Step into an inspiring opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a start date set for February 2, 2026. In this role, you will deliver compassionate, patient-centered care to residents, guiding care plans with skill and empathy while coordinating closely with physicians, therapists, and social services to ensure a holistic approach to well-being. You’ll monitor progress, administer medications, assist with activities of daily living, manage wounds and routine treatments, and advocate for residents’ comfort, safety, and dignity. Your work will illuminate the everyday moments that matter—a kind word, a careful observation, a steady hand at the bedside—empowering families to feel confident in the care their loved ones receive. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to craft meaningful, lasting impact in a longtime care setting. And as you serve, you can enjoy the beauty and diversity of New Mexico—sunlit days, the majestic Sandia Mountains, the charm of Old Town, and a landscape that invites outdoor adventures during your time off.

Location benefits extend well beyond the walls of care facilities. Albuquerque combines a welcoming community with a robust healthcare network, offering affordable living, a vibrant cultural scene, and a climate that welcomes outdoor living throughout the year. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work within Albuquerque or explore assignments across the United States, broadening your clinical experience, expanding your professional network, and sharpening your adaptability in diverse long‑term care environments. From quiet suburban campuses to bustling urban facilities, the variety keeps your practice fresh while strengthening your expertise in geriatric and chronic care management. Travel assignments in this specialty support your growth by exposing you to different electronic health record systems, interdisciplinary teams, and evolving best practices, all while keeping you anchored by a supportive home base.

Role specifics come with competitive benefits designed to attract and retain dedicated professionals. As part of the Long-Term Care team, your responsibilities will include delivering comprehensive nursing care to residents with complex chronic conditions, assessing and updating care plans, administering medications and treatments per physician orders, monitoring vital signs and safety, assisting with activities of daily living, managing wound and skin care, coordinating with therapy services, and documenting accurately in charting systems. You’ll champion resident advocacy, monitor for changes in condition, communicate with families, and participate in quality improvement initiatives. The position also emphasizes professional growth within the specialty—opportunities to assume leadership roles, mentor new staff, and participate in ongoing education to expand clinical competencies. Benefits include a competitive pay range of $848 to $923 per week, with guaranteed 36 hours per week to provide financial stability and predictability. The contract offers weeks-long assignments with potential extension opportunities, so you can plan your career trajectory with confidence. A bonus structure adds an extra layer of recognition for performance and tenure, while housing assistance helps you focus on your responsibilities and your experience rather than logistics. As you travel, you’ll have access to 24/7 support from the company’s dedicated team, ensuring you’re never navigating a challenge alone—whether you need clinical guidance, scheduling adjustments, or urgent assistance.

The company values underpinning this opportunity emphasize empowering staff, career advancement, and a supportive, collaborative work environment. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes professional development and mentorship, recognizes contributions, and provides clear pathways for advancement within long‑term care specialties. Continuous learning is encouraged through access to training resources, credential maintenance support, and leadership development that aligns with your goals. The environment is designed to be inclusive, respectful, and focused on the well‑being of both residents and caregivers, with safety, quality, and compassionate care as the core pillars of daily practice.
