Take your Licensed Practical Nurse expertise to a community-centered role that prioritizes dignity, compassion, and tangible progress for every resident. In this travel assignment within Long-Term Care, your hands-on care, clinical judgment, and nurturing presence will transform daily life for seniors and adults with chronic needs. Begin in Gallup, New Mexico on 03/06/2026, stepping into a role designed for meaningful impact over weeks with guaranteed hours and competitive compensation. You’ll earn a weekly pay range of $1,427 to $1,497 while enjoying a steady 36 hours per week, providing both reliability and the chance to plan ahead. This is more than a job; it’s an opportunity to anchor compassionate care in a region known for its warmth, resilience, and unique cultural richness, with room to grow and extend your assignment if you choose.

New Mexico’s landscapes are as inspiring as the care you’ll deliver. Gallup sits amid sweeping desert skies, awe-inspiring red rock formations, and expansive horizons that invite quiet reflection after a demanding shift. The state’s beauty unfolds in every sunset, every canyon overlook, and every trail you may explore on your days off. You’ll be in a place where heritage and modern care beautifully intersect, offering moments to connect with communities, discover local artisan crafts, and experience outdoor opportunities—from scenic drives to tranquil park spaces—while continuing to advance your clinical skills in long-term care settings. And for those who crave variety, there is the possibility to work across multiple locations in the U.S., expanding your professional footprint, enriching your resume, and exposing you to diverse resident populations and care protocols.

In this role, you’ll deliver direct patient care tailored to long-term needs, including accurate medication administration, monitoring vital signs, wound care, and routine assessments that inform care planning. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, mobility support, daily hygiene, nutrition monitoring, and preventative strategies to minimize falls and health complications. Your expertise will help shape individualized care plans in collaboration with registered nurses, physicians, therapists, and social services, ensuring interventions reflect personal goals and cultural preferences. There is significant room for professional growth within the specialty: you’ll gain hands-on experience with dementia care, chronic disease management, palliative approaches, and infection control—opportunities that strengthen clinical confidence and prepare you for future leadership or advanced practice pathways. The role also invites mentorship and knowledge sharing with peers, elevating the team’s overall quality of care and resident satisfaction. With a traveler’s perspective, you’ll learn to adapt quickly to different facilities, charting systems, and interdisciplinary teams, building resilience and a robust skill set that translates across care environments.

Beyond clinical duties, you’ll be supported by a comprehensive benefits package designed to honor your time, expertise, and well-being. A welcome bonus recognizes your commitment to this specialized field, while housing assistance eases the logistics of relocation or temporary relocation to Gallup or other assignment sites. The arrangement includes potential extension opportunities—so if you find a facility where you connect with the team and residents, you can continue your journey there and deepen your impact. You’ll never have to navigate a shift alone: 24/7 support is available while you travel with the company, ensuring access to experienced coordinators, clinical leads, and on-site resources whenever you need guidance or a quick problem-solving conversation. This level of support helps you focus on care delivery, while the administrative and operational teams manage the logistics that come with travel assignments.

Our company is grounded in empowering staff, prioritizing both professional advancement and a supportive, respectful workplace culture. We believe in recognizing your expertise, investing in your training, and providing a clear path for career growth—from enhanced clinical specialization to potential leadership roles within long-term care settings. You’ll join a community that values open communication, continuous learning, and teamwork, where your contributions are celebrated and your development is a shared priority. The philosophy is simple: when you feel supported and empowered, you deliver higher-quality care, build stronger relationships with residents and families, and help facilities maintain their commitment to compassionate, person-centered services.

If you’re a dedicated LPN with a passion for long-term care and a desire to explore new places while delivering outstanding nursing support, this opportunity is for you.
