About The Position

Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, stepping into a role that blends compassionate resident care with opportunities to grow your expertise across the fabric of our aging communities. This assignment begins on February 11, 2026 and runs for multiple weeks, offering you a dynamic travel experience that lets you impact lives while you explore diverse care settings. As you rotate through meaningful assignments, you’ll witness firsthand the resilience of residents, support families, and collaborate with a dedicated interprofessional team that values your judgment, steadiness, and skill. And when you’re ready for a moment to unwind, you’ll have the chance to enjoy the state’s rich landscapes— Albuquerque’s sun-drenched streets, the nearby Sandia Mountains, the vibrant arts scene, and the gentle pace of life that allows you to recharge after a day of meaningful care. New Mexico’s beauty extends beyond the city—glimmering deserts, canyons, and historic towns offer weekend getaways that refresh your perspective and keep you inspired. Location Benefits: Albuquerque is a thriving hub that blends cultural richness with outdoor accessibility. You’ll discover a community with a warm, welcoming spirit, a relatively affordable cost of living, and easy access to mountain trails, open spaces, and a renowned culinary scene. The assignment also opens the door to opportunities across other U.S. sites, enabling you to broaden your professional network, gain exposure to varied long-term care models, and experience different resident needs and care approaches. In this region, you’ll work within facilities that emphasize person-centered care, robust interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovative approaches to aging in place. Whether you’re drawn to urban amenities or weekend explorations in nearby national parks, this role supports a balanced lifestyle that respects your professional commitments and personal wellness. While Albuquerque offers a rich local experience, the broader travel opportunity allows you to refine your clinical judgment across diverse populations and facility cultures, enriching your resume and expanding your future trajectory. Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, you’ll be at the forefront of continuous, compassionate care for residents who rely on skilled observation, timely interventions, and a steady, reassuring presence. Your key responsibilities will include administering medications and treatments in accordance with physician orders, monitoring vital signs and health status, identifying changes in condition, and communicating findings clearly to the nursing team. You’ll participate in care planning, assist with activities of daily living, provide wound care, manage charting and documentation, and uphold infection control and safety standards. This role invites professional growth through mentorship, exposure to geriatric syndromes, and collaboration with RNs, physicians, therapists, and social workers to optimize quality of life for residents. We recognize your expertise and offer competitive compensation of $861-$922 per week, with the potential for a completion bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities to extend your contract if you’re enjoying the experience and facilities are in need of your talents. You’ll receive comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel support team to address housing, scheduling, or clinical questions while you’re on assignment. Note that the hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process. This assignment is temporary and multi-week, designed to let you experience different facilities while applying your nursing skills with confidence and compassion. The organization’s approach to care emphasizes empowerment, dignity, and continuous learning. You’ll benefit from a corporate culture that champions career advancement, recognizes and rewards clinical excellence, and provides pathways to broaden responsibilities within long-term care, including potential leadership or preceptor roles. A supportive work environment is foundational here, with resources, ongoing education, and constructive feedback that help you grow as a clinician and as a member of a caring community. Company Values: We’re committed to empowering our nursing staff to advance their careers while delivering high-quality resident care.
