Powerback - Red Rocks Care Center
Mid Level
Introduction: Step into a pivotal, patient-centered role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, with a weeks-long assignment in Gallup, New Mexico, beginning 03/02/2026. In this position, your clinical skill and compassionate approach will directly enhance daily living for residents who rely on steady, respectful care. You’ll become part of a team that values dignity, comfort, and continuity of care, ensuring that each resident experiences well-being and safety. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to build meaningful relationships, mentor younger staff, and influence quality of life in a setting that blends the warmth of community with the rugged beauty of the high desert. Gallup offers a gateway to outdoor adventures, cultural richness, and a slower pace where your expertise can shine. Beyond Gallup, the role also opens pathways to assignments across the United States, delivering diverse experiences while you grow in your specialty. You’ll be supported by a company that recognizes your dedication and invests in your professional journey while you deliver compassionate, patient-centered care in long-term settings.
Location Benefits: Nestled in the heart of New Mexico, Gallup is a place where sunsets paint the mesas and the cultural tapestry of the region comes alive every day. You’ll work in a community renowned for its warmth, resilience, and connection to Native American and Southwestern traditions, with access to local galleries, markets, and outdoor spaces that invite hiking, scenic drives, and sunset vistas. The location blends quiet, patient-centered routines with opportunities to engage with residents’ memories and stories, creating meaningful moments in care. For clinicians who crave variety, this assignment offers the option to continue on additional weeks or transition to other U.S. locations as part of a comprehensive travel program, expanding your exposure to different populations, facility types, and care models while maintaining the familiar support network you’ll have in place. You’ll enjoy practical benefits tied to Gallup’s lifestyle—lower commute stress, access to community resources, and the chance to recharge after shifts in a region known for its clear skies and outdoor recreations. And because you’re part of a broader national program, you have the flexibility to explore a wider spectrum of facilities across the United States, all while receiving 24/7 support and a consistent framework for your travel nursing experience.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, you’ll provide essential direct care to residents requiring ongoing support for activities of daily living, chronic needs, and transitional care. Key responsibilities include monitoring vital signs, administering prescribed medications, wound care, injections as authorized, and management of simple IV therapies where applicable. You’ll perform accurate patient assessments, implement and adjust care plans in collaboration with RNs and interdisciplinary teammates, document observations in electronic health records, and communicate changes promptly to families and the care team. You’ll assist with mobility, transfers, and fall prevention, support residents’ nutritional needs, and ensure a safe, comfortable environment that respects dignity and autonomy. The role emphasizes prevention, comfort, and rehabilitation principles, with opportunities for professional growth through ongoing training, mentorship, and exposure to diverse care scenarios within long-term care settings. Benefits include competitive compensation and a weekly pay range of $1,232-$1,258, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, ensuring financial predictability. You’ll have access to a sign-on bonus and housing assistance, reducing upfront relocation costs and making it easier to focus on clinical excellence. Extension opportunities are available, allowing you to lengthen your assignment or transition to related roles as you build expertise in evolving care models. Comprehensive support is a cornerstone of the program: 24/7 assistance for traveling clinicians, a dedicated clinical liaison, and access to resources that help you navigate shift scheduling, licensing requirements, and compliance. You’ll also benefit from orientation, ongoing education credits, and pathways to advance within the organization’s long-term care specialty. The role emphasizes teamwork, physician and nursing collaboration, and a patient-first approach, all aimed at delivering high-quality, consistent care across shifts and units.
Company Values: Our partner organization is committed to empowering staff through clear career pathways, ongoing mentorship, and a culture that prioritizes safety, respect, and professional development. You’ll join a supportive environment where feedback is encouraged, achievements are recognized, and every team member contributes to a collaborative care ecosystem.

You’ll experience a workplace where your expertise is valued, your voice matters in shaping care outcomes, and your wellbeing is supported through resources, wellness programs, and a respectful, inclusive community.
