Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you’ll join teams that treat every resident with dignity while supporting families during challenging times. Picture yourself guiding daily routines, managing treatments, and collaborating with physicians, therapists, and fellow nurses to craft individualized care that promotes comfort, safety, and meaningful moments. Beyond the hospital walls, New Mexico’s beauty awaits—sunlit deserts, the Sandia Mountains glistening at dawn, historic towns, and a vibrant culinary scene. From peaceful morning hikes to evening concerts under starlit skies, the state offers inspiration that can refresh your practice and renew your focus each day. Start date February 9, 2026, with assignments measured in weeks, and a pathway that respects your need for balance and growth within a traveling role.

You’ll experience the advantages of Albuquerque’s accessible services, strong senior care networks, and a culture that celebrates caregiving. For those who crave broader horizons, our program offers opportunities to work in multiple locations nationwide, expanding your professional repertoire while maintaining the security of a dedicated travel team.

And for many clinicians, the chance to return to Albuquerque or explore nearby communities provides a balanced blend of familiarity and adventure. The role also offers a clear view of how long-term care integrates with hospital and community services, helping you build a versatile skill set that travels with you.
In this Long-Term Care LPN role, you’ll administer medications, monitor vital signs, assist with activities of daily living, perform wound care, support chronic disease management, and help develop and implement care plans. You’ll monitor safety, prevent falls, manage infections, and document changes promptly to keep care teams aligned. You’ll mentor CNAs and collaborate with RNs to ensure seamless continuity of care, while documenting in electronic medical records with accuracy and compliance. The position presents real opportunities for growth within the long‑term care specialty—from enhanced clinical responsibilities to potential pathways into nurse leadership, quality improvement, or education roles. Competitive compensation includes a weekly pay range of $898 to $931, plus a bonus opportunity, housing assistance, and potential extension options to extend your assignment beyond the initial term. Our travelers receive robust support, including a 24/7 help line, on‑call clinical support, and a dedicated program liaison who understands the nuances of working across facilities and shifts. While hours are not guaranteed, the contract is designed to provide substantive experience, with the flexibility that compassionate travel nursing affords while you pursue your professional trajectory. Guaranteed Hours: 0.0.
We’re committed to empowering our staff—investing in continuing education, certifications, and structured career development that recognizes your expertise and honors your contributions.
