Travel Licensed Practical Nurse Long-Term Care Job
Albuquerque, NM
Contracted
Sandia Ridge Center
Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, bringing compassionate care, skilled assessments, and person-centered support to residents who deserve dignity, comfort, and continuity in their daily living. This multi-week assignment in Albuquerque, New Mexico, begins March 6, 2026, offering a steady 36 hours per week with competitive weekly pay in the range of 846 to 861 dollars, and the potential for contract extensions. Imagine the impact you can have as you partner with families, physicians, and interdisciplinary teams to enhance quality of life, manage complex care needs, and create a warm, secure environment where residents feel seen, heard, and valued. Beyond the role itself, take a moment to envision the beauty of New Mexico as your backdrop—sunlit days along the Rio Grande, the majesty of the Sandia Foothills, the quiet awe of sunrise over Sandia Peaks, and the artful charm of Old Town in Albuquerque. The state’s diverse landscapes offer opportunities to unwind between shifts, explore scenic trails, and experience a culture rich in history and hospitality.
Working in Albuquerque provides a compelling blend of urban energy and access to outdoor adventures. You’ll be part of a community that values thriving neighborhoods, local cuisine, and a calendar full of cultural experiences—from farmers markets to arts festivals. This assignment also opens the door to opportunities to work in other locations across the United States, allowing you to broaden your professional horizons while maintaining the stability and continuity you value. Whether you’re drawn to boutique facilities in tranquil neighborhoods or larger campuses with advanced care programs, the travel framework is designed to support you while you grow professionally. The flexibility to explore different settings can sharpen your clinical judgment, expand your scope of practice in long-term care, and deepen your ability to advocate for residents’ comfort, safety, and autonomy in every shift.
In this role, you will deliver direct patient care under supervision, administer medications, monitor vital signs, assist with activities of daily living, perform wound care, and participate in care planning that aligns with residents’ goals and health trajectories. You will collaborate with physicians, RNs, therapists, social workers, and dietary and activity teams to implement holistic care plans, document accurately, and respond promptly to changes in condition. Your day-to-day responsibilities will emphasize safety, infection control, and therapeutic communication—with an emphasis on preserving dignity, encouraging independence, and fostering trust with residents and their families. The position offers robust professional growth within long-term care: you’ll refine clinical judgment, strengthen assessment skills, and develop leadership capabilities through mentorship, evidence-based practice, and exposure to diverse care scenarios. In addition to competitive compensation, the opportunity includes a welcome bonus, housing assistance, and the chance to extend assignments based on mutual performance and facility needs. A dedicated 24/7 support team stands ready to assist you as you travel, ensuring you have reliable resources, timely guidance, and responsive problem-solving whenever required.
Company values center on empowerment and advancement. We believe in recognizing the expertise you bring, investing in your ongoing education, and fostering a supportive environment where your voice informs process improvements and resident care. You will find a culture that prioritizes safety, respect, and teamwork, with structured pathways for career development and leadership opportunities within long-term care. This is more than a job; it’s a partnership aimed at elevating your professional trajectory while you contribute to the well-being of residents who depend on your skill, empathy, and steadiness. Expect access to resources that help you balance clinical excellence with personal well-being, including supportive onboarding, continuous supervision when needed, and a community of peers committed to compassionate care.
If you’re ready to apply, this is your invitation to join a company that values your contribution, supports your growth, and champions a rewarding path in long-term care. Your expertise as an LPN will shine in environments that appreciate reliability, compassionate leadership, and proactive problem-solving. Take the next step to impact lives, explore new places, and build a resilient practice that advances with you. Ready to embrace a role where your care makes a difference every day? Apply now and begin a journey that blends clinical excellence with meaningful human connection.
