Location Benefits: Albuquerque is more than a working setting—it’s a gateway to a balanced, enriching lifestyle. Enjoy a climate with four distinct seasons, easy access to mountain trails, and a thriving arts and dining scene that complements a compassionate work life. Albuquerque offers a welcoming healthcare community with strong relationships across hospitals, clinics, and skilled nursing facilities, providing opportunities to learn from experienced teams while you deliver hands-on, in-the-trenches care. For those who enjoy variety, this role also presents the chance to work in multiple locations across the U.S., expanding your professional network and exposing you to diverse patient populations, regulatory environments, and best practices. The city’s affordability, vibrant neighborhoods, and proximity to outdoor escapes—Sandia Peak tramway, Petroglyph National Monument, and the Riverwalk—make it easier to achieve work-life harmony. You’ll be part of a program that respects your scheduling preferences as you rotate through long-term care environments, with the option to experience new facilities and communities while building a robust resume in geriatric and chronic-care nursing.

Core responsibilities include verifying medication administration under physician orders, performing assessments, identifying changes in condition, implementing care plans, and coordinating with RNs, physicians, therapists, and family members. You’ll monitor wounds, manage IVs where appropriate, assist with activities of daily living, support rehabilitation and mobility, and uphold infection control and safety protocols. Your clinical judgment and compassionate communication will guide care plan updates, education for patients and families, and timely documentation in electronic health records. This role offers strong professional growth within long-term care, including opportunities to pursue specialty certifications in geriatric care, wound care, palliative approaches, or leadership pathways for aspiring charge nurses.
Benefits are designed to acknowledge your expertise and commitment. You’ll receive a competitive weekly pay range of $830-$885, with a flexible schedule that aligns with program needs. A sign-on bonus recognizes your experience, while housing assistance helps ease relocation and living arrangements during assignments. The program supports extended opportunities, enabling you to renew contracts, explore higher-responsibility roles, or transition into permanent positions where available. You’ll have access to a dedicated extension program that values continuity of care and staff stability. A cornerstone of the experience is 24/7 support from our traveling team; you’re never alone on the road or in unfamiliar facilities. Comprehensive travel resources, onboarding assistance, and access to a network of seasoned travelers ensure you have the guidance you need from day one. The combination of competitive compensation, professional growth, stable support, and meaningful patient impact makes this opportunity a compelling step forward in your nursing career.
