Rhb Ctr of Albuquerq
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In this travel assignment, you’ll provide compassionate, patient-centered nursing care that enhances daily living, dignity, and comfort for residents in long-term care settings. Your expertise will help families feel supported and confident in the care their loved ones receive. The role combines hands-on clinical practice with the autonomy and collaboration that comes from working with a dedicated travel team. The start date is 12/18/2025, and the assignment spans several weeks with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, delivering a consistent routine and dependable income. Weekly pay ranges from $1,480 to $1,617, reflecting the level of responsibility, location, and shift mix. This is an opportunity to grow your expertise in geriatric care, medication administration, wound care, and interdisciplinary planning while making a meaningful difference in residents’ lives. Separately, New Mexico’s landscapes invite exploration—from the Sandia Mountains overlooking Albuquerque to the otherworldly deserts of White Sands and the ancient pueblos of Santa Fe, offering a mosaic of culture, cuisine, and outdoor adventure.
Location Benefits: Albuquerque is a thriving hub for healthcare with a welcoming community and a rich blend of Southwestern culture. Working here means immersion in a robust network of skilled nursing facilities, supportive colleagues, and opportunities to collaborate across disciplines to elevate resident care. Beyond the walls of the facility, the city and surrounding region offer year-round outdoor recreation—from hiking the foothills of the Sandias to hot-air balloon festivals and easy day trips to high-desert vistas. For those who love variety, our travel program also provides the option to work in other locations across the United States, exposing you to a spectrum of facility cultures, patient populations, and best practices. You’ll appreciate competitive pay, consistent scheduling, and the security of 36 guaranteed hours per week, with the flexibility to extend assignments in locations you come to value. Housing assistance is available to ease transition, along with practical supports that help you settle in quickly and focus on patient care. And throughout your travels, 24/7 company support remains at your side, ready to assist with scheduling changes, urgent needs, or orientation to new facilities.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an LPN in a Long-Term Care setting, you’ll perform essential nursing duties under the direction of the nursing team and in collaboration with physicians, therapists, and social services. Key responsibilities include completing comprehensive assessments, administering medications and treatments, monitoring vital signs, recognizing changes in patient condition, and updating care plans to reflect evolving needs. You’ll assist with daily living activities, wound care, and rehabilitation exercises, while providing education and reassurance to residents and their families. Documentation in electronic health records, accurate reporting, and helping maintain a safe, dignified environment are critical components of the role. The position offers meaningful professional growth within the long-term care specialty, with opportunities to expand your expertise in geriatric care management, palliative considerations, and interdisciplinary coordination. We offer a competitive benefits package that includes a welcome or performance bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and the potential for contract extensions based on facility needs and your performance. You’ll also receive comprehensive support designed for traveling clinicians, including 24/7 assistance from our team, onboarding and orientation to new facilities, and access to resources that streamline transitions between assignments. This combination of clinical challenge, stability, and ongoing development makes it possible to advance your career while delivering compassionate care to residents who rely on you.
Company Values: Our organization is committed to empowering staff, recognizing the expertise you bring, and fostering a supportive, inclusive work environment. We believe in clear pathways for career advancement, ongoing education, mentorship from seasoned nursing leaders, and a culture that prioritizes safety, dignity, and patient-focused care.
