Beginning 03/01/2026, you’ll join a program that values hands-on nursing, clear communication, and ongoing professional growth. In this sunlit Southwest city, you’ll discover meaningful clinical work alongside the chance to explore New Mexico’s beauty—from the majestic Sandia Mountains to the historic charm of Old Town, from expansive desert trails to vibrant cultural festivals. Based in Albuquerque or rotating to trusted facilities across the country, you’ll enjoy a setting that blends purposeful work with natural inspiration and urban convenience.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Long-Term Care LPN, you will perform essential nursing duties including medication administration, wound care, routine assessments, monitoring of chronic conditions, vital signs, and early identification of changes in residents’ conditions. You’ll contribute to comprehensive care plans with RNs and physicians, support pain management, nutrition, hydration, safety protocols, and restorative activities, and ensure meticulous documentation in electronic health records. You’ll lead by example with CNAs, supervise basic caregiving tasks, reinforce infection control practices, and communicate clearly with families to provide reassurance and education. This role provides a clear path for professional growth within long-term care, with opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, expand leadership responsibilities, and participate in quality improvement initiatives that elevate resident outcomes. We offer competitive benefits, including a sign-on bonus, housing assistance for eligible assignments, and extension opportunities that enable you to deepen ties with facilities and communities. You’ll receive comprehensive support at every step, including 24/7 travel assistance from our dedicated team, access to clinical liaisons, and resources for licensure, credentialing, and ongoing education. Specifically, assignments come with guaranteed hours and a weekly pay range of $875 to $933, with the expectation of 36 hours per week, and the chance to renew or extend contracts to suit your career plans. The duration is defined in weeks, with flexibility to align with facility needs and your professional trajectory.
Company Values: Our organization is devoted to empowering staff, fostering a collaborative, respectful environment, and investing in career advancement. We champion mentorship, transparent leadership, and open communication that enables you to thrive both clinically and personally. Commitment to supportive supervision, ongoing training, and a culture that places residents’ dignity at the center of every decision provides a nurturing platform for you to grow from onboarding through advanced practice opportunities.
