Step into an essential role as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, where your hands-on care and compassionate leadership shape daily life for residents who rely on steady, skilled support. This opportunity starts February 2, 2026, inviting dedicated professionals to join a focused team for a contract measured in weeks, with the potential for future extensions. In long‑term care settings, your expertise in medication administration, assessments, wound care, pain management, and ADL assistance becomes the foundation of comfort, safety, and dignity for residents across diverse stages of aging and health. This is more than a job—it's a chance to mentor care assistants, collaborate with physicians and therapists, and elevate the standard of daily living for individuals who deserve consistency, empathy, and high-quality clinical care. Envision the difference you can make through thoughtful nursing care, meticulous documentation, and proactive communication with families and interdisciplinary teams. As you embark on this journey, you’ll be part of a network that values your commitment to patient-centered outcomes, while embracing the variety and challenge that comes with long‑term care responsibilities.

Nestled in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this role offers more than clinical fulfillment—it provides access to a region of remarkable beauty and warmth. Albuquerque blends a sunlit desert landscape with a rich cultural tapestry, where historic Old Town, vibrant arts districts, and a thriving culinary scene sit alongside easy access to outdoor adventures. The city’s year‑round sunshine and nearby scenery—from the Sandia Mountains to scenic trails and parks—make work-life balance effortless. Beyond the city, New Mexico’s diverse landscapes—from high desert to alpine routes—invite weekend explorations, making each assignment an opportunity to recharge through outdoor discovery. The opportunity to work across locations in New Mexico and, when possible, other U.S. sites can add variety to your professional experience and broaden your understanding of care practices in different communities, while keeping you rooted in the rewarding field of long‑term care.

In this role, your responsibilities center on delivering compassionate, competent care tailored to residents’ evolving needs. You’ll perform clinical tasks with precision—from medication administration and vital sign monitoring to catheter care, wound management, and fall prevention. You’ll support residents’ daily living activities and mobility, assist with rehabilitation goals in partnership with therapists, and advocate for residents in interdisciplinary care planning. Growth opportunities abound: you can broaden your clinical competencies, take on precepting responsibilities for newly arriving staff, and participate in ongoing education to deepen your expertise in chronic disease management, palliative care principles, and geriatric assessment. The position comes with competitive compensation in a weekly range of $842–$886, plus a range of benefits designed to support your professional and personal growth. In addition to a sign‑on or retention bonus, housing assistance is available to ease transitions, and contract extensions offer a clear pathway to continuing your impact within the same supportive team. You’ll work within a framework that emphasizes continuity of care, quality metrics, and resident satisfaction, while enjoying the stability that comes from long‑term care environments that value your evolving skill set. A 24/7 support network is available as you travel, ensuring you’re never alone on the road—our dedicated team is ready to assist you whenever and wherever you practice.
