Mid Level
Step into a transformative journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, where compassionate care intersects with dynamic travel assignments that expand your horizons and elevate resident well‑being. Starting 02/02/2026, these weeks‑long opportunities place you in meaningful, hands‑on roles that leverage your clinical skill, empathy, and leadership to create safe, comforting environments for seniors who deserve the highest quality of life. As you move from one facility to the next, you’ll witness the tangible impact of expert nursing—improved comfort, stronger daily functioning, and renewed trust between residents, families, and care teams. You’ll also experience the thrill of exploring a region known for rich history, vibrant communities, and a welcoming spirit. And when you’re ready to savor a broader landscape, this path can lead you to additional locations across the United States, broadening your professional network while you grow as a practitioner. Separately, you can celebrate the beauty of this state: wide open skies over the high desert, the rugged charm of Silver City, breathtaking canyons, and the tranquil glow of sunsets that paint the horizon after a day of compassionate care.
Silver City, New Mexico, offers a unique blend of warm community, outdoor adventure, and clinical opportunity. In this charming southwest town, you’ll find supportive facilities that value your expertise and a pace that respects the humanity of every resident. The region’s landscapes invite exploration, from nearby trails to cultural festivals, making your travel experience both professionally rewarding and personally enriching. If you’re drawn to variety, you’ll also have the chance to extend your journey and work in other locations across the U.S., gaining exposure to different care models, regulatory environments, and resident needs. This combination of steady, meaningful work in a picturesque setting and the potential to broaden your professional footprint makes these assignments especially compelling for LPNs focused on long‑term, relationship‑driven care.
In this role, you’ll deliver essential nursing services within long‑term care communities, collaborating closely with RNs, physicians, therapists, and social supports to maintain comfort, safety, and independence for residents. Core responsibilities include medication administration and accurate documentation, routine assessments, wound care, vitals monitoring, and rapid response to evolving clinical conditions. You’ll participate in the care planning process, contribute to quality improvement initiatives, and educate residents and families to promote understanding and engagement in daily routines. Your hands‑on clinical judgment will guide interventions, while your communication will unify the care team around each resident’s goals. This position emphasizes professional growth: you’ll have opportunities to deepen geriatrics knowledge, pursue certifications, take on mentorship roles, and engage in orientation or preceptorship programs that strengthen your leadership trajectory. A comprehensive support system backs you up, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel nursing team, access to on‑call clinical resources, and continual access to tools and information that help you deliver excellent, consistent care across assignment sites.
Compensation for these roles is competitive, reflecting your expertise and the value you bring to each facility. Weekly pay ranges from $1,107 to $1,138, with additional bonuses and incentives available based on assignment length, performance, and site needs. Housing assistance helps you settle quickly and comfortably, removing common travel hassles so you can focus on patient care and professional development. Extension opportunities provide flexibility to continue on a successful track with the same facility or explore new settings through the broader network, enabling you to build a robust portfolio of LTC experience. While traveling with the company, you’ll benefit from 24/7 support that covers logistics, scheduling, and clinical questions, ensuring you have dependable guidance whenever you need it. It’s a program designed to empower you to deliver high‑quality geriatric care, learn from diverse teams, and steadily advance toward your career goals without sacrificing personal stability.
Our company is rooted in empowering staff to grow, thrive, and make meaningful contributions to the communities we serve. We are dedicated to providing a supportive work environment where clinical excellence is celebrated, mentorship is available, and opportunities for advancement are clear and attainable. You’ll join a culture that respects your expertise, values your insights, and invests in your ongoing education and leadership development.

By design, our teams foster collaboration, open communication, and a shared commitment to compassionate, patient‑centered care that honors each resident’s dignity and independence.
