Mid Level
Step into a purpose-driven role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, delivering compassionate, hands-on care to residents who rely on your steady expertise. This travel opportunity lets you apply your clinical skills across diverse facilities while building meaningful connections with patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams. You’ll influence daily quality of life, comfort, and independence for seniors navigating chronic conditions, mobility changes, and complex care needs. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you’ll enjoy a welcoming community with desert light, outdoor adventures, and a range of cultural experiences. The broader program also offers assignments across the U.S., so you can explore new facilities, learn different care models, and expand your professional toolkit while making an impact wherever you go.
Location benefits: Albuquerque blends affordable living with modern amenities, expanding outdoor recreation, and a friendly neighborhood vibe. You’ll have access to parks, museums, golf, trails, and a thriving food scene that celebrates regional flavors. As part of a national travel program, you can select from assignments in quiet suburban facilities or high-volume urban campuses, each presenting unique resident populations, memory care challenges, rehab needs, and palliative considerations. This flexibility lets you tailor your career path to balance personal interests with clinical growth, while still enjoying the comforts of a home base. The opportunity to work across diverse locations in the U.S. means you’ll meet new colleagues, gain exposure to varied electronic medical record systems, and learn different regulatory environments, all while maintaining your focus on patient-centered care.
Role specifics and benefits: In this long-term care nursing role, you’ll perform direct resident care, medication administration, wound assessment and dressing changes, routine vital signs monitoring, safety checks, and timely documentation. You’ll contribute to care planning in collaboration with RNs, physicians, therapists, and social workers, ensuring care plans reflect changing conditions and resident goals. You’ll also support family education, participate in discharge planning, and engage in quality improvement initiatives that elevate comfort and outcomes. The position offers substantial professional growth: sharpen geriatric assessments, expand skills in chronic disease management, and gain experience with rehabilitation, palliative care, and skilled nursing workflows. Competitive compensation is paired with a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend assignments for continued impact. Our program emphasizes comprehensive support, including a dedicated 24/7 travel team, pre-trip planning, housing logistics, and on-site onboarding to help you feel confident from day one. You’ll enjoy flexible scheduling with weeks-based assignments and the chance to extend your stay in preferred facilities, creating continuity for you and the residents you serve.
Company values: We’re committed to empowering our staff through clear paths for advancement, ongoing education, mentorship, and a collaborative culture that respects your time, safety, and professional aspirations. You’ll join a network that prioritizes well-being and career progression, offering guidance as you pursue specialty certifications, leadership roles, or broader care innovations across multiple sites. Expect supportive leadership, reliable resources, and a community that celebrates your compassionate approach to elder care. This environment is designed to help you grow while feeling valued, heard, and supported as you navigate complex care needs.
Call to action and logistics: If you’re ready to bring warmth, expertise, and resilience to long‑term care, apply today. This travel LPN role begins 01/01/2026, with assignments planned in weeks and locations across the program.
