Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every day offers an opportunity to elevate the quality of life for residents who rely on skilled, compassionate hands. Beginning with the start date of 03/02/2026, you’ll join a dedicated team that values your clinical judgment, empathy, and commitment to dignity. This role centers on applying expert basic nursing care, monitoring health changes, supporting activities of daily living, and partnering with interdisciplinary teams to craft thoughtful, person-centered care plans. You’ll have the chance to grow within the Long-Term Care specialty—strengthening skills in medication administration, wound care, infection control, pain management, fall prevention, and proactive safety measures. Imagine the satisfaction of witnessing residents regain comfort, maintain independence where possible, and experience calmer days through consistent, reliable care. And while you care for others, you’ll also have space to deepen your own professional confidence and leadership potential in a supportive, collaborative environment.
New Mexico’s Albuquerque setting adds an inviting dimension to your travel nursing experience. Nestled in the Land of Enchantment, Albuquerque blends rich culture, outdoor adventure, and a climate that invites exploration. Work while soaking in sunlit days, nearby hiking trails, and the iconic Sandia Mountains as a backdrop to your daily routine. Old Town’s charm, vibrant local cuisine, and a community that values hospitality create opportunities to unwind and recharge after shifts. Separately, you’ll discover the beauty of this state—from wide-open skies and desert landscapes to breathtaking sunsets that inspire balance between demanding work and personal renewal. The region’s unique character complements a fulfilling nursing career, offering both professional challenges and personal rewards.
Location benefits extend beyond a single site. While this assignment centers in Albuquerque, the role opens doors to the possibility of working in various locations across the United States. You’ll gain exposure to diverse resident populations, care settings, and regulatory environments, expanding your clinical repertoire while maintaining the consistent standards of compassionate care that define excellent Long-Term Care practice. You’ll enjoy meaningful community ties, access to cultural and outdoor activities, and a flexible travel framework designed to broaden horizons without sacrificing the support you deserve. The opportunity to rotate through multiple communities can deepen your understanding of geriatric care, palliative considerations, rehabilitation needs, and family-centered communication—equipping you with transferable expertise for advancement within the field.
Role specifics and benefits come together to create a comprehensive, growth-focused experience. Core responsibilities include performing routine nursing tasks with precision: administering prescribed medications and treatments, monitoring vitals and evolving health status, assisting with activities of daily living, supporting wound care and infection control, maintaining accurate documentation, and communicating changes to the supervising nurse and care team. You’ll collaborate closely with RNs, physicians, social workers, and families to update care plans, manage risk, and advocate for residents’ preferences and goals. This position offers robust professional growth within the Long-Term Care specialty, enabling you to refine assessment skills, care coordination, and evidence-based practice. Attractive benefits include a competitive weekly pay range of $856–$920, a bonus program, housing assistance, and opportunities for contract extensions based on performance and organizational needs. You’ll receive dedicated, 24/7 support from the company while traveling, providing reassurance, guidance, and resources at any hour. Although hours may fluctuate and guaranteed hours are not established (0.0), you’ll have access to flexible scheduling and the potential for extended assignments that align with your professional plans and personal preferences.
The company values empowerment, advancement, and a supportive environment. You’ll be part of an organization that prioritizes your career development with ongoing education, mentorship, and clear pathways to roles with broader responsibilities. Whether you’re aiming to deepen expertise in geriatric assessment, palliative care principles, or interdisciplinary collaboration, you’ll find structures in place to help you grow—while feeling valued for the compassion you bring to every resident interaction. The culture emphasizes teamwork, open communication, and a focus on well-being, recognizing that your professional satisfaction translates into enhanced resident outcomes and family trust.
