Mid Level
Introduction
Step into a purposeful, compassionate role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift offers an opportunity to influence quality of life and daily wellbeing for residents who deserve respect, dignity, and expert support. As part of a dedicated care team, you’ll blend clinical skill with genuine empathy, conducting assessments, administering medications, managing daily activities, and collaborating with registered nurses, physicians, and families to create individualized care plans. Your guidance and steady presence will help residents maintain independence, manage chronic conditions, and experience comfort during every stage of care. This assignment begins on 03/03/2026 and is designed to run over a flexible number of weeks with guaranteed hours of 36 per week. Weekly pay ranges from $1,094 to $1,169, reflecting your expertise and the value you bring to the care continuum. While you’ll call Santa Fe, New Mexico, home for the primary assignment, this program also opens doors to placements across the United States, offering enriching experiences and wide-ranging clinical perspectives. Santa Fe is a place where sunlit mesas meet adobe architecture, where historic plazas frame vibrant arts and culinary scenes, and where access to mountains and desert landscapes invites after-shift exploration. The opportunity to exchange experiences across diverse settings can broaden your professional horizons while you continue to deliver exemplary long-term care.
Location Benefits
Santa Fe, New Mexico, offers a distinctive blend of cultural richness and natural beauty that can enhance both your personal and professional life. Work environments here emphasize patient-centered care, teamwork, and respect for residents’ life histories, with interdisciplinary collaboration that strengthens clinical confidence and communication. The surrounding high desert and mountain vistas provide a serene backdrop for focus and resilience, while the city’s historic charm, galleries, and outdoor recreation create a balanced lifestyle outside the hospital or facility walls. For those who enjoy variety, the program affords placements in multiple locations nationwide, presenting opportunities to experience different facility cultures, regulatory environments, and care delivery styles. You’ll be supported with comprehensive onboarding and ongoing education, helping you stay current on long-term care best practices, infection control, mobility assistance, pain management, and palliative considerations. In addition to competitive compensation, travelers receive housing assistance and resources designed to ease relocation and housing transitions, making it easier to settle in and focus on delivering outstanding care. The option to extend assignments allows you to deepen your connections with teams, facilities, and residents while continuing to build confidence in your clinical repertoire.
Role Specifics and Benefits
As an LPN in Long-Term Care, your responsibilities will center on hands-on care and meticulous coordination. You’ll perform patient assessments, monitor vital signs, administer prescribed medications, and document changes in condition, ensuring timely escalation when concerns arise. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, support mobility and falls prevention strategies, manage wound care or chronic skin concerns, and help with basic treatments under the supervision of RNs and physicians. You’ll contribute to the development and execution of individualized care plans, participate in care conferences, and educate residents and families about health management, safety, and wellness strategies. Your role will also involve safety checks, device checks, infection control adherence, and meticulous charting to maintain regulatory compliance and continuity of care. This position offers substantial room for professional growth within the long-term care specialty—from expanding your scope with care coordination and case management to exploring opportunities in leadership roles, quality improvement initiatives, and continuing education that keeps you at the forefront of the field.
The benefits are structured to recognize your commitment and facilitate sustained success. A competitive bonus program supports onboarding and performance milestones, while housing assistance helps ease transportation and living arrangements during assignments. Extension opportunities provide a clear path to longer-term placements within the network, enabling you to deepen relationships with facilities, families, and interdisciplinary teams. You’ll benefit from 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring that you have constant access to resources, guidance, and on-the-ground coordination when transitions between assignments occur. The combination of dedicated travel support, flexible scheduling, and guaranteed hours of 36 per week creates a stable yet dynamic framework for career advancement and personal growth within long-term care. You’ll bring compassion, precision, and collaborative spirit to every resident interaction, while building resilience and clinical leadership that benefits your team and the people you serve.
