Mid Level
Embark on a fulfilling journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, with an opportunity to serve residents in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This role places you at the heart of compassionate, person-centered care where your expertise enhances daily living, dignity, and comfort. Begin on 03/02/2026 for multi-week assignments designed to recognize your skills and nurture your professional growth. While you care for others, you’ll also be invited to explore the beauty of New Mexico—sunset vistas over the Sandia foothills, the charm of Old Town, and miles of desert trails and cultural richness that invite balance, renewal, and a deeper sense of purpose after meaningful days in care settings. The allure of the Land of Enchantment lies not only in its landscapes but in the welcoming communities you’ll serve, where your presence makes a tangible difference in residents’ lives and families’ peace of mind.
Location benefits extend beyond a single city. Albuquerque offers a welcoming, community-focused environment with access to top-tier long-term care facilities, collaborative clinical teams, and opportunities to engage with residents who enrich every shift. The assignment presents the chance to immerse yourself in a renowned network of care in New Mexico, while also opening pathways to placements across the United States for those who crave broader clinical exposure. You’ll enjoy consistency with 36 guaranteed hours per week and the stability of a weekly pay range between $938 and $1,013, alongside housing support and the flexibility that comes with travel-based roles. For professionals who value variety, the prospect of working in diverse facilities—from rural to urban settings—can broaden your skill set, sharpen assessment acuity, and strengthen your ability to tailor care plans to individual needs while honoring family goals and cultural considerations. This opportunity balances the comfort of a stable schedule with the dynamic advantages of travel nursing, including exposure to different care models, regulatory environments, and interdisciplinary teams that span the country.
In this Long-Term Care LPN role, you’ll be at the forefront of essential nursing functions in geriatric and chronic care. Core responsibilities include administering medications and treatments accurately and safely, performing routine patient assessments, monitoring vital signs, and identifying changes in health status that require escalation. You’ll contribute to comprehensive care plans, implement wound care or skin integrity protocols, assist with activities of daily living, and support mobility and fall-prevention strategies. Documentation is meticulous, compliant with policy, and integrated with electronic health records to ensure seamless communication with RNs, physicians, therapists, social workers, and families. You’ll participate in interdisciplinary rounds, advocate for patient comfort and dignity, uphold infection control standards, and maintain a safe, therapeutic environment. The role also offers a clear pathway for professional growth: pursue geriatric specialization, expand skills in palliative or restorative nursing, and gain leadership opportunities through mentorship of new staff or charge nursing responsibilities on assigned units. A robust benefits package reinforces your commitment, including a competitive pay range, a bonus where applicable, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions with facilities that recognize your contributions.
Our company values a culture of empowerment and advancement. We are devoted to supporting you as you advance your career in long-term care, providing ongoing training, access to certifications, and a collaborative, respectful work environment. Staff well-being, work-life balance, and professional development are embedded in every assignment. You’ll find a responsive, 24/7 support system tailored to traveling professionals, ensuring you have guidance and assistance whenever you need it, across locations and shifts. This commitment to your success goes hand in hand with a focus on high-quality resident care and strong teamwork, fusing mission with practical support so you can grow confidently in your practice.

This is your chance to join a company that values your contribution, supports your development, and helps you build a rewarding career in long-term care—starting in Albuquerque, NM, with the possibility of expanding your horizons nationwide.
