Begin a rewarding chapter in your nursing career as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, right in the heart of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is more than a job—it's an opportunity to impact residents’ daily lives, uphold dignity, and help families find comfort in challenging times. In long‑term care settings, your careful assessments, compassionate care, and steady presence become the foundation of steady, quality living for seniors and individuals with chronic needs. Picture yourself building trust with residents, guiding care plans in collaboration with RNs and interdisciplinary teams, and empowering residents to maintain independence whenever possible. As you carry out hands‑on care, you’ll also gain valuable specialty experience that broadens your clinical skills and deepens your professional confidence. And beyond the differences you’ll make, you’ll discover New Mexico’s unique charm—from vibrant Albuquerque neighborhoods to tranquil mountain views and sunlit desert skies, offering a lifestyle that complements a meaningful career.

Albuquerque blends historical culture with modern vitality, offering a welcoming climate for healthcare professionals and a backdrop of scenic beauty. When you’re not on shift, you can explore the city’s delightful dining, local arts, and outdoor adventures at nearby foothills, Sandia Peak vistas, and sprawling parks. The state’s diverse landscapes invite weekend getaways, cultural events, and a slower pace that supports balance between demanding shifts and restorative downtime. If you’re drawn to broader horizons, this opportunity also opens the door to assignments in other locations across the United States, delivering varied clinical experiences while you grow as a long‑term care professional.

In this role you’ll be responsible for monitoring residents’ conditions, administering medications as prescribed, managing wound and skin care, assisting with activities of daily living, and ensuring safety during transfers and mobility tasks. You’ll participate in care planning alongside nursing teams, document changes in residents’ status with accuracy, and communicate promptly with supervising RNs about any concerns. You’ll reinforce infection control practices, manage supply stock, and contribute to a calm, respectful environment where residents feel heard and valued. The position offers steady opportunities for professional growth within long‑term care, including targeted training in geriatric assessment, adverse event prevention, palliative care principles, and patient‑centered communication. You’ll be encouraged to pursue specialty certifications and expanded responsibilities that reflect your interests and strengths, with guidance and mentorship available from experienced colleagues.

Compensation and benefits are designed to recognize your expertise and dedication. The role features competitive weekly pay ranging from $831 to $859, with potential for additional earnings through performance recognition and role expansion. While on contract, you may qualify for housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, and there are extension opportunities that let you continue developing your specialty in caring for seniors over longer horizons. We also provide comprehensive support for traveling clinicians, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team, making it easier to focus on high‑quality patient care and your personal well‑being while you travel. In addition to financial rewards, you’ll gain access to resources that help you grow—clinical coaching, continuing education stipends, and a community of peers who share your commitment to compassionate care and professional excellence. The arrangement is described as temporary assignments with a flexible duration, offering valuable experience across settings while you expand your professional portfolio.

Our company values empowerment and a supportive, growth‑oriented culture. We’re dedicated to helping you advance your career while fostering a collaborative, respectful work environment.
