In Las Cruces, New Mexico, you’ll join a team that values empathy, precision, and teamwork, delivering thoughtful nursing care in a thriving community surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. New Mexico’s sun-soaked days, dramatic deserts, and spectacular vistas provide daily inspiration—whether you’re exploring the Organ Mountains, strolling through historic Old Mesilla, or enjoying the saffron glow of desert sunsets. The state’s rich blend of culture, cuisine, and outdoor adventures creates a unique backdrop for a meaningful nursing career. And while Las Cruces is your home base, this opportunity also opens doors to assignments across the U.S., enabling you to broaden your clinical experience while supported every step of the way. Location Benefits Las Cruces offers a welcoming, community-focused environment with a lower cost of living and excellent access to outdoor recreation. You’ll enjoy mild winters, warm summers, and ample chances to recharge with hiking, mountain biking, or a weekend escape to nearby national parks.

For those drawn to travel or the idea of serving in diverse settings, our program includes options to work in different locations across the country, expanding your clinical horizons while maintaining the stability of steady hours and reliable pay. In addition to the local advantages, we provide robust support services designed for traveling healthcare professionals: housing assistance, onboarding guidance, and 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team to ensure smooth transitions between assignments and locations. Role Specifics and Benefits As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll be entrusted with essential responsibilities that impact residents’ daily lives and overall health outcomes. Your core duties will include performing routine nursing assessments, administering medications and treatments, monitoring vital signs, and identifying changes in condition that require escalation. You’ll collaborate closely with Registered Nurses, physicians, and interdisciplinary teams to develop and implement individualized care plans, advocate for patient safety, and ensure comfort during daily activities and end-of-life care when appropriate. Documentation will be precise and timely, with a focus on accuracy, compliance, and continuity of care across shifts. You’ll contribute to care coordination, wound care, infection control, and rehabilitation activities designed to maximize residents’ independence and quality of life. The role also invites opportunities for professional growth within long-term care, including stepping into leadership roles such as charge nurse or preceptor, pursuing specialty certifications, and taking on quality improvement initiatives that enhance resident outcomes. Benefits that support you begin with a competitive wage in the range provided, enhanced by a bonus structure designed to recognize your contribution. We offer housing assistance to ease relocation or travel logistics, making it simpler to settle into a comfortable living arrangement near your assignment. Additionally, extension opportunities allow you to continue delivering compassionate care beyond the initial term, enabling you to deepen relationships with residents and staff while advancing your clinical expertise. A cornerstone of the program is comprehensive support from a traveling healthcare team: 24/7 assistance, troubleshooting for scheduling or clinical questions, and an experienced network of colleagues to lean on as you navigate new environments. You’ll have access to onboarding resources, licensure guidance as needed, and continuous opportunities to learn and grow within the LTC specialty, all within a culture that prioritizes safety, respect, and professional development. Company Values Our organization is built on empowering healthcare professionals to advance their careers in a supportive, patient-centered environment.
