Albuquerque, NM
Contracted
Sandia Ridge Center
Mid Level
Introduction: Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, anchored in the lively city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This travel-focused opportunity places you at the heart of compassionate resident care, enabling you to shape daily life for seniors who rely on skilled hands, thoughtful assessment, and steady reassurance. Start date 03/16/2026, with a guaranteed 36 hours per week and a weekly pay range of $762 to $806. Picture yourself bringing comfort, dignity, and better quality of life to each resident, while you grow within a specialty that values clinical expertise and human connection. And as you explore the Land of Enchantment, you’ll discover the area’s sunny skies, scenic mesas, the Rio Grande, and a culture that blends tradition with modern vitality—ideal for professional purpose and personal renewal.
Location Benefits: Albuquerque delivers a thriving healthcare environment with strong facilities, supportive leadership, and opportunities for mentorship within long-term care teams. The assignment also offers the possibility to work in various locations across the United States, expanding your clinical horizons and building a diverse portfolio of experiences. You’ll have access to housing assistance, accommodations or stipends designed to ease transitions between assignments, and a structure that smooths the move from one site to the next. In addition, extension opportunities let you continue your impact beyond the initial contract, aligning your evolving skills with the needs of different communities and care settings. The region’s natural beauty—from the Sandia Mountains to the Rio Grande—complements a professional life rooted in service, with outdoor recreation and a welcoming, vibrant culture that makes every placement feel meaningful.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll support residents with daily living activities, administer medications under protocol, monitor chronic conditions, implement and update care plans, and communicate changes to the supervising RN and medical team. You’ll perform wound care, monitor skin integrity, assist with mobility and rehabilitation activities, and provide person-centered care that respects privacy, dignity, and independence. You’ll document observations, contribute to clinical rounds, and collaborate with physicians, therapists, and social workers to coordinate care and discharge planning as appropriate. This role offers substantial professional growth: you’ll deepen expertise in geriatric assessment, dementia care, pain management, palliative comfort, infection control, and care coordination across multidisciplinary teams. Benefits include competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $762-$806, guaranteed 36 hours per week, plus a bonus program based on performance or contract terms, housing assistance to ease living arrangements while on assignment, and extension opportunities to stay longer if you and the site align. You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated travel team, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, rapid issue resolution, and onboarding resources to help you transition quickly. The combination of stable hours, strong clinical expectations, and a supportive infrastructure creates an environment where you can focus on delivering exceptional care and developing your skillset.
Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering staff to grow their careers within a supportive, collaborative culture. We prioritize respect, open communication, ongoing education, mentorship, and a clear path for advancement. Whether you’re refining clinical competencies, pursuing leadership opportunities, or expanding your scope of practice within long-term care, you’ll find resources, coaching, and recognition that honor your contribution and ambition. We are committed to a workplace where every nurse’s voice matters, where compassionate care is the standard, and where professional development is a shared priority across all teams and locations.
