Belen Meadows Center
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where your hands-on care creates daily moments of comfort, safety, and dignity for residents. In this travel assignment, you’ll administer medications, monitor health status, support activities of daily living, document changes, and collaborate with a caring team to implement individualized care plans. You’ll mentor peers, refine clinical judgment, and grow your leadership skills as you move through a variety of long-term care settings. Beginning 12/22/2025, for several weeks, you’ll work 36 guaranteed hours each week, with a competitive weekly pay range of $889 to $973. This opportunity blends meaningful patient impact with the chance to broaden your professional horizons across New Mexico and, if you choose, across the nation, delivering person-centered care in communities that value aging with dignity.
Beautiful places to explore in New Mexico: The landscapes around Belen invite outdoor adventures and peaceful respite after meaningful shifts. You can explore the cultural richness of Santa Fe, the historic charm of Old Town Albuquerque, and the scenic byways that thread through the state’s high desert and mountain communities. For nature lovers, Carlsbad Caverns National Park reveals subterranean wonders, while White Sands National Park offers surreal, sunlit horizons. The state’s sunsets, clear skies, and inviting towns create opportunities to unwind and recharge between assignments, making your travel nursing experience not only professionally rewarding but also personally enriching.
Location Benefits: Working in Belen places you in a welcoming community with strong local networks and a reasonable cost of living, while offering proximity to outdoor recreation and urban amenities. The role also opens the door to opportunities across various locations in the United States, allowing you to expand your clinical exposure, adapt to diverse facility cultures, and build a broader professional portfolio. To ease transitions, we provide housing assistance, a competitive sign-on or completion bonus, and extension opportunities that enable you to extend with facilities that align with your goals. Comprehensive support is available 24/7 from travel coordinators, clinical leads, and on-call teams, so you’re never navigating a new assignment alone. This holistic framework helps you focus on delivering high-quality patient care while enjoying the stability of guaranteed hours.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this long-term care setting, you’ll perform responsibilities that include medication administration, regular health status assessments, wound and skin care management, assistance with activities of daily living, documentation of changes, and collaboration with the care team to update and execute care plans. You’ll communicate clearly with families and physicians about residents’ progress, and participate in quality improvement initiatives to enhance outcomes. Growth opportunities are available through optional certifications, preceptor roles for new nurses, and pathways toward leadership positions such as charge nurse or supervisor. Compensation reflects the value you bring: weekly pay within the $889–$973 range, 36 guaranteed hours per week, and housing assistance to ease relocation. A sign-on or completion bonus recognizes your commitment, and contract extensions enable you to continue contributing to trusted facilities while deepening your expertise. You’ll benefit from relentless support—24/7—from our travel and clinical teams, ensuring smooth operations, rapid issue resolution, and guidance as you navigate new environments while delivering compassionate, professional care.
