Embark on a transformative journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, delivering compassionate, patient-centered care in Silver City, New Mexico. Beginning on 12/19/2025, you’ll integrate into a dedicated geriatric care team where every interaction matters and every routine becomes an opportunity to improve quality of life. As you care for residents with dignity and respect, you’ll refine your clinical judgment, expand your skills in chronic disease management, and grow as a trusted advocate for those who deserve the best possible comfort and independence. This role isn’t just about a schedule or a paycheck—it’s about making a meaningful, lasting impact on individuals, families, and a community that values warmth, resilience, and continuity of care. And beyond the daily duties, you’ll have the chance to explore the natural beauty and cultural richness of New Mexico, from sunlit mesas to serene desert landscapes, while enjoying the unique charm and warmth of Silver City.

Location benefits extend far beyond the four walls of a facility. Silver City offers a welcoming, small-town atmosphere with outdoor appeal at every turn: hiking along the Gila National Forest, exploring scenic byways, and soaking in a community that honors history and arts. The climate provides comfortable seasons ideal for outdoor activity, and the region’s friendly neighborhoods create a supportive backdrop for professional success. If you’re drawn to broader possibilities, this assignment also opens doors to opportunities across the United States, allowing you to experience diverse facilities, patient populations, and care models while keeping your core commitment to compassionate, evidence-based nursing. You’ll have the chance to service friendly communities in various locations, broadening your clinical perspective and building a versatile, marketable skill set that enhances long-term career resilience. Whether you stay in Silver City or rotate to nearby towns and other states, you’ll enjoy consistent access to resources, mentorship, and a culture that prioritizes professional growth.

In this role, your key responsibilities will center on delivering high-quality LPN care in a Long-Term Care setting. You’ll perform accurate medication administration, monitor and report changes in residents’ conditions, and participate in development and modification of individualized care plans. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, perform wound care, manage diabetic and cardiovascular needs, and collaborate with nurses, physicians, therapists, and social workers to coordinate seamless, person-centered care. Your hands-on duties will be supported by robust training and ongoing feedback, and you’ll have opportunities to deepen skills in areas like IV therapy, pain management, palliative care, and restorative nursing. This position emphasizes professional growth within the specialty, with pathways to expand responsibilities, mentor newer staff, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives. The role includes a competitive benefits package, with a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities designed to reward dedication and reliability. You’ll also gain access to comprehensive support services, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated traveling team, ensuring you’re never without guidance when you need it most. Your schedule comes with guaranteed hours—40 per week—providing stability and predictability in a fast-paced, compassionate practice.

Our company values empower your career every step of the way. We’re dedicated to fostering a supportive, inclusive environment where staff are encouraged to pursue continuing education, specialty certifications, and leadership opportunities. You’ll find a culture that celebrates your contributions, provides mentoring, and recognizes excellence in patient care.
