Albuquerque, NM
Contracted
Sandia Ridge Center
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every interaction helps residents maintain dignity, comfort, and independence. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this assignment blends hands-on bedside care with teamwork, communication, and compassionate advocacy. Imagine guiding daily routines, supporting recovery, and helping families navigate the challenges of aging with empathy and expertise. This opportunity begins on 01/28/2026 and runs for multiple weeks, offering a structured schedule, guaranteed hours, and competitive weekly pay that ranges from $883 to $922. You’ll join a caring team that values your judgment, your voice, and your commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care.
Albuquerque sits at the crossroads of Southwest charm and modern accessibility, offering sunny days, a thriving arts scene, authentic cuisine, and easy access to outdoor adventures. Working here means you’ll experience a community that appreciates flexibility and work-life balance, with opportunities to connect with residents who come from diverse backgrounds. For travel nurses who enjoy seeing more of the country, there’s also the possibility to work in other locations across the United States under the same reputable company, expanding your professional horizons while you maintain a steady schedule. Beyond the clinical setting, you’ll have access to comfortable housing solutions and a support network designed to help you settle in quickly and smoothly. The surrounding landscape—sandstone cliffs, desert horizons, and nearby parks—provides a refreshing backdrop for every shift and a healthy break between assignments. And as you settle into this vibrant city, you’ll discover how the state’s beauty—from the Sandia Peaks to historic Old Town—complements the meaningful work you do every day.
In this Long-Term Care LPN role, you’ll perform essential nursing tasks under supervision: assisting residents with activities of daily living, monitoring vital signs, administering medications within scope, updating care plans in collaboration with RNs and physicians, and documenting changes in condition with accuracy. You’ll support wound care, mobility and fall prevention, infection control, and safety protocols while fostering a warm, respectful environment where residents feel seen and valued. The position offers opportunities for growth through mentoring, cross-training, and potential shift leadership responsibilities as you demonstrate reliability and clinical judgment. Our benefits package is designed to reward your expertise, including a signing or performance bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation, and the option to extend your assignment if you enjoy the community and the team. You’ll also have access to comprehensive travel support, including 24/7 assistance while you’re on assignment, a dedicated recruiter, and consistent communication to ensure you never feel unsupported on the road. With guaranteed 36 hours per week, you’ll know what to expect, enabling you to plan your life while you deliver outstanding care.
Our company is built on empowering staff to grow professionally and pursue meaningful career advancement. We cultivate a collaborative, inclusive work environment where your voice matters, your skills are honed, and your achievements are recognized. From onboarding to ongoing education and mentorship, you’ll find resources, feedback, and opportunities that help you move forward. We believe in treating travelers with respect, transparency, and fairness, and in offering a supportive network that makes complex assignments feel achievable rather than overwhelming. By choosing our organization, you align with a team that values your contribution and is invested in your long-term success. You’ll find a culture that celebrates resilience, integrity, and the compassionate care that defines excellent long-term care nursing.
