Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Beginning February 2, 2026, you will bring compassionate, hands‑on care to residents who deserve dignity, comfort, and independence. In this role you’ll partner with a skilled interdisciplinary team to support daily living activities, manage chronic conditions, monitor health trends, and respond quickly to changes in residents’ needs. Your work will leave a lasting imprint on individuals and families, and you’ll grow with a mission‑driven organization that values your clinical judgment and your humanity. And beyond the day‑to‑day, you can savor the beauty of New Mexico—sunrise hikes in the Sandia Mountains, vibrant cultural festivals, and expansive desert landscapes that refresh your perspective after a shift.
Based in Albuquerque, you’ll enjoy a community that blends urban amenities with outdoor adventure. The opportunity also exists to work across diverse locations in the United States, broadening your professional horizons while receiving steady support. You’ll gain experience across varied long‑term care settings—from intimate local facilities to larger campuses—each offering unique patient populations, care goals, and opportunities to refine your geriatric assessment skills. Travel assignments are designed to be engaging rather than disruptive, with pathways to extended opportunities, strong networks on the ground, and resources that help you balance responsibility with personal well‑being. Alongside your clinical role, you’ll benefit from structured housing assistance and practical logistics support, making it easier to focus on delivering high‑quality care to residents and their families.
In this position, you will undertake a range of responsibilities that advance both resident well‑being and your professional growth. Key duties include administering medications and treatments per physician orders, implementing and updating individualized care plans, performing wound care, monitoring chronic conditions, assessing changes in health status, and communicating findings to the supervising RN and the broader care team. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, support mobility and fall prevention, and ensure safety and infection control protocols are consistently followed. Detailed documentation in electronic medical records, accurate vitals tracking, and timely escalation of concerns are essential. Collaboration is at the heart of this role: you’ll work closely with RNs, physicians, therapists, and families to align care with goals, respect patient preferences, and uphold quality standards. The opportunity for ongoing professional development is strong, with access to mentoring, specialized training in long‑term geriatric care, and the chance to deepen expertise in chronic disease management, palliative considerations, and care transitions. The role also offers a competitive travel bonus, housing assistance, and the option to extend assignments, enabling you to build a robust resume while you continue to grow.
Our company is grounded in values that empower staff to thrive. We are committed to fostering a supportive, collaborative environment where your voice matters and your career path is clear. You’ll find proactive leadership, transparent performance feedback, and structured advancement opportunities that reward initiative, continuity of care, and compassionate practice. A dedicated support network runs 24/7, ensuring you have reliable assistance whenever you need it, whether you’re navigating a shift in a new facility or coordinating care while traveling. This comprehensive backing helps you stay focused on patient outcomes, maintain work‑life balance, and feel secure in every assignment you undertake.
If you are a dedicated LPN with a passion for long‑term care, ready to make a meaningful impact while exploring new places and expanding your clinical repertoire, this opportunity in Albuquerque is for you. Apply today to join a company that values your contribution, supports your development, and stands beside you as you grow your career in long‑term care. Embrace the chance to serve with excellence, experience the richness of New Mexico, and shape the future of geriatric care—for residents, families, and your own professional journey.
