About The Position

Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every care moment matters and your expertise helps residents live with dignity, comfort, and warmth. This travel assignment begins on 02/10/2026 for several weeks, offering you a unique opportunity to apply clinical skill, compassion, and leadership in a setting that values your touch, your judgment, and your ability to empower others. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, you’ll join a team that respects the art of geriatric nursing as much as the science behind it, delivering person-centered care that honors each resident’s history, preferences, and goals. Picture yourself making a tangible difference day after day, guiding care plans, supporting daily living activities, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to create a calm, safe, and hopeful environment. And beyond the walls of the facility, you’ll find a state where sunsets glow over the Sandia foothills, where the Rio Grande winds through communities lush with history, and where the warmth of Southwestern hospitality complements your professional mission. New Mexico offers a landscape of beauty and inspiration that enriches your day-to-day work. From the panoramic views of the Sandia Mountains to the quiet expanse of White Sands and the historic charm of Old Town Albuquerque, the state invites reflection and renewal. You’ll have the chance to experience the region’s diverse culture, vibrant art, and outdoor adventures in your downtime—whether hiking a scenic trail, exploring local cuisine, or simply enjoying a sunset over the Bosque del Apache. This remarkable backdrop supports a balanced lifestyle as you deliver compassionate care, build lasting relationships with residents and families, and grow professionally in a community that values resilience, empathy, and teamwork. Location benefits extend beyond Albuquerque’s undeniable appeal. You’ll be stepping into a community that values stability, professional development, and the camaraderie that comes from serving in long-term care. The role also opens the door to opportunities across the United States, allowing you to broaden your clinical experience in varied facilities and patient populations while maintaining the same standard of excellence you bring to your practice. The travel model provides exposure to different care philosophies, regulatory environments, and best practices, enriching your skill set and expanding your professional network. Expect competitive pay framed by a weekly rate in the range of $862-$892, plus eligible bonuses, housing assistance, and the flexibility to pursue extension opportunities that align with your career goals. You’ll enjoy reliable support every step of the way, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated team as you travel and adapt to new facilities, shifts, and care teams. In this role, you’ll be at the heart of patient care in a long-term care setting. Core responsibilities include administering medications and treatments as ordered and within scope, monitoring residents’ health status, recognizing subtle changes, and communicating findings to the supervising nurse. You’ll provide assistance with activities of daily living, support recovery and rehabilitation plans, manage wound care and preventative skin integrity measures, and document accurately to ensure seamless continuity of care. You’ll participate in care conference meetings, contribute to care plans, and act as a role model for residents and new staff. The position offers meaningful opportunities for professional growth within geriatric nursing—expanding your clinical competencies, enhancing your assessment skills, and nurturing leadership potential as you mentor CNAs and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams. You’ll receive comprehensive support designed to help you thrive: a structured orientation, ongoing clinical resources, access to continuing education, and opportunities to pursue specialty certifications related to long-term care. A guaranteed sense of security comes from the option for extended assignments and the possibility of additional shifts or placements that align with your availability and preferences. The company behind this opportunity is dedicated to empowering its nursing staff through a culture of respect, advancement, and support. You’ll benefit from an environment that values open communication, recognizes your contributions, and provides clear pathways for career progression. The organization fosters teamwork, accountability, and a patient-first philosophy, ensuring your workplace feels supportive and collaborative. Expect leadership that listens, peers who mentor, and managers who advocate for your professional development. Your voice matters in shaping care delivery, policy understanding, and quality improvement initiatives that elevate the standard of geriatric nursing across settings. The emphasis on personal growth is matched by practical support: flexible scheduling options where possible, housing assistance to ease the transition to travel assignments, and the chance to build a robust portfolio of geriatric care experiences that will serve you throughout your career. If you’re ready to join a company that truly values your contribution and invests in your development, this is your moment. Apply now to begin a travel nursing journey that honors your expertise, expands your horizons, and supports your ambitions. This role is more than a temporary assignment; it’s a pathway to enhanced clinical proficiency, stronger leadership capabilities, and a rewarding professional chapter in long-term care. Take the next step with a partner that stands beside you—through every shift, every facility, and every milestone of your nursing career.
