Embark on a meaningful and impactful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This travel opportunity invites you to bring compassionate, person-centered care to residents who rely on skilled support to maintain dignity, comfort, and quality of life. Picture yourself building trusting relationships with residents and families, collaborating with a dedicated interdisciplinary team, and witnessing small daily victories that brighten each day. As you answer the call to serve, you’ll also have the chance to explore and appreciate the vibrant landscapes of New Mexico, from sunlit mornings to twinkling desert skies, while enjoying the warmth of a welcoming community. And for those who love variety, the role offers the flexibility to work across multiple locations within the United States, expanding your professional horizons while you grow your skill set.
Location benefits are abundant in Albuquerque and the surrounding region. You’ll be part of a supportive network in a city known for its friendly neighborhoods, modern healthcare facilities, and a rich tapestry of cultural experiences. Albuquerque blends active outdoor recreation with urban amenities, offering easy access to the Sandia Mountains for hiking and scenic overlooks, diverse dining options, and a thriving arts scene. The state’s remarkable terrain invites you to explore nearby deserts, volcanic landscapes, and mesas during your days off. If you’re drawn to broader exploration, the assignment can also introduce you to other communities across the U.S., allowing you to expand your professional outlook while maintaining a steady, meaningful connection to your nursing practice. The combination of professional purpose and the chance to discover beautiful places in this state and beyond makes this opportunity uniquely rewarding.
Role specifics and benefits are built to support your clinical excellence and career growth. As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll be entrusted with essential responsibilities, including assessing residents’ conditions, administering medications, supporting daily living activities, monitoring vital signs, documenting care plans, and collaborating with physicians, therapists, and social workers to optimize each resident’s trajectory. You’ll contribute to wound care, fall prevention, mobility assistance, and pain management, always prioritizing safety, comfort, and person-centered care. The role offers clear pathways for professional development: ongoing education on geriatric care, medication management, infection control, and restorative nursing techniques; opportunities to lead care coordination efforts; and the chance to expand your repertoire with specialty trainings that enhance your capability to manage complex cases with confidence. To help you focus on delivering exceptional care, the position includes a competitive benefits package, a sign-on or completion bonus, and housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs. We also provide extension opportunities, enabling you to build continuity of care for residents while fostering long-term professional relationships with teams across facilities. A core pillar of the experience is unmatched support: 24/7 assistance is available as you travel with the company, ensuring you have reliable access to guidance, resources, and clinical escalation if needed.
Company values center on empowering staff, cultivating a workplace where career advancement is a tangible outcome of dedication and skill. You’ll join a culture that recognizes the artistry of nursing within long-term care, respects resident and family voices, and prioritizes a supportive environment where feedback, mentorship, and collaboration drive daily progress. The organization is committed to helping you reach your professional goals, whether that means refining clinical judgment, expanding leadership capabilities, or pursuing specialty certifications connected to geriatrics and chronic care management. Expect transparent communication, constructive coaching, and a community that celebrates your contributions as essential to high-quality care.
