Powerback - Red Rocks Care Center
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse serving in Long-Term Care, where every shift is an opportunity to elevate the dignity, comfort, and health of the residents who depend on your steady hands and compassionate guidance. In this specialty, your clinical skill translates into meaningful, everyday improvements: safer mobility, relief from symptoms, timely health observations, thoughtful care planning, and enduring relationships with residents and families. If you’re motivated by consistent patient impact, professional growth, and a supportive team that values empathy as much as expertise, this assignment in Gallup, New Mexico, offers a compelling path forward. Picture a role where your expertise anchors quality of life, while you grow your geriatric nursing competencies, collaborate with interdisciplinary colleagues, and expand your care philosophy through hands-on, real-world experience. And beyond the clinical rewards, you’ll be part of a community that appreciates your commitment to compassionate care and lifelong learning.
New Mexico’s beauty is a constant companion to your professional life. Gallup radiates warmth and hospitality, with a backdrop of striking desert sunsets, wide-open skies, and nearby scenic trails. The region invites restorative downtime after challenging shifts, and the state’s rich cultural tapestry—art, history, and Navajo and Mescalero communities—enriches your daily experience. You’ll have opportunities to explore a landscape that ranges from red rock formations to tranquil parks, offering quiet moments of reflection and renewal as you invest in the health and comfort of residents. The combination of meaningful work and the state’s natural allure creates a unique environment where you can recharge, reflect, and return to your duties with renewed focus and energy.
Location benefits: This role situates you in Gallup, a community that prioritizes high-quality elder care, teamwork, and professional stability. You’ll participate in care plans, routine assessments, medication assistance, vital sign monitoring, and collaboration with RNs and other care professionals to ensure residents receive consistent, respectful care. The assignment also introduces you to the broader possibilities of nursing across the United States, as you may have the option to work in other facilities nationwide, expanding your professional footprint and versatility. In Gallup, you’ll experience the benefits of a tight-knit care team, predictable schedules, and access to resources that support your clinical decisions, while the broader travel option offers exposure to diverse patient populations, care models, and med-pass techniques. The combination of steady hours and a strong support network helps you perform at your best, delivering safe, person-centered care you can be proud of.
Role specifics and benefits: In this Long-Term Care LPN role, you’ll deliver essential nursing care under supervision, including routine patient assessments, assistance with medication administration, administration of prescribed therapies under approved protocols, and careful monitoring of chronic conditions. You’ll support daily living activities, guidance on nutrition and hydration, wound care and skin integrity surveillance, falls prevention, and the documentation that informs timely interventions. You’ll contribute to care plans, communicate changes to the supervising RN, and partner with CNAs and therapy teams to maintain a holistic care approach. This position provides a competitive weekly pay range of $1,431 to $1,520, reflecting your experience and responsibilities, plus the security of guaranteed 36 hours per week. The assignment begins on December 8, 2025, and is measured in weeks, with potential for extension or renewal based on performance and facility need. In addition to competitive compensation, you’ll have access to a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to help ease relocation or temporary lodging, and extension opportunities that allow you to continue building your expertise across settings or to deepen your commitment to a single facility. You’ll also benefit from 24/7 support while traveling with the company, including a dedicated travel support team, real-time assistance, and safety checks to ensure you always have a reliable resource as you navigate new facilities, shifts, or schedules. The combination of clinical responsibility, ongoing education, and a robust network of support helps you refine your practice while maintaining work–life balance.
Program highlights and growth opportunities: The role emphasizes professional development within Long-Term Care, with pathways to deepen geriatric competencies, advanced wound care, pain management strategies, and restorative nursing techniques. You’ll have opportunities to participate in continuing education, attend facility-led in-services, and pursue state-approved certifications that align with your career goals. The employer supports your advancement with mentorship, access to leadership development conversations, and potential step-up roles in clinical coordination or team leadership as you accumulate experience and demonstrate clinical excellence. The environment is designed to empower you as a respected member of an interdisciplinary team, where your insights guide patient outcomes, resident satisfaction, and family engagement. You’ll experience a culture that values your voice, acknowledges your hard work, and recognizes your contributions to the well-being of residents and the broader facility community.
Company values and culture: The organization is built on empowering staff, promoting career progression, and sustaining a supportive, respectful work atmosphere. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes safety, ethical practice, and compassionate care, with an emphasis on collaboration, continuous improvement, and recognizing the importance of a healthy work environment.

Whether you’re seeking steady clinical practice in a familiar locale or a broader portfolio of experiences across multiple sites, you’ll find a workplace that values your dedication, honors your expertise, and provides the resources you need to thrive.
