Embark on a deeply rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where your hands‑on care and compassionate presence become the heartbeat of residents’ daily lives. In this role you’ll partner with dedicated teams to deliver high‑quality, person‑centered care that respects dignity, promotes comfort, and supports families during meaningful moments. Imagine the difference you’ll make as you help chronic care residents maintain independence, manage chronic conditions, and regain a sense of well‑being. In addition to the professional impact, you’ll have the chance to experience the beauty and culture of New Mexico’s largest city, Albuquerque, with its sunlit mesas, vibrant southwest heritage, and an inviting blend of outdoor adventures and urban amenities. And for those who love exploring more of the country, you’ll have opportunities to work in varied locations across the United States, expanding your clinical expertise while maintaining the stability of a guided travel assignment.

Location benefits come alive in Albuquerque and surrounding communities, where a mild climate, accessible outdoor recreation, and a welcoming local scene combine to create a thriving backdrop for your nursing practice. You’ll be part of a dynamic LTC environment that values a steady, person‑centered approach to care, with quick access to parks, trails, cultural events, and a growing healthcare community. The opportunity to rotate or extend to other locations across the U.S. adds variety that keeps your clinically sharp and professionally engaged. Expect supportive housing options when needed, proximity to family and community resources, and the chance to immerse yourself in a region known for its resilience, warmth, and rich history. Start date is January 13, 2026, with a multi‑week assignment designed to fit your schedule while delivering guaranteed 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of 1,200 to 1,282 dollars, depending on shift and facility.

Role specifics and benefits begin with delivering compassionate nursing care in long‑term, resident‑centered settings. Your daily responsibilities will include conducting assessments, monitoring vital signs, administering medications and treatments per physician orders, and collaborating with RNs, therapists, and social services to update individual care plans. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, promote mobility and safety, monitor for changes in health status, document accurately in electronic health records, and participate in interdisciplinary rounds to optimize outcomes. This position offers clear opportunities for professional growth within the long‑term care specialty, including exposure to wound care, chronic disease management, infection control, palliative care principles, and restorative nursing techniques. You’ll receive robust onboarding and ongoing education that strengthens clinical judgment and enhances communication with residents, families, and the care team. The role also includes competitive benefits such as a sign‑on or performance bonus where applicable, housing assistance to alleviate living costs during assignments, and the possibility of extension opportunities to continue serving in meaningful LTC roles. In addition, you’ll be supported by a comprehensive structure that provides 24/7 assistance and a dedicated team of travel and clinical coordinators who remain accessible as you navigate different facilities and shifts.

The company’s approach to care is rooted in values that empower healthcare professionals to grow while feeling secure and supported. You’ll work in an environment that prioritizes clear pathways for career advancement, ongoing mentorship, and a culture of teamwork where every voice matters. Expect transparent communication, helpful resources for licensure and continuing education, and a leadership team committed to your professional development and well‑being. This is more than a job—it's a pathway to expand your LTC expertise, build lasting relationships with residents and families, and advance toward senior roles, specialty certifications, or leadership opportunities within a network that recognizes dedication and skill.

If you’re ready to contribute your expertise to a respectful, high‑quality long‑term care program and to grow within a company that values your contribution, this is your invitation to apply. Join a team that combines strong clinical practice with a supportive, nationwide travel framework designed to help you thrive.
