Step into a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, where every shift shapes the quality of life for residents who rely on skilled, compassionate care. This weeks‑long assignment opens pathways to grow clinically while making meaningful connections in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a city renowned for its adobe architecture, vibrant arts, and breathtaking landscapes. Picture your care extending beyond the bedside as you become part of a supportive team that values your expertise, resilience, and patient‑centered approach. Beyond the clinical duties, you’ll have the chance to experience the state’s beauty—the high desert sunsets, the glow of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, and the rich blend of Pueblo and Hispano culture. You’ll practice in a Long‑Term Care setting where your nursing skills shine, you build trust with residents and families, and you move toward leadership opportunities within a company that celebrates your dedication and growth.

Santa Fe offers a unique blend of outdoor recreation, cultural abundance, and a welcoming community, while also providing flexibility to explore other locations across the United States during different assignments. The location benefits include competitive weekly pay between $1,073 and $1,108, guaranteed 36 hours per week, and a contract designed to support your personal and professional life. The surrounding region invites you to savor world‑class cuisine, festivals, and daily enjoyment of a temperate climate and scenic trails. For travel professionals, there is the opportunity to engage in additional U.S. facilities for varied experiences, seasonal rotations, and the chance to immerse in different care models while maintaining your nursing practice in Long‑Term Care. You’ll have access to housing support and a dedicated concierge to assist with logistics, so your focus stays on compassionate care and clinical excellence.

As an LPN in a Long‑Term Care setting, you will perform direct patient care, monitor vital signs, administer medications, manage wound care, assist with activities of daily living, and contribute to individualized care plans under the supervision of a registered nurse and interdisciplinary team. You’ll document accurately, communicate changes in patient status, and advocate for residents’ safety and comfort. The position offers opportunities for professional growth through onboarding, ongoing education, mentoring from experienced nurses, and exposure to varied care scenarios that sharpen assessment and critical thinking skills. In addition to competitive wages, we provide a sign‑on or performance bonus, housing assistance, and the possibility of contract extensions with minimal disruption to your schedule. The role emphasizes comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from our travel team, robust clinical resources, and a community that prioritizes your well‑being as you travel and work across facilities. You’ll be supported with orientation, tools, and technology that enable you to deliver high‑quality care, while you continue to grow your nursing practice and leadership capabilities.

Our company is grounded in empowering staff, recognizing that skilled LPNs are the backbone of long‑term care. We are dedicated to fostering a respectful, collaborative, and growth‑oriented environment where you can advance your career from clinical bedside to leadership roles within the network. Supportive supervision, peer mentorship, transparent communication, and a culture of compassion guide every assignment. We believe in honoring the dignity of residents and investing in the professional development of caregivers, with pathways to certifications, specialty training, and future opportunities that align with your goals. The organization values integrity, teamwork, and compassion, ensuring you have a clear path for career advancement and a supportive framework to achieve it, whether you’re returning to Santa Fe or exploring new facilities across the country.
