Step into a fulfilling journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, and join a dedicated team in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where every shift offers an opportunity to safeguard dignity, comfort, and precious moments for residents. In this weeks‑long assignment, you’ll apply your hands‑on expertise to support complex daily care, orchestrate individualized care plans, and partner with physicians, RNs, and therapists to promote safety, independence, and well‑being. This role blends steady, guaranteed hours with the dynamic environment of long‑term care, letting you grow your clinical practice while building meaningful relationships with residents and their families. Imagine making a lasting impact in a state renowned for outdoor splendor, warm community spirit, and a culture that celebrates resilience and compassion.
Albuquerque is a hub of culture, sunshine, and outdoor adventure. You’ll benefit from a welcoming healthcare community, modern facilities, and opportunities to collaborate with specialists across a broad spectrum of geriatric care. The city’s accessible parks, scenic trails, and nearby mountains invite you to unwind after shifts, while a vibrant dining and arts scene enriches your off‑duty time. Albuquerque and surrounding New Mexico communities offer a lower cost of living without compromising quality of care, making it possible to focus on the professional growth and personal enrichment you seek. For clinicians drawn to variety, this program can also present optional rotations to other locations within New Mexico and select facilities nationwide, broadening your experience while maintaining the stability of a well‑structured travel nursing framework. Your schedule will align with 36.0 guaranteed hours per week, with a weekly pay range of $1,504 to $1,549, reflecting the value of your expertise while supporting your personal milestones and goals. The Start Date is 12/29/2025, and this contract spans weeks, offering you the pace and continuity you want with predictable shifts and extended opportunities as you demonstrate your impact. Please note: hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
In this Long‑Term Care role, you’ll assume responsibilities essential to residents’ safety and comfort. Core duties include delivering skilled nursing care under the supervision of a registered nurse, administering medications in accordance with facility policies, monitoring vital signs, and identifying changes in condition to escalate promptly. You’ll participate in care planning, support activities of daily living, assist with rehabilitation and mobility activities, and maintain precise documentation in electronic medical records. You’ll help prevent infections, uphold hygiene standards, and implement personalized interventions that respect each resident’s preferences, cultural background, and rights. The role also offers opportunities for professional growth through cross‑training, mentorship from seasoned geriatric professionals, and access to continuing education resources designed to expand your clinical repertoire—from wound care techniques to palliative and end‑of‑life best practices. The employment package emphasizes not only competitive compensation but also the potential for contract extensions, ongoing performance feedback, and pathways to advanced roles within the organization’s supportive framework.
Beyond clinical duties, the program provides comprehensive support designed for travelers and caregivers alike. You’ll receive housing assistance to reduce relocation stress, a dedicated onboarding team to orient you to facility protocols, and a network of peers and leaders who champion your development. A 24/7 support line is available while you travel with the company, ensuring you’re never alone when questions arise, and that you have reliable resources for clinical guidance, scheduling adjustments, and personal safety. The importance of your well‑being is reflected in benefits that acknowledge the emotional and professional demands of long‑term care. Our values center on empowering you to deliver compassionate, patient‑centered care while advancing your career through structured learning, clear advancement tracks, and a culture that recognizes your dedication with respect and appreciation.
The company is committed to empowering staff to grow within a nurturing, inclusive environment. You’ll find opportunities to elevate your practice through leadership development, clinical skills enhancement, and exposure to diverse patient populations. The organization emphasizes teamwork, transparent communication, accountability, and a supportive atmosphere where mentors invest in your success. By choosing this assignment, you’re joining a community that values your voice, respects your clinical judgment, and reinforces your capacity to shape positive outcomes for residents and families. Your contributions will be acknowledged, your professional goals will be supported, and your resilience will be built upon a foundation of trusted colleagues, dependable policies, and a shared commitment to exemplary geriatric care.
