This is more than a job; it’s a chance to grow, serve, and belong to a community that honors your dedication and skill. Location benefits: Albuquerque offers a thriving healthcare landscape, convenient access to top facilities, and a network of skilled colleagues focused on delivering person‑centered care. You’ll be near the city’s unique blend of history, art, and outdoor appeal—from scenic drives along the Rio Grande to hiking the foothills of the Sandias and exploring Old Town’s galleries and flavors. The climate is mild enough to enjoy outdoor activity year‑round, supporting a balanced approach to work and life.

Your observations will inform quick communication and escalation when needed, contributing to safety, pain management, infection control, fall prevention, and mobility support. The role invites ongoing professional growth in geriatric nursing, chronic disease management, palliative care principles, and collaborative care planning. In addition to clinical duties, you’ll participate in care‑planning meetings, contribute to resident education, and engage in in‑service trainings that sharpen your clinical judgment and leadership potential. We offer competitive benefits that include a sign‑on bonus, housing assistance, and possibilities for contract extensions to align with your career goals and the evolving needs of partner facilities.
