Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, bringing compassionate, hands-on care to residents who depend on you for comfort, dignity, and daily well‑being. In the sun‑drenched communities of Belen, New Mexico, you’ll join a dedicated team where every shift is an opportunity to elevate quality of life through skilled nursing, attentive listening, and thoughtful advocacy. Here, your expertise matters—from meticulous medication administration and vital‑sign monitoring to gentle assistance with activities of daily living and collaborative care planning. You’ll help residents maintain independence where possible, support families with clear communication, and champion respectful, person‑centered care in a community that values your professionalism. This role isn’t just about fulfilling tasks; it’s about building trust, nurturing resilience, and making a meaningful difference in the daily lives of seniors and their families. Start Date: 03/06/2026, with a contract length described as weeks, offering a substantial, hands‑on assignment that can open doors to further opportunities within the Long‑Term Care specialty. The schedule is designed to provide consistent, guaranteed hours—36.0 hours per week—so you can plan your weeks with confidence while delivering high‑quality care. And while you focus on your residents, you’ll be supported by a network that respects your time, expertise, and growth.
New Mexico’s beauty goes beyond the care floor. In your downtime, you’ll discover wide desert skies, timeless adobe architecture, and scenic byways that wind through historic towns and rugged landscapes. From the quiet charm of local plazas to the salty breeze of nearby reservoirs and the easy access to northern elms and southern sunsets, the Land of Enchantment offers a backdrop that replenishes your spirit. Belen sits within easy reach of Albuquerque’s vibrant arts scene and outdoor recreation, inviting weekend getaways, easy day trips, and a chance to recharge as you return to your essential work with renewed energy. Across the U.S., there are opportunities to broaden your horizons—various locations provide fresh patient populations, new teamwork dynamics, and the chance to refine your geriatric nursing skills in diverse facility environments.
Location benefits extend well beyond scenery. Working in Belen places you in a close‑knit community with strong family values, accessible healthcare resources, and a supportive infrastructure designed to help you thrive. You’ll enjoy reliable transportation options, a welcoming environment for professional collaboration, and the chance to participate in local events and community programs that celebrate senior care. If you crave broader exploration, the assignment includes the possibility of placements in other locations across the country, exposing you to different facility cultures, regulatory landscapes, and resident needs—experiences that broaden your clinical repertoire and enrich your professional story. The combination of stable hours, a competitive weekly pay range of $896–$936, and a guaranteed 36 hours per week creates a solid financial foundation as you grow your expertise in long‑term care nursing.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to empower you. As an LPN in Long‑Term Care, you’ll execute and supervise direct resident care under the guidance of an interdisciplinary team. Responsibilities include monitoring health status and changes in condition, administering prescribed medications and treatments with precision, supporting residents in daily activities, and documenting care plans and outcomes to support continuity of high‑quality care. You’ll participate in care planning discussions, identify opportunities for pain management optimization, and contribute to safety initiatives that reduce falls and adverse events. Your professional growth is central here: ongoing mentorship, opportunities to expand into leadership or charge nurse roles, and potential pathways toward specialized certifications within geriatrics. The role offers a lucrative package that acknowledges your commitment, including a sign‑on or performance bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation needs, and potential contract extensions that recognize your reliability and impact. You’ll also benefit from comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel and clinical support team while you’re traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone. The combination of clinical autonomy within a supportive framework, a clear path for advancement, and a community that prioritizes patient‑centered care makes this position uniquely rewarding.
The company’s values center on empowering staff, prioritizing career advancement, and cultivating a collaborative, respectful work environment. You’ll be part of a culture that recognizes your expertise, listens to your insights, and invests in your ongoing professional development. Expect structured orientation, continuing education opportunities, competency validation, and constructive feedback that helps you grow from assignment to assignment. A supportive leadership team is committed to your well‑being and success, balancing accountability with flexibility to help you manage the realities of long‑term care nursing while pursuing your professional goals.
