Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is more than a job—it's a chance to bring comfort, dignity, and skilled, patient-centered care to residents who rely on your expertise every day. As you step into the rhythm of long-term care, you’ll partner with physicians, RNs, and support teams to monitor health changes, administer medications, perform routine assessments, assist with activities of daily living, and implement care plans that honor each resident’s history and preferences. Your hands-on clinical skills will be matched by your communication and empathy, helping families navigate transitions with clarity and confidence. The opportunity you’re considering will empower you to grow in geriatric nursing, expand your scope of practice, and reinforce your commitment to compassionate care in a setting that values your contributions.
Albuquerque is a city where culture, sun, and scenery converge to create a remarkable backdrop for a healthcare career. From the soaring Sandia Mountains to the vibrant Old Town, New Mexico’s landscape offers both inspiration and balance. Enjoy mild winters, sun-drenched days, and access to outdoor adventures, historical sites, and a community that values warmth and resilience. The state’s rich heritage, delicious regional cuisine, and opportunities to explore nearby state and national parks add depth to life away from the floor. This assignment also presents the flexibility to serve in various facilities across the United States, should you choose to expand your horizons and experience different care environments, all while building your professional portfolio in long-term care.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your success and growth. In this position, your responsibilities will include delivering direct resident care, administering medications per physician orders, monitoring vital signs, assisting with activities of daily living, wound care and dressing changes, and documenting observations in electronic health records. You’ll participate in care planning meetings, communicate changes in patient status to the supervising nurse, and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to prevent complications, promote rehabilitation, and maintain patient safety. The role offers a clear path for professional development: pursue advanced certifications in geriatric care, wound care, pain management, or infection control; assume charge nurse or lead roles on weekend or holiday shifts; and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that shape resident outcomes. You’ll be supported by a robust benefits package designed to recognize your expertise and dedication, including a competitive weekly pay range of $855–$897, with compensation aligned to actual hours worked in the weeks you’re on assignment. In addition, housing assistance is available to help you focus on care delivery and resident well-being without financial distraction. Where permissible, you can anticipate contract extensions that align with facility needs and your own career goals, providing continuity of practice and deeper resident relationships. And because travel can be demanding, you’ll have access to 24/7 support from a dedicated team—ready to assist with housing, credentialing, shift changes, and any on-the-road needs that arise—so you can travel with confidence and focus on clinical excellence.
This opportunity reflects the company’s values and commitment to you as a professional. The organization is devoted to empowering its staff through meaningful work, ongoing education, and a supportive work environment that prioritizes your professional advancement. You’ll find colleagues who value teamwork, ethical practice, and compassionate care, along with leadership that listens, mentors, and helps you navigate your career trajectory. The role is designed to be more than a temporary placement; it’s a path to deepen your expertise in long-term care while fostering a sense of belonging and accomplishment in a community of like-minded professionals.
