This travel-friendly role blends hands-on clinical excellence with the freedom to explore communities across the country, all while anchored in a supportive team that values your expertise. You can begin on 12/02/2025 with assignments spanning multiple weeks in Silver City, New Mexico, and the surrounding region, and you’ll earn a competitive weekly pay range of $1,105-$1,161 as you deliver dependable, respectful care. This opportunity is designed to foster ongoing growth within the long-term care specialty, with extension opportunities that allow you to deepen your clinical skills and leadership capabilities. Our program centers on your development and wellbeing, empowering you to make a meaningful, lasting impact in every patient’s quality of life, from restorative care to comfort-focused support. And along the way, you’ll discover a culture that values service, curiosity, and continuous improvement, helping you grow not only as a clinician but as a trusted member of the care community.
Silver City and the broader region offer a compelling backdrop for your travel assignment. Nestled against scenic hills and close to expansive natural areas, this southwestern New Mexico town provides access to outdoor adventures, rich history, and a welcoming, close-knit atmosphere. You’ll experience an inviting community that reflects the warmth of its residents, with opportunities to explore nearby landscapes such as the Gila National Forest and the mountains that frame your days off. For those drawn to broader horizons, this travel role also includes the option to work in varied locations across the United States, exposing you to diverse facilities and patient populations while keeping a common thread of high-quality geriatric care. The state’s sunlit days and clear skies create an uplifting environment for clinicians who value resilience and balance. If you’re seeking ease with transitions, housing assistance is available to help you settle into Silver City or other communities, so you can focus on delivering compassionate care from the very first shift.
In this role, your responsibilities center on exceptional resident care within the long-term care setting. You’ll perform routine and complex nursing tasks within the LPN scope of practice, including medication administration, accurate vital sign monitoring, wound care, and management of chronic conditions. You’ll support activities of daily living, assist with rehabilitation goals, and collaborate closely with RNs, physicians, therapists, and social services to implement and update individualized care plans. Your meticulous documentation and vigilant observation will help anticipate changes in condition, prevent complications, and promote safety and comfort for residents with diverse needs. As part of a collaborative team, you’ll mentor and guide Certified Nursing Assistants, contributing to a stable, efficient care environment. The role also offers pathways for professional growth within geriatrics and long-term care—whether you seek enhanced clinical responsibilities, preceptor opportunities, or leadership pathways as you extend your assignments.
Beyond core duties, benefits are designed to recognize your expertise and help you thrive. In addition to competitive compensation, you may receive a bonus for performance and completion, a housing assistance package to ease relocation or temporary stay costs, and extension opportunities that enable you to continue refining skills and expanding scope within the long-term care specialty. You’ll be supported by a robust framework that includes 24/7 assistance from the travel program while you’re on assignment, ensuring you never navigate challenges alone. The combination of steady clinical engagement, reliable support, and flexible extension options makes this an ideal environment to deepen your practice without compromising personal balance. It’s a chance to contribute meaningfully, while also building a sustainable, growth-oriented career track.
The company’s values center on empowering staff, fostering clear pathways for career advancement, and cultivating a supportive, respectful work environment. We’re invested in your professional development, whether that means pursuing advanced certifications, expanding geriatric care competencies, or taking on mentorship roles that help peers and new teammates succeed.
