Albuquerque, NM

Rhb Ctr of Albuquerq
Mid Level
Step into a meaningful, patient‑focused role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long‑Term Care, right in the heart of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This opportunity blends clinical mastery with compassionate caregiving, empowering you to deepen residents’ quality of life one day at a time. As you wear the uniform with pride, you’ll partner with physicians, RNs, and therapy teams to deliver holistic care that honors independence, comfort, and dignity. Picture beginning your shift with a friendly greeting to residents, collaborating on tailored care plans, and witnessing small moments of joy that brighten days. Beyond the walls of the facility, you’ll experience the cultural richness and natural beauty that define New Mexico: stroll through Old Town’s historic charm, sway with the rhythm of local festivals, ride the Sandia Crest tram for a breathtaking view, and soak in sunlit days that invite outdoor adventures in a state famed for its bright skies and welcoming communities. And for those drawn to variety, there’s the possibility to contribute in other locations across the United States, expanding your clinical horizons while staying connected to a supportive network.
Location benefits go beyond the assignment itself. Albuquerque offers an affordable, vibrant urban environment with a thriving culinary scene, distinctive southwestern arts, and proximity to breathtaking landscapes—from the Sandia Mountains to nearby preserves and canyons. The city’s warm climate allows for year‑round outdoor activities, from hiking and biking to easy weekend getaways in Santa Fe, Taos, or Carlsbad Caverns. Working here means you’ll join a community that values balance, growth, and a thoughtful approach to aging—an ideal setting for a nurse who believes in compassionate, relationship‑based care. And if you’re motivated by diverse clinical experiences, the program supports opportunities to travel to varied facilities across the country, enriching your practice while maintaining the same standard of care and personal attention you bring to every shift.
As an LPN in Long‑Term Care, you’ll be entrusted with essential responsibilities that form the backbone of resident stability and progression. You’ll provide direct patient care under the direction of RNs and physicians, administer prescribed medications, monitor vital signs, and recognize early signs of infection or deterioration. You’ll contribute to robust care planning, document accurately in electronic health records, and communicate clearly with families about daily progress, care goals, and changes in condition. Your role will include assisting residents with daily living activities, supporting mobility and rehabilitation efforts, performing routine wound care, and ensuring safety and hygiene standards are rigorously maintained. You’ll have ongoing opportunities for professional development—whether pursuing geriatrics‑focused certifications, wound care expertise, or palliative care principles—to sharpen your clinical acumen and expand your scope of practice. The position also offers a gateway to leadership experiences within the unit, mentorship from seasoned nurses, and a collaborative environment designed to elevate your confidence and competence.
You’ll receive competitive compensation, including a weekly pay range of $1,004 to $1,082, with housing assistance and potential bonuses designed to recognize your dedication and expertise. The arrangement supports extension opportunities, giving you the chance to deepen your impact with long‑term residents or transition to new assignments that match your evolving interests. Comprehensive travel support is available with 24/7 assistance from our dedicated team, ensuring you never navigate shifts, housing, or relocation logistics alone. Whether you prefer stable, extended engagements at a single facility or recurring contracts at multiple sites, you’ll find a structure that aligns with your personal and professional goals. The program is designed to be flexible with scheduling and duration, allowing you to tailor your weeks to balance your well‑being, continuing education, and career trajectory.
Our company values are deeply rooted in empowering staff to advance their careers while maintaining a supportive, respectful workplace culture. We invest in your growth through mentorship, ongoing education, and clear pathways toward continued responsibility and leadership in geriatric care. You’ll be part of a team that prioritizes open communication, collaborative problem‑solving, and compassion in every interaction. Our commitment to you extends beyond clinical duties; we aim to foster a sense of belonging, recognition of your expertise, and a clear, achievable roadmap for professional development—so you can deliver exceptional care with confidence and pride.

Apply now to join a company that values your contribution, respects your professional journey, and stands with you as you shape the future of long‑term care.
