Introduction
Step into a pivotal Licensed Practical Nurse role in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where your clinical insight and compassionate presence directly enrich residents’ daily lives. This assignment is more than a position—it’s a chance to shape care plans, mentor teammates, and deliver dignified comfort to aging and chronically ill populations. Start on 01/13/2026 for a weeks-long engagement that guarantees 36 hours each week, with a competitive pay rate of $1,058-$1,101. You’ll work within a supportive framework that values your clinical judgment and your dedication to patient-centered outcomes, while you explore the scenic richness and cultural heritage of the Southwest.
New Mexico Highlights
New Mexico welcomes you with sunlit vistas, dramatic desert terrain, and mountain air that renews purpose. From the red rocks of the desert to the evergreen slopes of the Sandias, the state offers endless opportunities for hiking, stargazing, and outdoor exploration. Albuquerque’s historic Old Town, local breweries, and farm-to-table dining create a vibrant backdrop for life outside the hospital. The night skies above the VLA and other observatories invite reflection after a day of meaningful care. This setting supports a balanced career, where you can recharge with weekend adventures and return to work with renewed focus and empathy for residents.
Location Benefits
Albuquerque provides a thriving medical community with diverse patient populations, teaching facilities, and collaborative care models that advance your clinical practice. The city’s climate and access to outdoor recreation translate into sustained well-being for staff, while the region’s relative affordability supports meaningful living arrangements during travel assignments. For those seeking broader horizons, the opportunity to work at multiple U.S. facilities under one program ensures varied clinical exposure, seamless credentialing, and a centralized support network. Across sites, you’ll find modern nursing units, specialty geriatric teams, and interdisciplinary rounds that foster professional growth and a deeper understanding of long-term care dynamics.
Role Specifics and Benefits
Your responsibilities as an LPN in Long-Term Care include comprehensive patient assessment, accurate medication administration, monitoring of vital signs, wound and skin integrity care, and timely documentation in electronic health records. You’ll contribute to individualized care plans, coordinate with physicians, therapists, and social workers, and implement restorative strategies that promote independence and quality of life. You’ll identify and escalate changes in condition, manage pain and comfort measures, prevent infections, and ensure safe mobility and transfer practices. The role offers a clear path for advancement in a supportive environment—consider specialization in wound care, pain management, or palliative care, or take on a mentoring role to guide CNAs and new staff through onboarding and competency checks. In addition to base pay, you’ll receive a bonus opportunity, housing assistance to simplify relocation, and options to extend your assignment for continued growth and continuity of care. A robust 24/7 support network accompanies you as you travel with the company, ready to assist with scheduling, licensure questions, or on-the-ground clinical guidance. Expect comprehensive onboarding, ongoing clinical supervision, and resources designed to promote professional satisfaction, resilience, and work-life balance. Your dedication will be recognized with ongoing education stipends and opportunities to lead quality improvement initiatives.
