Casa De Oro Center
Mid Level
Answer the call to make a lasting impact as a Registered Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care. In Las Cruces, New Mexico, you’ll join a compassionate team that values patient dignity, individualized care, and the everyday moments that define life for residents. This multi-week assignment begins on 01/26/2026, offering a structured, predictable schedule while giving you the flexibility to grow within a thriving LTC environment. Earn a competitive weekly pay between $998 and $1,045 and enjoy guaranteed 36 hours each week as you deliver high-quality care to residents who deserve it. Beyond the numbers, you’ll experience the satisfaction that comes from guiding care plans, supporting families, and mentoring new team members who look to you for clinical excellence and calm leadership. You bring not only expertise but a steady presence that residents and families rely on during every shift, and this role lets you see the tangible difference your nursing skills make in real, everyday moments.
Las Cruces is a city painted with sunlit days, rugged mountain views, and a welcoming, easygoing atmosphere that makes it an inviting place to live and work. The Organ Mountains rise dramatically against the desert horizon, offering outdoor adventures, hiking, and spectacular sunsets after a rewarding day in care. Mesilla Valley’s rich history and vibrant local culture—from farmers markets to regional cuisine—provide enriching experiences outside the facility, helping sustain your energy and compassion day after day. And for travel nursing professionals, this opportunity may also open doors to assignments in other states across the U.S., delivering the variety and breadth you crave while benefiting from the support framework of a dedicated travel partner and a network of LTC facilities that value quality care. The location combines a reasonable cost of living, outdoor recreation, and a community vibe that makes collaborating with colleagues and connecting with residents a joy. You’ll be part of a team that understands the balance between high clinical standards and the human touch that makes LTC distinctive, with access to resources designed to support your personal and professional well-being.
In this role, you’ll provide comprehensive direct patient care to residents in long-term care settings, integrating clinical expertise with empathy and clear communication. Your key responsibilities include accurate administration of medications and treatments, skilled assessment of residents’ conditions, monitoring vital signs, managing chronic diseases, wound care, and rehabilitation support to promote mobility and independence. You’ll develop and implement individualized care plans in collaboration with physicians, therapists, social workers, and family members, ensuring that each resident’s goals and preferences remain central. You’ll engage in fall prevention initiatives, infection control practices, and safe mobility programs while documenting care with precision in electronic health records. You’ll also mentor and orient new staff, model best practices in patient safety, and advocate for residents’ comfort, dignity, and rights. The role offers meaningful professional growth within geriatrics and LTC, with opportunities to pursue certifications, assume leadership responsibilities, and contribute to quality improvement projects that uplift patient outcomes and staff satisfaction. The position includes a competitive bonus structure, housing assistance to help you settle with ease, and clear pathways for contract extensions if you and the site are a strong match. The company prioritizes robust support, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated operations team while you travel, ensuring you’re never navigating shifts, housing, or licensing logistics alone. You’ll have access to onboarding resources, licensure and credentialing support, travel coordination, safety guidelines, and a network of fellow travelers you can lean on during transitions between assignments.
Our company values staff empowerment, emphasizing career advancement and a supportive work environment where your expertise is recognized and your professional development is a priority. You’ll find mentors and peers who celebrate clinical excellence, seek continuous improvement, and foster collaboration across disciplines to deliver compassionate care. The culture centers on integrity, respect, and a shared commitment to elevating the standard of LTC. You’ll be encouraged to take ownership of your clinical practice while benefiting from structured support systems designed to help you thrive—whether you’re stepping into leadership roles, pursuing specialty certifications, or contributing to innovative care models that enhance resident quality of life.
If you’re ready to join a company that truly values your contribution and your growth, this is an exciting opportunity to advance your career while making a meaningful impact in the lives of residents and their families. Take the next step—apply now and embark on a rewarding journey where your RN expertise in long-term care helps shape brighter days for communities across the country, starting in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
