Step into a purpose-driven role as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with an assignment beginning February 25, 2026. This opportunity places you at the heart of compassionate elder care, where every shift offers the chance to improve comfort, preserve independence, and enrich the lives of residents and their families. Picture yourself guiding care plans in collaboration with registered nurses and physicians, applying your clinical skills to support daily living activities, medication management, and the maintenance of safety and dignity for residents who deserve the best possible quality of life. In addition to the professional reward, you’ll have the chance to explore the natural beauty and cultural richness of New Mexico—the stark, stunning desert landscapes, the Sangre de Cristo foothills, vibrant arts scenes, and flavorful cuisine that reflect a warm, welcoming community. You’ll also have the flexibility to pursue assignments across the United States, broadening your experience while continuing to deliver exceptional long-term care.

Location benefits are compelling in Albuquerque and the wider Southwest. The city blends a lively urban core with easy access to outdoor escapes, creating an ideal backdrop for work-life balance. You’ll enjoy a community that values collaboration across disciplines, with opportunities to rotate among a variety of long-term care settings—skilled nursing facilities, memory care units, and assisted living campuses—each presenting unique resident needs and learning moments. This environment supports professional growth through exposure to diverse clinical scenarios, evidence-based practices, and teamwork that elevates patient outcomes. Travel assignments within the U.S. may be available, offering you the chance to experience different facility cultures, regulatory landscapes, and patient populations. To ease your transition, housing assistance is provided, and the program is designed with flexibility in mind—you can pursue extensions if you wish to deepen your connections with a facility or region. A well-structured onboarding process ensures you’re supported from day one, with resources that help you acclimate quickly and confidently.

In this role, your responsibilities center on delivering skilled, compassionate nursing care that aligns with individualized care plans. You’ll monitor residents’ conditions, perform routine assessments, and recognize early signs of health changes. You will administer medications and treatments within scope, manage wound care and skin integrity, assist with activities of daily living, and support nutrition and hydration goals. You’ll participate in care planning meetings, document accurately, and communicate clearly with families and the care team to ensure continuity and transparency. You’ll have opportunities for professional development—whether pursuing specialty certifications, taking nurse leadership paths, or serving as a preceptor to less experienced staff—ensuring you grow in both clinical competency and leadership capability. The position includes a competitive weekly pay range of $1,437 to $1,534 and guarantees 36 hours per week, with a start date of 02/25/2026. The framework also includes a bonus program, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions that recognize your dedication and enable continuity in your professional relationships. You will receive 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you have a reliable safety net for logistics, surge needs, and credentialing questions, so you can focus on delivering outstanding patient care.

The organization is committed to supporting its nursing staff with clear career pathways, mentorship, and access to ongoing education that aligns with your goals. A culture of support means you won’t navigate complex assignments alone—there’s a dedicated network of colleagues and leadership ready to assist, advocate, and help you balance workload, safety, and personal well-being.
