This opportunity places you in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico, a city known for its vibrant arts, rich heritage, and community spirit. Imagine delivering compassionate, patient-centered care to adults who deserve dignity, comfort, and individualized attention, all while contributing to a team that values your expertise and fosters your professional growth.

Location Benefits: Santa Fe offers a unique blend of Southwestern charm and modern amenities. Here you’ll work in a climate that welcomes bright days and mild evenings, with easy access to outdoor adventures, historic plazas, and thriving local cuisine. If you ever crave variety, you also have the opportunity to work across multiple locations in the U.S., expanding your clinical exposure and building resilience in diverse care settings.

The Santa Fe assignment combines the comfort of a close-knit community with the excitement of discovering new environments, all while contributing to quality LTC services that matter.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, you will play a pivotal role in direct resident care, medication administration, wound care, and routine assessments under the supervision of registered nurses and physicians. Your responsibilities will include monitoring vitals, documenting changes in condition, assisting with activities of daily living, supporting care planning, and ensuring adherence to regulatory standards and facility policies. You’ll collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to implement precise care plans, emphasize patient safety, and advocate for residents’ preferences and goals. This position provides a structured pathway for professional growth within geriatric and long-term care specialties, with opportunities to expand roles, refine clinical judgment, and expand your leadership capabilities as you mentor newer team members or take on more complex cases.

In addition to competitive compensation, you’ll enjoy benefits designed to support your lifestyle and career trajectory. The role offers a competitive weekly pay range of $975–$1,034, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, and a multi-week contract slated to begin on 03/04/2026. You’ll have housing assistance to ease transition, and extension opportunities so you can continue applying your skills and advancing with the program if you choose. A dedicated team provides comprehensive support around the clock, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, so you always have a trusted partner available to help navigate challenges or questions as they arise. Acknowledging the realities of travel nursing, the program supports you with onboarding resources, licensure guidance where needed, and access to a broad network of clinical peers to share best practices and encouragement. Note that the hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
