Located in the culturally rich landscape of Albuquerque, this opportunity places you in one of New Mexico’s most welcoming communities.

The cornerstones of this locale include safe neighborhoods, a welcoming med‑tech ecosystem, and opportunities to engage with residents who value their health and their providers.

In this Long‑Term Care focused LPN role, you’ll provide essential nursing support that enhances residents’ comfort and safety day in and day out. Your responsibilities include administering medications within scope, monitoring vital signs, assessing pain and mobility, performing routine wound care, assisting with activities of daily living, and supporting infection control and safety protocols. You’ll collaborate with physicians, therapists, and interdisciplinary teams to update care plans, communicate changes to families, and advocate for residents’ preferences and rights. You’ll help interpret orders, document care accurately, and participate in rounds to ensure continuity and quality of care. As you develop depth in geriatric assessment and chronic‑disease management, you’ll have opportunities to expand your skills through mentorship, structured education, and hands‑on leadership with a dedicated care team. The position also offers clear pathways for professional growth within the specialty, whether through additional certifications, leadership responsibilities on the unit, or smoother transitions to extended contracts that align with your career goals. Alongside clinical growth, you’ll gain access to a comprehensive benefits package designed to support you and your loved ones as you commit to this important work.

Compensation and benefits are designed to reflect the value you bring. Expect a competitive weekly pay range of $964 to $1,007, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week to provide stability and predictable scheduling.
