Step into a purpose-driven role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, delivering compassionate, patient-centered care that enhances daily living and preserves dignity for residents who rely on steady, skilled support. This multi-week travel assignment begins on 03/29/2026 and guarantees 36.0 hours per week, with weekly pay ranging from $1,070 to $1,146. You’ll join a dedicated team that values your hands-on expertise, your clinical judgment, and your ability to connect with residents and families during every shift. In long-term care, every small action—an encouraging word, a careful assessment, a timely medication administration—contributes to a meaningful quality of life. If you thrive in collaborative environments, embrace continuous learning, and want to make a tangible difference in a setting that respects your skills, this opportunity is for you. With every assignment, you’ll grow your practice, deepen your clinical confidence, and build lasting relationships with residents and colleagues who recognize the impact of your care.

Nestled in the culturally rich, scenic landscape of Santa Fe, New Mexico, this assignment offers more than a clinical opportunity—it invites you to experience a community known for its warmth, artful living, and remarkable natural beauty. Picture mornings in crisp high-desert air, afternoons exploring the distinctive adobe architecture and vibrant Pueblo heritage, and evenings enjoying mountain sunsets that color the horizon. Santa Fe’s enchantment sits alongside the chance to immerse yourself in a thriving, diverse community that respects tradition while embracing innovation. And for broader experiences, travel nursing opportunities through our program can extend to other remarkable locations across the United States, presenting you with a spectrum of facilities, patient populations, and professional challenges that sharpen your expertise while enriching your resume.

Role specifics and benefits begin with your core responsibilities: you will provide direct patient care under the supervision of registered nurses and physicians, perform routine assessments, monitor vital signs, and administer medications and treatments with precision and safety. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, support mobility and rehabilitation goals, and implement individualized care plans designed to optimize comfort, safety, and functional independence. Accurate documentation is essential—recording assessments, care provided, changes in condition, and any concerns to inform the interdisciplinary team. You’ll engage families with clear, compassionate communication, explain care plans, answer questions, and honor residents’ preferences and advance directives. Collaboration with RNs, therapists, social workers, and case managers will ensure a holistic approach to each resident’s well-being, while participating in ongoing quality improvement initiatives to elevate the standard of care. The opportunity for growth is built into the role: with experience, you can expand your scope, pursue specialty certifications in geriatric or chronic disease care, and take on mentorship or lead nurse responsibilities that reinforce professional confidence and leadership readiness.

Our benefits package is designed to acknowledge your expertise and support your life outside work. You’ll receive a competitive weekly pay range, a sign-on or retention bonus where applicable, and housing assistance to ease transition logistics as you settle into a new assignment. We also provide extension opportunities, giving you the option to continue contributing to care teams you’ve grown with and to further expand your understanding of long-term care practices. Comprehensive travel support means you’ll have 24/7 assistance from a dedicated team—helpful for scheduling, credentialing, and navigating any on-the-road challenges—so you can concentrate on delivering outstanding resident care with confidence. Beyond financial compensation, you’ll gain professional reinforcement through continuous education, access to clinical resources, and a community of peers who share your commitment to patient dignity and clinical excellence. The environment emphasizes empowerment: our organization prioritizes career advancement and a supportive, collaborative culture where every nurse’s voice is heard and every success is celebrated.

Company values center on empowering staff to reach new heights in their careers while maintaining a compassionate, patient-first approach. Expect a work environment that respects your expertise, supports your growth, and values teamwork as the foundation for exceptional resident outcomes. Our programs are designed to help you build a durable, rewarding career in long-term care—combining hands-on practice with ongoing training, mentorship, and opportunities to assume greater responsibility as you progress.
