Job DescriptionSeize a meaningful opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This position puts you at the heart of resident-centered care where every day you help seniors maintain dignity, comfort, and independence. You’ll conduct daily assessments, administer medications, monitor for changes in health, and coordinate with physicians, therapists, and family members to craft care plans that reflect each resident’s preferences and goals. Your hands-on expertise will support wound care, falls prevention, pain management, and chronic disease management, while your compassionate communication ensures residents and their families feel heard and supported. In this role, you’ll not only apply clinical skills but also mentor care team members, contribute to audit-ready documentation, and participate in quality improvement initiatives that elevate everyday living for residents of long-term care facilities. The work is demanding but deeply rewarding, offering you the chance to build lasting relationships and see the tangible difference your care makes day after day. New Mexico’s landscapes offer a backdrop of natural beauty that complements your professional journey. Albuquerque’s sunny skies, the rugged San Pedro mountains, and the city’s blend of modern culture with historic charm create a welcoming environment to thrive. When you step off shift, you’ll have opportunities for outdoor adventures—from hiking the foothills and strolling Old Town to soaking in nearby hot springs or exploring the Sandia Peak tram. Across the state, you’ll find arts, cuisine, and warmth that reflect a rich Southwestern heritage, providing restorative escapes that help you recharge after meaningful days with residents who depend on you. While this role centers in Albuquerque, our positions often include options to work across various locations within the United States. You’ll gain exposure to diverse facility cultures, regulatory environments, and patient populations, expanding your clinical toolkit and accelerating your professional growth. The company supports mobility and offers programs that help you adapt quickly to new teams, facilities, and communities, while maintaining the standards of care you expect. Expect a reliable schedule that respects your life outside work, with consistent hours, and opportunities to extend assignments or transition to longer-term roles as you prefer. Key responsibilities include administering medications and treatments according to physician orders, observing and reporting changes in residents’ condition, assisting with activities of daily living, implementing individualized care plans, and contributing to timely, accurate documentation. You’ll participate in rounds with the interdisciplinary team, advocate for residents’ safety and comfort, and support families by communicating care goals and progress. Professional growth comes through ongoing training, potential certification support, and leadership pathways within the long-term care specialty. The bonus, comprehensive housing assistance, and extension opportunities are designed to recognize your expertise and commitment. A robust support system underpins your travel experience: 24/7 assistance from our dedicated travel team, on-site coordinators, and rapid access to resources whenever you need them. The role offers a competitive weekly pay range of $894-$949, with guaranteed 36 hours per week and a scheduled start date of 11/28/2025 for a duration measured in weeks. At the core, our company is devoted to empowering staff, fostering career advancement, and maintaining a supportive, collaborative work environment. We invest in your success with mentorship, upskilling opportunities, and transparent communication as you navigate assignments across the country. Your contributions are recognized, your well-being is a priority, and your professional development is expected and encouraged as part of a shared commitment to outstanding elder care.
