Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where every careful gesture and compassionate word translates into comfort, dignity, and a tangible improvement in residents’ daily lives. This role puts you at the heart of a collaborative, patient-centered team, guiding individuals through routine care, daily activities, and meaningful conversations about quality of life. As you bring clinical skill together with empathy, you’ll help families navigate transitions with clarity and confidence, turning each shift into an opportunity to restore hope and independence where possible. The assignment begins on 12/01/2025 and unfolds over a defined number of weeks, with the potential for extension, allowing you to build lasting relationships within a community that values consistency, respect, and skilled care. Nestled in the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico offers more than a workplace; it offers a backdrop of striking landscapes, vibrant culture, and a pace of life that invites thoughtful, patient-focused practice.

Albuquerque is a hub of warmth, accessibility, and opportunity. You’ll benefit from a robust healthcare ecosystem, a welcoming community, and proximity to the Sandia Mountains and expansive outdoor offerings that make downtime restorative and inspiring. The city’s blend of modern medical facilities, educational resources, and diverse residents creates a rich learning environment for LPNs advancing in long-term care. For those who crave travel with stability, this assignment also opens the possibility of working across various locations in the United States, experiencing regional practice variations,不同 perspectives, and best practices while maintaining a core commitment to high-quality geriatric care. Albuquerque’s unique position—sunny days, outdoor recreation, unique southwestern cuisine, and a heritage-rich atmosphere—contributes to a work life that rejuvenates as you advance in your career. Picture evenings spent exploring Old Town’s adobe architecture, savoring regional cuisine, or taking a sunset hike along the foothills, all while continuing to deliver exceptional resident care in a setting that respects your expertise and values your well-being.

In this Long-Term Care nursing role, your day-to-day duties center on resident-centered care that respects individual histories, goals, and abilities. You’ll administer medications and monitor responses within the plan of care, perform accurate charting in electronic health records, and assist with activities of daily living to promote comfort, dignity, and independence. You’ll conduct vital sign checks, wound care, and routine assessments, respond promptly to changes in condition, and collaborate with registered nurses, therapists, social workers, and families to update care plans. You’ll participate in rounds and care conferences, reinforce infection control practices, and implement fall prevention strategies. You’ll also support cognitive health through structured routines, reminiscence activities, and meaningful engagement for residents with memory challenges. The role offers opportunities to deepen expertise in geriatrics, palliative care principles, wound care, and dementia care, with potential pathways for specialty certifications and professional development. This assignment is designed to support you as you grow—whether you’re seeking more autonomy in clinical decision-making, leadership exposure, or mentorship roles within a compassionate, interdisciplinary team. The package includes a competitive bonus structure, housing assistance or stipends, and clear pathways to extend the assignment if preferred, recognizing your contributions and commitment to outstanding resident outcomes.

Beyond clinical duties, you’ll gain access to comprehensive support designed to keep you thriving on the road. A dedicated support team stands ready around the clock to assist with scheduling, credentialing, housing logistics, and problem-solving in real time, ensuring you never face challenges alone while traveling with the company. You’ll enjoy the security of weekly pay in the range of $935-$939, with potential for additional incentives, and you’ll find reassurance in the presence of a generous extension framework that aligns with your career goals and personal needs. While the schedule can be dynamic, you’ll experience consistent clinical teammates, reliable supervision, and a culture that values learning, feedback, and your evolving professional strengths. The combination of competitive compensation, housing assistance, extension opportunities, and 24/7 support creates a compelling environment for LPNs who want to make a meaningful impact with stability and growth.

Our company is committed to empowering every staff member through clear career pathways, ongoing education, and a supportive work environment where your voice matters. We invest in your professional advancement, facilitate mentorship and skill-building, and foster a culture that respects work–life balance, resilience, and the dignity of every resident. You will join a mission-driven team that believes in elevating geriatric care through compassion, evidence-based practice, and collaboration. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to develop expertise, expand your professional network, and contribute to a community that values your expertise and dedication.

If you’re ready to apply, seize this opportunity to join a company that honors your contributions and supports your ongoing development. Bring your LPN skills to a role where long-term care is practiced with humanity, precision, and a shared commitment to excellence. Explore the possibilities of growth, meaningful impact, and adventure in New Mexico’s welcoming landscape, and help shape the future of compassionate geriatric care in Albuquerque and beyond.
