Step into a pivotal role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift becomes a meaningful opportunity to comfort, guide, and uplift residents who rely on your steady hands and compassionate heart. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, you’ll join a dedicated care team that prizes thoughtful assessment, precise communication, and hands‑on care that honors dignity across every day. This assignment isn’t merely a temporary posting—it’s a doorway to deepen your geriatric expertise, to influence daily routines, and to grow as a trusted partner for residents, their families, and fellow clinicians. As you weave through med passes, care plans, and restorative activities, you’ll discover how your proactive care stabilizes comfort and strengthens quality of life. The backdrop of New Mexico’s expansive skies and rich cultural landscape invites reflection, reminding you that the work you do matters in a community that values resilience and warmth. The state’s beauty comes alive beyond the walls of the facility: sunsets over the Sandia foothills, the canyon‑flush reds of desert cliffs, the luminous expanse near White Sands, and the cultural heartbeat of Santa Fe, Taos, and Albuquerque itself. These inspirations accompany your day, grounding clinical impact in a sense of place and purpose.

Albuquerque presents a compelling location benefits package: a lively urban center with accessible outdoor trails, vibrant neighborhoods, and ample opportunities for a balanced lifestyle. The city blends modern amenities with a welcoming Southwest pace, making it easier to recharge after shifts while staying connected to a strong professional network. For those who crave broader horizons, this opportunity also offers exposure across various sites nationwide, expanding your clinical repertoire with diverse geriatric populations, care models, and interdisciplinary teamwork. You’ll experience the advantages of working in well‑supported facilities that value consistent practice standards, with your specialized Long‑Term Care focus anchored in comprehensive assessment, safe medication administration, chronic disease management, and restorative strategies that honor residents’ independence. Across locations, you’ll benefit from standardized onboarding and a unified support structure that helps you adapt quickly, learn continually, and navigate transitions with confidence. The combination of Albuquerque’s local charm and the chance to travel to other regions creates a uniquely rewarding professional journey, pairing stability with the excitement of new environments.

Role specifics and benefits come together to create a fulfilling, growth‑oriented nursing experience. Core responsibilities include accurate medication administration and documentation per care plans, vigilant monitoring of vital signs and evolving conditions, wound care and dressing changes when indicated, and assistance with activities of daily living to sustain residents’ dignity and autonomy. You’ll collaborate with RNs, medical directors, therapists, and social services to refine care plans, document changes, and coach aides and CNAs to deliver consistent, compassionate care. This role offers clear pathways for professional development within Long‑Term Care, including mentorship for peers, potential certification in gerontology, and involvement in quality improvement initiatives. The compensation package reflects the value of your expertise: a competitive weekly pay range of $929–$980, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, designed to provide scheduling predictability in a field where consistency matters. In addition, you’ll have access to housing assistance and a bonus program, plus extension opportunities that reward continuity and excellence. Comprehensive support is a hallmark of the experience, including 24/7 assistance while you travel with the company, onboarding resources, travel coordinators, and a dedicated clinical liaison who understands the realities of frontline LTC practice. Start date is 03/02/2026, and the contract runs for several weeks, with potential extensions based on performance, staffing needs, and mutual fit.

Our company values are more than words; they’re a lived commitment to empowering staff, advancing careers, and sustaining a supportive, collaborative work culture. You’ll find a team that recognizes your contributions, provides ongoing feedback, and honors your professional growth through structured opportunities, access to learning resources, and a clear trajectory toward expanded responsibilities in geriatric care. Whether you’re strengthening clinical skills, taking on leadership responsibilities, or guiding new teammates, you’ll do so within a framework that respects your expertise and your voice.
