Powerback - Red Rocks Care Center
Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Registered Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Gallup, New Mexico, where every day brings an opportunity to enrich the lives of residents and their families. This role invites you to apply your clinical expertise, compassion, and leadership to create compassionate care plans, steady routines, and dignified days for seniors who deserve the best. Begin this unique assignment on February 2, 2026, with a contract structured in weeks, designed to accommodate flexible scheduling and rewarding experiences across diverse settings. While the base assignment emphasizes Gallup’s welcoming community, there is also potential to extend your impact across other locations in the United States, offering a spectrum of environments from tranquil rural clinics to bustling urban facilities. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to influence quality of life, promote patient-centered outcomes, and grow as a clinician, mentor, and advocate in a field that continually evolves.
Nestled in the high desert of northwestern New Mexico, Gallup is a place where striking landscapes meet resilient communities and rich traditions. The region offers sunlit days, spectacular sunrises, and an opportunity to connect with neighbors who value care, service, and mutual support. Beyond the immediate scope of your assignment, the broader state of New Mexico showcases breathtaking scenery—from red rock formations and expansive skies to serene hiking trails and cultural hubs that celebrate a heritage of artistry and storytelling. The opportunity to work in Gallup also means frequent opportunities to appreciate the state’s natural beauty, vibrant Native American arts, and welcoming town gatherings that emphasize well-being, balance, and a sense of belonging.
In the LTC RN role, you’ll oversee comprehensive patient care for residents in long-term care settings, guiding therapeutic plans, coordinating with interdisciplinary teams, and delivering hands-on nursing that emphasizes safety, comfort, and autonomy. Your responsibilities will include comprehensive assessments, medication administration and reconciliation, monitoring chronic conditions, wound and IV care within scope, and timely documentation that informs care decisions. You’ll lead and participate in daily rounds, ensure adherence to regulatory and safety standards, and communicate clearly with families to support informed choices and peace of mind. This position rewards clinical versatility, as you’ll address geriatric health concerns, mobility and fall risk management, pain control, nutrition support, and rehabilitation goals. The role also provides pathways for professional growth, enabling you to pursue specialty certifications, diversify your clinical repertoire, and mentor junior staff as you gain experience in a variety of LTC settings.
The role is supported by generous benefits designed to attract and retain top nursing talent. You’ll enjoy competitive weekly pay in the range of $1,225 to $1,261, with the opportunity to maximize earnings through performance, additional shifts, or extension opportunities. The assignment includes housing assistance to ease relocation and living arrangements, along with a sign-on or completion bonus where applicable, reflecting the value we place on your commitment. While this contract operates with scheduled weeks, there is no guaranteed hourly commitment; instead, you’ll be welcomed into a structure that prioritizes patient needs, facility planning, and your professional goals, with extension opportunities that allow you to build satisfying, continuous relationships with teams and residents. You’ll also have access to robust 24/7 support from our traveling healthcare professionals team, ensuring you’re never alone on the road and always backed by a network that values safety, resources, and timely guidance.
Our organization prides itself on empowering staff through clear paths for career advancement and a supportive work climate. You’ll collaborate with seasoned clinicians, seasoned supervisors, and family members who trust you to deliver consistent, compassionate care. We emphasize ongoing education, mentorship, and opportunities to broaden your scope—from care planning and advanced wound management to leadership roles within LTC teams. The environment is inclusive, respectful, and focused on well-being, recognizing that each nurse’s growth enriches the entire care ecosystem. We celebrate initiative, reliability, and patient-first thinking, and we’re committed to helping you achieve your professional milestones while maintaining a healthy balance between work and life.
If you’re driven to impact aging populations with empathy, clinical excellence, and teamwork, this is your chance to join a mission-driven company that values your contribution and supports your development every step of the way. Our teams are built on collaboration, open communication, and a shared commitment to elevating the standard of long-term care.
