provided to ease transition, and the role is structured to support long-term partnership and recurring assignments as you choose.
- Comprehensive support: benefit from 24/7 assistance as you travel with the company, including a dedicated clinical liaison, travel coordination, and on-call coverage to address any day-to-day needs. Our team is committed to removing barriers so you can focus on delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.
- Housing and logistics: housing options or stipends are provided to ensure comfortable, convenient living arrangements near your assignment site, enabling you to rest well and perform at your best after shifts. Flexible scheduling and clear communication contribute to a balanced work-life rhythm, even as you explore new communities.
