Mid Level
Begin a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care in Silver City, New Mexico. In this multi‑week assignment, your clinical skill, empathy, and steady presence will empower residents to maintain dignity, comfort, and independence day after day. You’ll assess health status, administer medications in accordance with policy, support activities of daily living, and partner with a compassionate care team to implement individualized plans. This opportunity starts on 02/06/2026, offers a guaranteed 36 hours per week, and provides a competitive weekly pay of $1,015–$1,062, with clear potential for extension as needs evolve. You’ll be part of a program that values your expertise and your ability to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Silver City offers a gateway to the Southwest’s extraordinary landscapes and outdoor treasures. Nestled near the Gila National Forest and the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, the area invites you to unwind on trails, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, and immerse yourself in a community rich with history and culture. It’s a place where you can balance rewarding clinical work with opportunities to explore pristine canyons, hot springs, and scenic drives. For those who crave variety, our program also places clinicians in other locations across the United States, delivering diverse experiences in different facilities while maintaining a robust support network. You’ll experience the advantages of working in a welcoming smaller city while keeping doors open to broader professional horizons.
In this long‑term care nursing role, you’ll be at the center of patient-centered care. Your responsibilities include monitoring residents’ health, recognizing subtle changes, and communicating observations clearly to the interdisciplinary team. You’ll administer medications safely, manage documentation with precision, and participate in care planning meetings to ensure plans reflect evolving needs. You’ll assist with mobility, daily routines, nutrition, and personal care, all while upholding the highest standards of infection control and safety. You’ll build trust with residents and families by offering consistent, compassionate communication about care goals and progress. The position also presents a clear pathway for professional growth within long‑term care, with opportunities to deepen skills in geriatric assessment, wound care, palliative care basics, and care coordination as you gain experience.
Beyond clinical duties, you’ll receive a comprehensive package designed to support your success. In addition to the competitive pay, you may be eligible for a signing or completion bonus, housing assistance to ease transitions, and the chance to extend your contract for ongoing opportunities. You’ll have access to 24/7 support while traveling with the company, including a dedicated clinical liaison and on‑call help—so you’re never on your own when navigating complex cases or staffing needs. Our program emphasizes onboarding, continual education, and a culture of collaboration where your voice is heard and your professional development is encouraged. We’re committed to empowering staff to advance their careers, whether by taking on additional responsibilities within LT care, mentoring peers, or exploring new clinical specialties as your interests grow.
Our values center on integrity, compassion, teamwork, and growth. The company champions a supportive work environment where nurses feel respected, appreciated, and equipped to deliver high‑quality, resident‑focused care. If you’re seeking a role that honors your clinical judgment and your dedication to elder well‑being, this assignment aligns with your aspirations. You’ll join teams that celebrate experience, learning, and meaningful connections with residents and families, while you expand your impact across multiple care settings over time.
