About The Position

Take your nursing career to the next level as a Travel Registered Nurse in Long-Term Care. This inviting contract places you at the heart of compassionate, resident-centered care, where your clinical expertise and your empathy directly influence quality of life for seniors. You’ll lead assessments, tailor individualized care plans, administer medications, monitor chronic conditions, manage wounds, support fall prevention, and coordinate with physicians, case managers, families, and interdisciplinary teams. In LTC, every shift presents an opportunity to mentor CNAs, elevate care standards, and develop leadership skills that open doors to advanced roles. Your days will be spent in welcoming facilities in Albuquerque and across beautiful New Mexico, with the flexibility to explore additional sites across the United States. Start date February 25, 2026, with a contract described in weeks, and the option to extend depending on performance and community needs. Weekly pay ranges from $1,066 to $1,122, with no guaranteed hours, giving you the autonomy to tailor your schedule while still delivering outstanding resident care. When you’re off shift, New Mexico offers a tapestry of natural beauty and cultural riches to refresh and inspire you. In Albuquerque you can revel in a mild, sunny climate, stroll through Old Town’s charming adobe storefronts, savor acclaimed southwestern cuisine, and enjoy easy access to the Sandia Mountains for hiking and scenic vistas. Venture a short drive to Santa Fe for galleries, food, and high desert vistas, or plan a day trip to the awe-inspiring White Sands National Park, Carlsbad Caverns, or Bandelier National Monument. The state’s landscape changes with each season, inviting outdoor recreation—from desert trails to alpine escapes—while communities across the region celebrate vibrant arts, festivals, and a welcoming spirit that makes every stay feel like a home away from home. Location benefits extend beyond Albuquerque. This role offers you the chance to work within a network of LTC facilities across the U.S., expanding your professional horizons while you deepen your specialty in geriatric care. You’ll experience diverse patient populations, facility models, and care philosophies, all while remaining supported by a program that values continuity of care and staff well-being. The combination of New Mexico’s unique cultural milieu, affordable living, and the opportunity to traverse other states creates a launchpad for broadening clinical competencies, pursuing certifications in gerontology or wound care, and cultivating mentoring relationships with seasoned LTC leaders. Role specifics and benefits are designed with your growth in mind. You’ll manage comprehensive care for residents with complex needs, including medication administration, chronic disease management, functional assessments, fall risk mitigation, and behavioral health support. You’ll participate in care planning, contribute to quality improvement initiatives, and document outcomes that demonstrate measurable improvements in resident well-being. This role also emphasizes professional development: opportunities to become a charge nurse, lead quality assurance projects, and pursue specialty certifications that reinforce your expertise in long-term and palliative care. We offer a competitive package that includes a signing bonus, housing assistance to help you settle quickly in travel assignments, and the option to extend contracts based on performance and facility demand. You’ll never navigate shifts alone—the program provides 24/7 support while you travel with the company, ensuring that you have dependable guidance, troubleshooting, and encouragement whenever you need it. Our company values empower every nurse to advance while maintaining a supportive, respectful work environment. We are committed to recognizing your contributions, providing ongoing learning opportunities, and fostering a culture where curiosity and compassion go hand in hand. You’ll join a community that believes in transparent career pathways, constructive feedback, and collaborative teamwork, with leadership invested in your professional trajectory and your well‑being. Our approach is designed to help you build confidence, expand your clinical toolkit, and grow into roles with increasing responsibility—whether you stay in LTC or explore related specialties along the way. Ready to apply? This is more than a contract; it’s a doorway to meaningful impact, professional advancement, and the chance to experience the richness of New Mexico while delivering exceptional care. If you’re a proactive, compassionate RN with a heart for seniors and a desire to learn and lead, we’d love to hear from you.
