Las Cruces, NM
Contracted
Casa De Oro Center
Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, delivering compassionate, expert care to residents who rely on your steady hands and warm, reassuring presence. Beginning December 9, 2025, this multi-week contract invites you to bring your clinical excellence to Las Cruces, New Mexico, and to experience the satisfaction that comes from helping seniors maintain dignity, comfort, and independence. Picture your days filled with purposeful tasks, from meticulous medication administration and precise documentation to vigilant health monitoring, wound care, and coordinated care planning. You’ll partner with a dedicated interdisciplinary team to enhance daily living, support mobility, manage chronic conditions, and respond with empathy to evolving resident needs. Whether you’re coordinating with physicians, collaborating with families, or mentoring newer staff, your expertise will illuminate the path to better outcomes in a setting that values both clinical skill and compassionate connection. And while you focus on care, you’ll be supported by a system designed to help you thrive—physically, professionally, and personally.
New Mexico isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a destination that enriches both your practice and your life. Las Cruces combines a welcoming community with vibrant cultural offerings, abundant outdoor spaces, and a pace that invites balance. The area around the Mesilla Valley offers mild winters, sunlit skies, and easy access to desert landscapes, parks, and unique local events. Beyond Las Cruces, this opportunity opens doors to assignments across the United States, giving you the chance to broaden your professional horizons while continuing to deliver exceptional geriatric care. You’ll enjoy the appeal of a stable, family-friendly town while rafting, hiking, or exploring science and history museums on days off. And you’ll benefit from the region’s affordability and the ability to plant roots or broaden your experiences with travel-friendly flexibility.
Role specifics and benefits are crafted to recognize your expertise and support your growth. In this position, you’ll perform essential long-term care responsibilities with precision and compassion: administer medications safely, monitor for changes in condition, manage chronic diseases, implement care plans, support activities of daily living, assist with mobility and falls prevention, provide wound care, and document outcomes accurately in electronic health records. You’ll engage in regular assessments, participate in quality improvement initiatives, and contribute to person-centered care plans that reflect residents’ values, preferences, and life histories. The opportunity emphasizes ongoing professional development—pursue geriatrics-focused certifications, advance your clinical leadership skills, and expand your scope through mentoring and collaboration with RNs and physicians. We offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend contracts based on performance and facility needs. Weekly pay ranges from $1,430 to $1,517, reflecting experience and location, with a clear process for adjustments as you continue to contribute. While guaranteed hours are not fixed at the outset (0.0), the program prioritizes consistent scheduling and reliable support to optimize your work‑life balance. In addition, you’ll have access to extended assignments and relocation options that smoothly align with your career goals. Importantly, you’ll receive 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring that you and your clients always have a trusted point of contact, anytime, anywhere.
Our organization is built on values that empower staff and foster a culture of growth. You’ll find a workplace that respects your contributions, offers mentoring and continuing education, and encourages advancement into roles of greater responsibility within geriatrics and long-term care management. We champion an environment where teamwork, respect, and open communication are foundational, and where your professional development is paired with meaningful, real-world impact. The support network—local supervisors, clinical coordinators, and a dedicated travel support team—exists to remove barriers and help you focus on what you do best: delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. You’ll be welcomed into a community that understands the importance of your vocation and provides the resources to sustain your passion and momentum.
If you’re ready to make a tangible difference in residents’ lives while expanding your clinical acumen and enjoying the benefits of a flexible, supportive travel assignment, we invite you to apply. This is more than a job—it's a chance to join a company that values your expertise, respects your autonomy, and invests in your ongoing growth. Begin a rewarding chapter in Las Cruces, with the possibility of exploring new communities across the U.S., while contributing to a culture that places people first. Take the next step toward a career where compassion meets clinical excellence and your professional journey is nurtured every mile of the way. Apply now and position yourself at the forefront of long-term care, where your skills help seniors live with dignity, comfort, and hope. Note: The stated hours and pay are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
