Step into a meaningful travel assignment as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, stationed in Gallup, New Mexico, where compassionate care meets the richness of the Southwest. This multi-week opportunity begins on 03/01/2026, offering guaranteed 36 hours per week and competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,075 to $1,135. Imagine guiding residents toward improved daily living, building trust with families, and expanding your geriatric nursing skills in a supportive, dynamic setting. Amid the pace of care, you’ll discover the beauty of New Mexico—sunlit skies, expansive mesas, and a vibrant, close-knit community. For travelers who crave variety, there are opportunities to work at diverse locations across the United States, broadening your clinical exposure while keeping your career trajectory on a fast track.
Gallup sits on the edge of the spectacular Southwest, known for its rich Native American arts, dramatic canyon vistas, and outdoor recreation. In this role, you’ll serve a resilient population in long-term care facilities, with the chance to affect daily quality of life and comfort. Living and working here offers a welcoming small-town feel paired with modern amenities and a comparatively modest cost of living, making it easier to focus on your professional mission.

Your responsibilities as an LPN in Long-Term Care include daily resident assessments, monitoring vital signs, medication administration under state guidelines, wound care, catheter care, turning and positioning to prevent pressure injuries, documenting changes, and collaborating with RNs and interdisciplinary teams to update care plans. You’ll have opportunities to deepen geriatric nursing competencies, including dementia care strategies, fall prevention programs, pain management, and palliative comfort measures. The assignment offers a competitive weekly pay schedule, with potential for a sign-on or completion bonus, along with housing assistance or access to safe, comfortable lodging near your assignment site. Guaranteed hours are 36 per week, with the possibility of extensions depending on facility needs and performance. We support you with comprehensive onboarding, orientation, and ongoing mentorship, plus access to continuing education credits to enhance your professional profile. You’ll receive robust 24/7 support from our travel and clinical teams while you’re deployed, including travel coordinators, credentialing help, and a dedicated point of contact to address any concerns. We’ll coordinate licenses, certifications, and compliance requirements, helping you stay compliant and confident wherever your assignment takes you.
Our company is committed to empowering our nursing professionals, placing you at the center of a collaborative, respectful culture that values initiative, compassion, and continuous growth. We believe in clear paths for career advancement, whether you seek to expand into charge nurse roles, wound care specialist tracks, or administrative and teaching opportunities within long-term care. You’ll find a supportive environment that prioritizes your well-being, work-life balance where feasible, and recognition of your expertise in every assignment. Our approach is holistic: we invest in you with resources, community, and opportunities to build a lasting professional legacy.
