Santa Fe, NM
Contracted
Casa Real
Mid Level
Seize a rewarding opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, and imagine the impact you can make each day in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This role isn’t just about a schedule or a paycheck—it’s about partnering with residents, families, and a devoted care team to promote dignity, comfort, and stability in every stage of life. Beginning on February 19, 2026, this travel assignment is designed for several weeks with guaranteed 36 hours per week, offering a competitive weekly pay between $1,113 and $1,160. You’ll also have access to housing support and clear extension opportunities, enabling you to plan for continuity and growth as you advance in your career. While you perform essential foundational nursing duties, you’ll witness firsthand how thoughtful, consistent care transforms daily living for residents who deserve the best possible quality of life. And when you’re off duty, you’ll be surrounded by the beauty of New Mexico—sunlit mesas, towering skylines, and Santa Fe’s renowned art, food, and outdoor adventures—beautiful places that refresh the spirit and reinforce the meaning of patient-centered care.
Location Benefits: Working in Santa Fe combines the unique rhythm of a historic, culturally rich city with the demands and rewards of a robust healthcare setting. Santa Fe offers access to wide-open spaces, mountain trails, and a climate that invites outdoor exploration after fulfilling shifts. The city’s fusion of Pueblo-style charm, modern amenities, and a thriving arts scene creates an inspiring backdrop for clinicians who value balance and renewal. For those who crave broader professional horizons, this program also provides the opportunity to work in additional locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical exposure, networking with diverse teams, and building a versatile resume. In Santa Fe, you’ll experience community hospitals and long-term care environments that emphasize person-centered planning, family engagement, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The advantage is clear: you bring your LPN expertise to a setting that respects skilled nursing care, while enjoying the distinctive beauty and culture of New Mexico between assignments or as you explore new sites nationwide.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this long-term care specialty, your responsibilities center on delivering high-quality, compassionate nursing care to residents with chronic needs, complex medications, and goals of enhanced independence. Core duties include comprehensive patient assessments, accurate medication administration, vital signs monitoring, wound care, catheter management, and assistance with activities of daily living. You’ll participate in care planning, interdisciplinary team meetings, and timely documentation to ensure continuity and safety. Your clinical judgment will guide fall prevention, pain management, infection control, and safe transitions of care. The position also offers significant opportunities for professional growth within long-term care—from mentoring new nurses to taking on increased responsibilities in care coordination, quality improvement initiatives, and leadership roles as extensions are granted.
Benefits beyond the bedside include a comprehensive package designed to attract and support traveling clinicians. A competitive pay range recognizes your expertise, with weekly earnings in the stated range, and guaranteed hours to help you budget confidently. Attractive housing assistance or stipends reduce relocation worries, while extensions provide a clear path to longer-term placements if you wish to remain in a community you’ve grown to love. A sign-on bonus or similar incentive is available to acknowledge your commitment to this assignment. You’ll also receive ongoing support designed for traveling clinicians: 24/7 assistance from a dedicated team, access to travel resources, and administrative backing to smooth transitions between shifts and sites. This all translates into a work experience where clinical excellence is matched by stability, resources, and a promise of continued professional development.
Company Values: The organization behind this travel opportunity is committed to empowering its staff. You’ll find a culture that prioritizes professional advancement, mentorship, and a supportive, collaborative environment where staff voices are heard and respected. Ongoing education, evidence-based practice updates, and opportunities to pursue specialty certifications are encouraged, with resources allocated to help you reach your goals. The emphasis on teamwork, respect, and accountability creates a workplace where compassionate care is the baseline and personal growth is a visible pathway. As you contribute to resident well-being, you’ll also discover a community that values your career trajectory as much as your bedside presence.
