Rhb Ctr of Albuquerq
Mid Level
Step into a vital, life-enhancing role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where your hands-on care and professional compassion directly shape the daily lives of residents. In this specialty, you’ll be at the forefront of holistic aging support—helping residents maintain dignity, comfort, and independence while navigating chronic conditions. You’ll collaborate with physicians, RN colleagues, therapists, and family members to translate care plans into practical, compassionate actions. As you guide residents through routines, pain management, medication administration under supervision, wound care, and meticulous documentation, you’ll witness the tangible impact of your expertise every shift. This opportunity begins December 1, 2025, and offers a contract lasting several weeks with the potential for extension based on facility needs and your demonstrated excellence. This is more than a job with a schedule—it’s a chance to influence quality of life for individuals who deserve thoughtful, respectful care in every moment.
Springboard into Albuquerque’s unique setting, where the location itself becomes part of the experience. The city’s blend of sunlit days, scenic desert beauty, and rich cultural heritage provides a welcoming backdrop for both professional and personal growth. From the majestic vistas of the Sandia Mountains to the historic charm of Old Town and the vibrant neighborhood scenes, Albuquerque offers outdoor recreation, diverse dining, and a community rooted in warmth and resilience. Beyond the immediate facility, you’ll appreciate the broader appeal of working in New Mexico—lower housing costs relative to many urban markets, a strong sense of community, and opportunities to explore a region known for its natural beauty, relaxed pace, and sun-soaked skies. The role also offers the possibility to work in additional locations across the U.S., giving you exposure to varied facilities and resident populations while maintaining a core commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your professional growth and well-being. In this long-term care setting, you’ll perform essential nursing tasks: monitoring residents’ health status, administering medications as directed, supporting mobility and activities of daily living, assisting with feeding and hydration, managing wounds with appropriate dressing changes, and participating in care planning and ongoing assessments. You’ll document care plans, progress notes, and changes in condition with accuracy to inform the broader care team, ensuring continuity and quality across shifts. The position emphasizes professional development within geriatric care, memory care, chronic disease management, and rehab-informed practices, with opportunities to expand your skill set and pursue advanced certifications relevant to long-term care. The pay is competitive, with weekly compensation ranging from $1,054 to $1,081, reflecting the value of your expertise and reliability. In addition, you’ll have access to housing assistance to ease transitions between assignments, and the option for contract extensions if you and the teams you serve want ongoing collaboration. A key feature of this opportunity is comprehensive support: 24/7 assistance while you travel with the company, ready to address scheduling changes, resource needs, or on-site questions. While the hours aren’t guaranteed, extension opportunities are available to continue your valuable contribution and to advance within the network of facilities you’ll serve.
The company’s values center on empowering staff, fostering a culture of respect, growth, and collaboration. Here, your professional aspirations are recognized and nurtured, with clear pathways for career advancement and cross-facility exposure. You’ll be part of a supportive ecosystem that prioritizes well-being, mentorship, and open communication, ensuring you feel valued as soon as you begin and every step of the way. The organization commits to creating a warm, encouraging environment where experienced LPNs can mentor newer teammates, contribute to quality improvement initiatives, and champion resident advocacy. Your work will be seen, appreciated, and leveraged to broaden your leadership potential within long-term care.
If you’re ready to bring dedicated, compassionate nursing to a community that deeply values every resident’s life story, this is your moment. Apply to join a company that respects your expertise, supports your growth, and backs you with robust benefits, flexible extension opportunities, and unmatched travel support. Albuquerque offers a home base with access to regional beauty and culture, while the broader network invites you to explore diverse care settings across the U.S. Your contribution will matter—now and for the future of long-term care.
Note: Hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process, with extension opportunities considered based on performance and staffing needs.
