About The Position

Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This travel-friendly opportunity is designed for driven professionals who combine clinical excellence with genuine compassion. Beginning on 03/02/2026 for a multi-week assignment, you’ll immerse yourself in the daily rhythm of long-term care, delivering hands-on support, skilled nursing tasks, and a steady presence that residents rely on. You’ll coordinate with a dedicated interdisciplinary team to assess needs, refine care plans, monitor medications, manage chronic conditions, and provide comfort during transitions. Your work will extend beyond clinical duties—offering reassurance to families and fostering a safe, dignified environment where residents can thrive. Picture the satisfaction of helping someone maintain independence and quality of life week after week, while expanding your practice in a supportive, mission-driven culture. New Mexico is a land of sunlit canyons, expansive skies, and a sense of open possibility. When you’re off duty, you can explore the beauty of Albuquerque’s foothills, ride the Sandia Peak tram for breathtaking views, or stroll historic Old Town with local art, music, and cuisine. The state’s remarkable landscapes—Carlsbad Caverns’ mystique, White Sands’ surreal dunes, and the red mesa textures of the high desert—offer a backdrop for renewal and exploration. In this role, you aren’t just caring for patients; you’re taking part in a community that values wellness, diversity, and lifelong learning. Your time in Albuquerque also opens doors to professional connections across the U.S., as you contribute to and learn from a broad network of facilities that share a commitment to compassionate care and clinical excellence. Location Benefits: Working in Albuquerque blends thriving urban amenities with outdoor adventure. You’ll find cost-effective living, a thriving food scene, and cultural richness that enhances your daily experience while you deliver high-quality care. For many travelers, the appeal lies in the possibility to rotate through different facilities across the U.S., expanding your clinical perspectives and building a versatile portfolio. As you move from one site to another, you’ll benefit from structured support, onboarding that respects your experience, and a rhythm that prioritizes patient-centered outcomes. The assignment includes weekly pay in the range of $838-$881, with flexible schedules that honor your expertise and personal commitments. Housing assistance is available, supplements can be arranged, and opportunities to extend or transition to new assignments help you design a career path that reflects your ambitions while you maintain work-life balance. You’ll join a network that values your skill set, your professional voice, and your dedication to patient safety and comfort. Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Long-Term Care LPN, your core responsibilities include hands-on patient care, medication administration under supervision, wound care, short and long-term care planning, monitoring and reporting changes in condition, and collaborating with RNs, physicians, therapists, and social services to implement individualized plans. You’ll document accurately, follow infection control and safety protocols, and contribute to daily rounds, care conferences, and discharge planning. The role emphasizes growth: you’ll have access to ongoing education, specialty certifications, and leadership paths within LTC settings, including mentor roles, charge nurse opportunities, or quality improvement initiatives. The position offers competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $838-$881, plus a bonus structure to recognize performance, reliability, and teamwork. Housing assistance supports your transition, while extension opportunities let you continue to refine your skills and deepen your impact. You’ll receive comprehensive 24/7 support from a dedicated operations team as you travel, ensuring rapid resolution of scheduling, orientation, or clinical questions. Our culture centers on professional development, evidence-based practice, and a collaborative environment where your voice is heard and your contributions matter. You’ll be empowered to enhance care standards, implement best practices, and mentor peers, all while maintaining the autonomy and accountability integral to your nursing role. Company Values: Our organization is committed to empowering every staff member through clear pathways for career advancement, continuous learning, and a supportive work environment.
