Genesis - West Region - Silver City Care Center
Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, anchored in the welcoming community of Silver City, New Mexico. This travel opportunity is about more than a job—it’s a chance to influence the daily lives of residents who rely on compassionate, capable hands to uphold dignity, comfort, and independence. Start on 02/01/2026 and step into weeks of rewarding engagements designed to honor your expertise while you explore new communities. If you’ve ever dreamed of blending dedicated clinical care with scenic, small-town charm, this assignment offers the ideal balance. As you care for others, you’ll also collect memories of stunning landscapes, friendly neighborhoods, and a pace of life that supports both professional growth and personal discovery.
Silver City is a gateway to outdoor wonder and cultural richness. Nestled near the Gila National Forest, it provides easy access to hiking, fishing, and sunrise vistas that replenish your spirit after a day of hands-on care. The state’s unique blend of sunlit deserts, crimson mesas, and historic pueblos offers moments of awe that can inspire patience, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose in your nursing practice. Beyond Silver City, the opportunity to work in varied locations across the U.S. expands your professional horizons, allowing you to experience diverse care settings, communities, and patient populations while maintaining a strong sense of home in your hometown roots. In this role, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: stability in a supportive travel team and the freedom to learn from different long-term care environments, all while enjoying the distinctive beauty and warmth of New Mexico.
Location Benefits: This assignment centers you in Silver City, a community known for its welcoming atmosphere, approachable healthcare facilities, and access to outdoor recreation. You’ll benefit from competitive compensation with weekly pay in the range of $1,095 to $1,136, reflecting your expertise and impact. The program also offers housing assistance to ease transition and travel costs, along with the flexibility inherent in travel healthcare—the opportunity to extend into additional assignments across the country if you choose. While the primary focus is the Silver City facility, travelers can appreciate the broader advantage of experiencing different regions, climates, and patient populations, enriching your clinical perspective while maintaining robust professional relationships with a dedicated support team. The model emphasizes work–life balance, learning opportunities, and the flexibility to select assignments that align with personal commitments and career goals.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Core responsibilities: Provide direct patient care to long-term residents, including daily assessments, medication administration, wound care, pain management, and monitoring of chronic conditions. Implement and revise care plans in collaboration with the interdisciplinary team, documenting changes clearly in the electronic medical record, and communicating with residents and families with empathy and transparency.
- Clinical growth: Develop specialty skills within geriatrics and long-term care, including fall risk reduction, adaptive equipment use, activity of daily living (ADL) support, and evidence-based interventions that promote comfort and function. Access ongoing training and mentorship designed to elevate your practice and leadership potential.
- Competitive benefits: Enjoy a competitive pay package with weekly earnings between $1,095 and $1,136, plus a bonus designed to recognize performance and commitment. Housing assistance is provided to ease relocation, and there are extension opportunities that allow you to continue growing within the program if you choose to stay with the partner organization beyond the initial assignment.
- Comprehensive support: Rely on 24/7 support while traveling with the company. A dedicated clinical and logistical team is available around the clock to address clinical questions, scheduling needs, or travel concerns, ensuring you can focus on high-quality patient care.
- Scheduling and guarantees: This opportunity is engagement-based, with no guaranteed hours, so you can select assignments that fit your availability and preferences. The structure encourages flexibility and alignment with personal and professional priorities, while still delivering a steady stream of meaningful work and patient contact.
- Equipment and resources: Access modern clinical tools, up-to-date protocols, and supportive infrastructure designed to help you deliver safe, effective care with confidence. You’ll work in well-supported facilities that value evidence-based practice and your professional autonomy.
Company Values: Our partner organizations are committed to empowering their nursing staff, prioritizing career advancement, and maintaining a nurturing, collaborative work environment. You’ll join teams that invest in your growth, celebrate your contributions, and provide avenues for leadership development and specialization as you broaden your expertise across long-term care settings. The emphasis is on mutual respect, open communication, and a culture that recognizes your essential role in sustaining quality life for residents.
Call to Action: If you are a compassionate, dedicated LPN ready to make a tangible difference in long-term care—and excited to explore new communities while shaping your career—apply now. This assignment offers a pathway to enhance your clinical repertoire, expand your professional network, and experience the beauty of New Mexico and beyond.
