In this role you will partner with a multidisciplinary team to assess needs, implement care plans, administer medications, monitor chronic conditions, and deliver comfort and dignity to aging adults. Your influence will extend beyond routine tasks as you advocate for residents, educate families, and help create an environment where every individual can maintain independence and a sense of belonging.

Albuquerque offers a unique backdrop for professional fulfillment and personal balance. The city blends a rich cultural tapestry with outdoor adventure, from the sun-kissed mesas to the scenic Sandia foothills, all just a short drive from your daily responsibilities. In this area, you’ll enjoy a welcoming community, a vibrant dining scene, and cultural events that celebrate heritage and artistry. The region also provides convenient access to urban amenities, education, healthcare resources, and family-friendly activities that make long-term care nursing a sustainable and rewarding career.

This mix of local charm and itinerant opportunity can enrich both your clinical practice and your personal growth, offering you the chance to apply LTC expertise in diverse settings while remaining rooted in a supportive, purpose-driven workplace.

In this Long-Term Care LPN role, you’ll be responsible for key clinical duties and ongoing professional growth. Core responsibilities include performing accurate assessments, monitoring vital signs, administering medications and treatments, and documenting care plans with precision. You’ll participate in care coordination, work closely with RNs and physicians to adjust plans as conditions evolve, and communicate clearly with residents and their families about care goals, progress, and expectations. You’ll contribute to wound care, pain management, fall prevention, infection control, and daily living activities that sustain comfort and independence. The position also emphasizes mentorship and growth opportunities within the LTC specialty, with pathways to leadership, charge nurse responsibilities, and specialty training that expand your scope. You’ll benefit from competitive compensation, a sign-on bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary stays, and the potential for contract extensions that align with your career trajectory. A cornerstone of the experience is comprehensive support from a dedicated team that provides 24/7 assistance while you’re traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never alone when you need guidance, resources, or a quick resolution to any situation. While the listed weekly pay ranges from $847 to $897 and the starting duration is defined by the assignment, it’s important to note that final terms including guaranteed hours and total compensation will be confirmed during the hiring process, reflecting your experience and the needs of each facility.

The company values a culture that empowers its staff to grow, learn, and advance in a respectful, collaborative environment.
