Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long‑Term Care, where every shift is an opportunity to preserve dignity, support independence, and enhance the quality of life for residents who entrust you with their daily care. In this role, you’ll transform routine routines into moments of comfort, respect, and connection, knowing your expertise directly shapes tomorrow’s brighter outcomes. As you care for elders in long‑term care communities, you will witness resilience, share in families’ stories, and become an essential part of a compassionate team. And when you’re ready for a change of scenery, New Mexico’s captivating landscapes invite you to unwind after demanding days—from sunny desert horizons to breathtaking mountain vistas and historic towns that glow with culture and warmth. Experience Albuquerque’s vibrant blend of modern amenities and southwestern charm, and enjoy easy access to weekend getaways that highlight the state’s natural beauty, including the Sandia foothills, sunlit mesas, and the starry skies that transform every night into a memorable moment.
Location Benefits: This opportunity places you in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a city known for its lively arts scene, delicious cuisine, and outdoor adventures that fit a nurse’s flexible schedule. You’ll benefit from steady, guaranteed hours while working in a state with a welcoming community and a supportive health care network. If you crave variety, there’s the potential to extend your assignment across different facilities and regions within the United States, enabling you to experience diverse care settings, new teams, and patient populations—all while maintaining continuity in your professional growth. Albuquerque offers a gateway to weekend explorations, cultural festivals, and nearby natural wonders, giving you a well‑rounded lifestyle that complements your dedication to patient care. And for those who relish travel, the program provides the chance to expand your horizons through assignments in other U.S. locations, enriching your clinical experience with different care models, interdisciplinary teams, and evolving best practices.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a long‑term care LPN, you will deliver hands‑on nursing care under the supervision of a registered nurse and in collaboration with physicians and therapists. Your core responsibilities will include performing routine and specialized assessments, administering medications and treatments, monitoring vital signs, coordinating care plans, and documenting changes in residents’ conditions with accuracy and empathy. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, implement wound care and infection control protocols, support safe mobility and fall prevention, and participate in interdisciplinary rounds to optimize individualized care plans. You’ll provide patient and family education, reinforce discharge planning, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that elevate the standard of care across the facility. This role is designed for professional growth within long‑term care, with pathways to advanced competencies, mentorship opportunities, and leadership exposure that recognize your dedication to geriatric nursing and resident advocacy.
Competitive benefits accompany your clinical responsibilities. Expect a competitive weekly pay range of $1,476–$1,531, with guaranteed 36 hours per week, and a start date of 01/15/2026 for a contract described in weeks. The compensation package includes a welcome bonus designed to recognize your experience and commitment, plus housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary lodging during your assignment. There are extension opportunities that allow you to continue making an impact while advancing your skills and leadership profile within the long‑term care discipline. Comprehensive support is a cornerstone of the program: a dedicated, behind‑the‑scenes support system is available 24/7 for traveling clinicians, ensuring you can navigate onboarding, orientation, and any unforeseen challenges with confidence. Expect seamless access to travel coordinators, on‑call clinical supervisors, and administrative partners who understand the realities of moving between facilities and states, all aimed at keeping you focused on patient care and your own well‑being.
Company Values: The organization is built on a foundation of empowerment, respect, and continuous development. By prioritizing career advancement, ongoing education, and a supportive work environment, the company commits to helping you expand your scope of practice, refine geriatric care competencies, and grow into roles of greater responsibility. You’ll join a culture that values empathy, teamwork, and professional integrity, recognizing that your expertise as an LPN strengthens every patient interaction and every care plan. From day one, you’ll experience a collaborative atmosphere where feedback is constructive, achievements are celebrated, and every team member is encouraged to contribute ideas that improve resident outcomes and workplace morale.
