Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where your hands-on expertise and compassionate leadership shape the daily lives of residents who depend on steady, attentive care. This extended assignment in Albuquerque, New Mexico, launching December 9, 2025, offers 36 guaranteed hours per week with a competitive weekly pay range of approximately $1,515 to $1,571, reflecting the value you bring to a dedicated care team. Envision guiding residents through routine activities with respect and dignity, coordinating with interdisciplinary teams, and advancing your clinical acumen in a specialty that blends practical nursing with the art of elder care. Beyond the bedside, this role invites you to contribute to a community that honors resilience, empathy, and the profound impact of consistent, high-quality care.
New Mexico’s sunlit landscapes frame more than a workplace; they offer an inspiring backdrop for professional growth and personal well-being. Albuquerque blends vibrant culture, historic charm, and modern conveniences, from the scenic peaks of the Sandia foothills to the historic Old Town, with easy access to hiking trails, festivals, and award-winning cuisine. The state’s diverse beauty—from expansive desert skies to serene parks—provides opportunities to unwind after shifts and reconnect with what sustains you. For those who relish new experiences, this position also presents the option to work in various locations across the U.S., inviting you to expand your clinical horizons while delivering consistent, person-centered LTC care. You’ll experience a balance of urban energy and tranquil retreats, with warm communities that value continuity of care, companionship for residents, and supportive teamwork.
In this role, you’ll deliver comprehensive long-term care through skilled supervision and hands-on nursing. Key responsibilities include monitoring residents’ health status, administering medications according to physician orders, performing accurate assessments, and documenting changes in electronic medical records with meticulous attention to safety and quality. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, coordinate care plans with RNs and physicians, manage wound care and infection control, and advocate for resident comfort, dignity, and autonomy. The position emphasizes professional growth within geriatrics and long-term care, offering opportunities to expand your scope of practice, pursue certifications in geriatric care, and assume leadership roles as you gain experience. As you travel or transition between assignments, you’ll benefit from a robust training ecosystem and ongoing mentorship that supports clinical excellence and compassionate care delivery. Offered benefits include a competitive bonus structure, housing assistance, and clear pathways to contract extensions, enabling you to build a stable, progressive trajectory in LTC nursing.
Support is central to our approach. You won’t walk alone on this journey—our 24/7 travel support team is available to assist you on every shift, every city, and every step of the way. From onboarding and licensure logistics to housing arrangements, shift confirmations, and real-time guidance during assignments, you’ll have reliable, responsive help whenever you need it. The program is designed to remove barriers so you can focus on what matters most: delivering patient-centered care, growing your clinical competencies, and contributing to a positive, energized workplace culture. We prioritize clear communication, consistent feedback, and tools that empower you to excel; you’ll find a supportive environment that values your input and championing your professional development at every turn.
Our company is grounded in empowering staff, fostering a culture of respect and continuous improvement, and championing career advancement. We invest in nurses who care deeply about residents and who aspire to broaden their impact in long-term care through ongoing education, leadership opportunities, and cross-training across settings. We recognize the essential role of your expertise in elevating care standards and enriching resident lives, and we stand ready to back your goals with resources, mentorship, and a collaborative community that celebrates each milestone.
If you are ready to make a lasting difference in LTC, to grow within a supportive network, and to experience both Albuquerque’s unique appeal and the chance to explore other U.S. locations, apply now. This is your opportunity to join a company that values your contribution, invests in your development, and stands beside you as you shape the future of geriatric care—one resident, one shift, one day at a time.
