Step into a purpose–driven role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long‑Term Care, positioned in the heart of Albuquerque, New Mexico, where every shift is an opportunity to elevate the daily lives of residents and their families. This travel‑friendly, week‑to‑week assignment is designed for motivated professionals who believe in compassionate geriatric care and collaborative teamwork. Beginning on 02/02/2026, you’ll join a dedicated care team for a weeks‑long engagement that emphasizes consistent support, professional growth, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a setting that values dignity, comfort, and well‑being. You’ll earn a competitive weekly pay ranging from $818 to $888, with flexible engagement options that align with your goals, while exploring the rich rhythms of a state known for hospitality, culture, and resilience. The arrangement is designed to adapt to evolving staffing needs, with opportunities to extend based on performance and program demand. This is more than a job—it’s a pathway to sharpen your clinical judgment, deepen your patient relationships, and contribute to a culture that treats residents as a family.
Albuquerque offers a compelling backdrop for your professional journey. The city’s sun‑splashed days, scenic foothills, and welcoming neighborhoods create a living and working environment that blends urban amenities with outdoor adventure. You’ll experience the convenience of a modern healthcare ecosystem paired with proximity to nature trails, vibrant dining, and a frontier‑tinged history that inspires daily resilience. Beyond Albuquerque, this role also opens doors to opportunities across the United States, allowing you to expand your clinical horizons while enjoying the variety of settings—from quiet suburban communities to dynamic urban campuses. In addition to the immediate location, you’ll be placed in environments where you can connect with peers, mentors, and leaders who share a commitment to excellence in long‑term care. And because New Mexico is home to remarkable natural wonders, you may find time to explore the region’s beauty—from the Sandia peaks to Old Town’s charm and nearby national scenic areas—offering a restorative balance to challenging shifts.
In this LPN‑Long‑Term Care role, you’ll be at the center of a comprehensive care plan for residents who rely on steady nursing presence. Key responsibilities include administering medications and treatments, monitoring vital signs, assessing and updating care plans, assisting with activities of daily living, wound care, infection prevention, and fall‑risk management. You’ll collaborate closely with RNs, physicians, and therapists to ensure continuity of care, document accurately in electronic records, and communicate clearly with families about progress and expectations. The position provides pathways for professional growth, including training in geriatric assessments, palliative principles, and care coordination strategies. You’ll have the chance to mentor junior staff and share best practices, strengthening your leadership competencies as you deepen your clinical expertise. The role is paired with attractive benefits that recognize the importance of your expertise: a competitive weekly pay rate, a sign‑on or performance bonus where applicable, and housing assistance designed to ease transitions for traveling professionals. You’ll also have access to extension opportunities that let you tailor your contract length to your personal and professional plans, fostering continuity for residents and stability for you. To support your success on the road, we provide 24/7 dedicated travel support, ensuring you have reliable guidance, quick issue resolution, and a trusted partner at any hour—because your focus should remain on delivering compassionate, high‑quality care.
Our company is built on a foundation of empowerment, respect, and growth. We are committed to elevating our staff through clear career development pathways, ongoing education, and opportunities to advance into leadership and specialization roles within long‑term care. A supportive work environment means access to mentorship, collaborative problem‑solving, and a culture that values your voice and expertise.

This is your chance to contribute to a company that prioritizes residents’ dignity and our team’s professional advancement while enjoying the unique opportunities of Albuquerque and the broader U.S. healthcare landscape.
