Powerback - Red Rocks Care Center
Mid Level
Begin a rewarding chapter as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift is an opportunity to safeguard dignity, comfort, and independence for residents who call your care home. In Gallup, New Mexico, you’ll join a values-driven team that places compassion, clinical excellence, and teamwork at the heart of care. This specialty invites you to grow as a clinician while making a measurable difference in the lives of seniors and their families. You’ll develop trusted relationships with residents, families, and a multidisciplinary team, guiding daily routines, comfort measures, medication management, and personalized care plans. Beyond the bedside, you’ll experience the beauty of New Mexico’s landscapes and cultures—sun-drenched skies over red rock mesas, the expansive blue of desert horizons, and vibrant communities that celebrate heritage and resilience. Separate from the clinical journey, New Mexico offers opportunities to explore its remarkable scenery: the sandstone cliffs near Gallup, the radiance of White Sands in seasonal light, tranquil pueblos perched against dramatic backdrops, and trails that reveal canyon echoes after shifts. If you crave a role that blends meaningful care with rich regional charm, this position is your gateway.
Location benefits go beyond the guest amenities of a single city. Gallup stands as a welcoming hub with strong local healthcare networks, community partnerships, and access to a wide range of long-term services that keep you professionally engaged. For those who desire broader exposure, our travel assignments provide the flexibility to work in various facilities across the United States, delivering diverse clinical experiences, patient populations, and practice environments. You’ll gain insight into different care models, regulatory nuances, and organizational cultures, all while maintaining continuity of excellence in patient care. The arrangement supports a balance between steady professional development and the adventure of discovering new communities. You’ll enjoy the chance to immerse yourself in different regional flavors, seasonal activities, and outdoor recreation, from quiet, star-filled nights in the desert to opportunities for cultural exploration during your off weeks.
Role specifics and benefits illuminate a clear path to professional growth. Core responsibilities include providing compassionate, hands-on nursing care to residents in long-term settings: assisting with activities of daily living, monitoring vital signs, administering medications under supervision, performing routine treatments, and documenting observations and care plans in electronic health records. You’ll collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to assess needs, implement individualized plans, and adjust interventions based on resident responses and progress. Beyond routine tasks, you’ll play an essential role in early problem detection, fall prevention, infection control, and promoting residents’ mobility, nutrition, and social engagement. This position emphasizes proactive care, patient advocacy, and ongoing learning—opportunities to expand your clinical competencies, pursue specialty certifications, and step into mentorship or lead roles as you evolve. Competitive benefits enhance your experience: a valuable weekly pay range of $1,084–$1,143, a bonus program designed to recognize performance and fidelity to quality standards, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing, and contract extension opportunities that invite you to build long-term relationships with facilities you trust. We provide robust support throughout your journey—24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel support team, on-call clinical mentors, and streamlined onboarding to help you settle quickly, safely, and confidently. You’ll receive comprehensive orientation, ongoing clinical resources, and access to a nationwide network of fellow travelers and supervisors who understand the realities of temporary assignments. The role is designed to elevate clinical confidence while ensuring you have the resources you need to deliver consistent, high-quality care in diverse settings.
Our company values empower you to advance your career within a nurturing, inclusive environment. We are committed to recognizing your contributions, investing in your professional development, and promoting from within whenever possible. Expect mentorship from experienced peers, structured pathways toward advanced practice or leadership responsibilities, and a culture that prioritizes work-life balance, safety, and well-being. You’ll join colleagues who celebrate continuous learning, share best practices, and champion resident-centered care that respects dignity and autonomy. In this environment, your voice matters—from day-to-day patient care decisions to feedback that informs program improvements. We believe in enabling every nurse to realize their potential while contributing to the overall excellence of the communities we serve.
