Step into a role where your compassion, clinical skill, and commitment to dignity can transform daily life for seniors. As a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, you’ll be the steady hand that supports residents through routine care, acute changes, and the small moments that make a house a home. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, you’ll blend clinical excellence with a community that values warmth, respect, and neighborly spirit. Imagine mornings spent coordinating medications, assessing comfort, and partnering with families, therapists, and physicians to tailor care plans that honor each person’s preferences and history. You’ll be at the heart of a caring environment where every interaction matters and outcomes are measured by comfort, safety, and quality of life. Beyond the bedside, you’ll contribute to a team culture that champions growth, mentorship, and a shared commitment to elevating long‑term care. For professionals who crave both meaningful work and new horizons, this assignment can open doors to additional experiences across the United States, allowing you to broaden your clinical repertoire while staying anchored in the values you bring to the table.
Located in the culturally rich landscape of Albuquerque, this opportunity places you in one of New Mexico’s most welcoming communities. You’ll enjoy a warm climate, vibrant arts and culinary scenes, and access to stunning desert and mountain landscapes that support an active, outdoor lifestyle. Albuquerque combines a relatively affordable cost of living with strong healthcare infrastructure, making it an ideal setting to deliver patient‑centered care with the support you deserve. 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. And for those drawn to exploration, the broader Southwest offers unforgettable canyons, mesas, and sunsets—perfect for recharging between shifts. If you’re intrigued by the idea of serving in a community that appreciates continuity of care and personal connection, you’ll find Albuquerque and the state’s natural beauty a compelling backdrop for your travel‑nursing journey. At the same time, this role provides you with the flexibility to work in various U.S. locations, enriching your professional experience while maintaining the stability you need.
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.
