Genesis - West Region - Bear Canyon Rhb Ctr
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, where every shift makes a meaningful difference in residents’ lives. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, you’ll join compassionate teams that champion dignity, comfort, and autonomy for seniors and adults managing chronic conditions. This opportunity begins on 02/02/2026 and runs for several weeks, with a competitive weekly pay of $882-$917. While your primary assignment is in Albuquerque, you’ll also have the option to take assignments in other locations across the United States, broadening your professional scope and enriching your nursing journey. And when you’re off duty, take in the beauty of New Mexico—from the sunlit deserts and red rock vistas to the Sandia Mountains and historic towns—where downtime can feel like a retreat and inspiration for the work you do.
Location Benefits: Albuquerque offers a robust healthcare ecosystem with facilities that emphasize person-centered care, interdisciplinary teamwork, and ongoing mentorship. You’ll collaborate with RNs, physicians, therapists, and social workers to deliver consistent, quality care, while gaining exposure to diverse case mixes and care models. The region’s outdoor opportunities and vibrant cultural scene provide a balanced lifestyle that supports resilience and well-being. The chance to rotate to other U.S. locations during contract periods adds variety—different facilities, patient populations, and care settings—strengthening your clinical confidence and broadening your professional network.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an LPN in Long-Term Care, your daily responsibilities include medication administration under physician orders, monitoring patient status, and documenting observations in electronic records with accuracy and privacy. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, support rehabilitation goals, and participate in wound care and infection prevention programs as appropriate. Collaboration is central: you’ll work closely with the broader care team to update care plans, communicate changes, and advocate for residents’ preferences and rights. The position offers clear pathways for growth—pursue gerontology or wound-care certifications, assume lead or charge nurse responsibilities, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that enhance resident outcomes. Benefits are competitive and practical: a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or short-term housing, and opportunities to extend contracts to deepen impact with facilities you establish rapport with. Traveling with our program comes with 24/7 support from dedicated travel coordinators and clinical supervisors, ensuring you have reliable help with scheduling, compliance, and on-site needs wherever your assignments take you. Note that hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process. The program’s structure accommodates weeks-long commitments with flexible scheduling, and the Guaranteed Hours field shows 0.0, reflecting the variable nature of travel contracts while preserving your freedom to choose assignments.
Company Values: Our company is built on empowering staff, advancing careers, and cultivating a supportive, respectful work environment. We believe in recognizing your expertise, providing resources for ongoing learning, and prioritizing safety, teamwork, and compassionate patient care. This culture translates into meaningful mentorship, opportunities to lead, and a collaborative atmosphere where your voice helps shape care delivery and resident well-being.

This is your chance to join a traveling healthcare team that values your contributions, supports your growth, and invites you to explore new places while making a lasting impact on residents and families.
