About The Position

Embrace a meaningful opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, bringing compassionate care, steady hands, and clinical precision to residents who rely on your expertise every day. In this role you’ll partner with a skilled interdisciplinary team to enhance comfort, safety, and quality of life, guiding residents through daily activities, complex medication regimens, and emotional support with dignity and respect. You’ll translate assessments into care plans, monitor progress, and advocate for each patient’s preferences and goals. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to leave a lasting positive imprint on lives while advancing your clinical craft in a thriving long‑term care setting. And while you serve, you’ll be part of a community that values your dedication, resilience, and professional voice. Separately, you can explore the beauty of New Mexico—sunlit deserts, crimson skies at dusk, the rugged Sandia Mountains, vibrant festivals, and a culture that welcomes curiosity and exploration. Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this opportunity places you in a city known for its sunny climate, accessible outdoor recreation, and a restorative pace that suits thoughtful nursing care. Albuquerque blends a rich history with a modern health care community, offering connections to hospitals, clinics, and specialty facilities that enhance collaboration and professional growth. For those seeking geographic variety, our travel‑friendly program also presents the possibility to work in other locations across the United States, delivering diverse experiences—from urban centers to scenic small towns—while maintaining the same commitment to quality patient care. The advantage of serving in this region includes a supportive community, affordable living options, and opportunities to engage with culturally diverse patient populations, all while enjoying the unique landscape that makes New Mexico a compelling place to balance career and life’s adventures. In this role you will deliver essential long‑term care nursing responsibilities with intention and precision. Key duties include assessing patient needs, administering medications and treatments per physician orders, and monitoring vital signs and evolving care plans under RN supervision. You’ll perform wound care, diabetic foot care, and routine hygienic care; manage catheter and ostomy care as appropriate; and ensure safety through fall prevention and proper mobility assistance. Documentation in electronic health records, accurate reporting to the care team, and timely communication with families and primary physicians are core tasks. Collaboration is at the heart of the role: you’ll participate in round discussions, contribute to individualized care plans, and support transitional care when residents move between units or return home. You’ll cultivate professional growth by expanding your clinical repertoire within the long‑term care specialty, from palliative and restorative practices to advanced assessment techniques. The position offers opportunities for extension and advancement as you demonstrate reliability, clinical judgment, and compassionate leadership with residents and teammates. Benefits are designed to attract and retain dedicated professionals who want to grow while enjoying substantial support. You’ll receive a competitive compensation package that includes a weekly pay range of $976 to $1,010, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week. The assignment starts on 12/02/2025 and runs for several weeks, with strong extension opportunities based on performance and facility needs. A signing bonus or performance bonus may be available, and housing assistance is provided to ease relocation concerns. Even as you travel, you’ll have access to comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from our travel support team, ensuring you’re never alone on the road or in unfamiliar settings. This program is designed to minimize stress and maximize focus on patient care, while offering stability in scheduling and dependable pay.
