About The Position

Imagine stepping into a role where your expertise as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care directly touches the lives of residents who rely on your steady hands, compassionate ears, and unwavering presence. This travel opportunity invites you to bring comfort, dignity, and specialized geriatric care to communities across the United States, starting February 9, 2026, for a several-week assignment that promises professional growth, meaningful impact, and the chance to see parts of the country you’ve always wanted to explore. Beyond the clinical mission, you’ll discover the beauty of New Mexico’s Silver City—sun-drenched skies, rolling hills, and a vibrant cultural scene nestled near the Gila National Forest and picturesque trails. Silver City offers a welcoming, close-knit community with rich arts, historic charm, and easy access to outdoor adventures, while the Southwest’s unique landscape invites reflection after a day of focused care. This role combines the rewarding challenges of Long-Term Care with the flexibility and scope of travel healthcare. Based in Silver City, you’ll have the opportunity to work in various locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical repertoire while enjoying the steady rhythms of geriatric nursing. You’ll experience diverse facilities, from intimate, family-centered LTC settings to larger campuses that emphasize collaborative care models. The travel experience is designed to broaden your professional perspective, sharpen your assessment skills, and expose you to a range of regulatory environments, all while maintaining the consistent, patient-centered approach you bring to every shift. When you’re not on assignment in one of our partner communities, you’ll still feel connected to a nationwide support network dedicated to your success and well-being. In this role, your responsibilities center on delivering safe, high-quality patient care for older adults who require ongoing assistance with daily living activities, chronic disease management, and rehabilitation goals. You’ll perform essential nursing tasks within the LPN scope, including monitoring vital signs, administering medications as prescribed, assisting with activities of daily living, wound care, skin integrity assessments, and timely documentation in the patient chart. You’ll collaborate closely with registered nurses, physicians, and interdisciplinary teams to implement individualized care plans, evaluate progress, and adjust interventions as needed. You’ll play a key role in fall prevention, infection control, and mobility support, while offering education and reassurance to residents and families. The position also fosters leadership opportunities—supervising certified nursing assistants, guiding care coordination meetings, and contributing to quality improvement initiatives within the facility. A supportive network is in place to help you grow: ongoing clinical mentorship, access to geriatric care resources, and opportunities to advance into enhanced roles within the LTC continuum. This travel assignment is designed to be as rewarding financially as it is professionally. You’ll earn a competitive weekly pay rate in the range of $968 to $1,005, with the chance to maximize earnings through performance bonuses and completion incentives. In addition to a competitive compensation package, you’ll have access to housing assistance to simplify your transition between assignments, ensuring you have a comfortable, convenient base wherever your travel takes you. We also offer extension opportunities for assignments that align with your interests and career goals, providing continuity in settings you come to enjoy and the potential to grow into longer-term roles within our network. To support your smooth transition and ongoing success on the road, we provide 24/7 coaching and operational support as you travel with the company, so you’re never navigating the journey alone. Please note that hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process. Our company is built on a core commitment: empower and elevate our people. We believe in recognizing clinical excellence, supporting professional development, and cultivating a work environment where you feel truly valued. We invest in your growth through targeted training, competency-based learning tracks, and opportunities to broaden your scope within geriatric care. Whether you’re seeking to deepen your clinical repertoire, explore leadership pathways, or simply find a supportive community that shares your dedication to compassionate care, you’ll find it here. The culture emphasizes teamwork, transparency, and a shared mission to improve the quality of life for every resident we serve. You’ll join a network that celebrates your achievements, respects your autonomy, and stands ready to assist you with resources, guidance, and encouragement at every step of your journey. If you’re ready to blend clinical excellence with travel adventure, to impact lives in Long-Term Care, and to grow within a company that prioritizes your professional development and well-being, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today to embark on a journey that honors your skills, broadens your horizons, and connects you with communities that will welcome you as a valued member of the care team. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to shape the future of geriatric nursing while discovering the diverse landscapes of the U.S. and the warmth of Silver City, New Mexico.
