Step into a vital, people-centered role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift offers the chance to shape the daily lives of residents with compassion, respect, and clinical excellence. Based in Gallup, New Mexico, this opportunity invites you to apply your practical expertise to a setting that blends intimate patient interaction with the rewarding rhythm of a collaborative care team. As you deliver thoughtful care—from medication administration to daily living assistance—you’ll witness the meaningful difference LPNs make in promoting comfort, dignity, and independence for seniors and adults who rely on steady, trusted care. This assignment not only means professional impact but also personal growth, as you gain deeper experience in geriatric care, care planning under RN supervision, and variations in patient needs across a long-term care continuum. Gallup’s sunlit skies and serene desert landscapes provide a refreshing backdrop for purpose-driven work, while you connect with a community known for warmth, culture, and outdoor possibilities. And for those with a curious spirit, the program also presents the exciting prospect of assignments across diverse locations in the United States, enabling you to broaden your clinical horizons while enriching your professional network.

Location benefits extend beyond the clinical setting. Gallup sits in western New Mexico, offering a welcoming, approachable community with affordable living, abundant sunshine, and easy access to the great outdoors. When you’re not caring for residents, you’ll have opportunities to explore regional parks, Canyon Country vistas, and nearby cultural events that celebrate Native American art and history. The surrounding landscape inspires resilience and balance, helping you recharge for each new shift. The broader option to work in various U.S. locations adds vibrancy to your career, exposing you to different facility cultures, patient populations, and care models, all while maintaining a strong support network through the company.

Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your nursing practice and your career trajectory. As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll contribute to comprehensive care plans, monitor resident health, perform routine treatments, manage medications under supervision, assist with activities of daily living, and document changes and outcomes in electronic medical records. You’ll participate in unit rounds, collaborate with RNs and CNAs, and engage families with clear, compassionate communication. The position offers substantial room for professional growth within geriatric and long-term care specialties, with access to ongoing training, competencies, and mentorship that empower you to expand your scope of practice. Benefits are designed to be competitive and supportive: a robust compensation package with weekly pay ranging from $977 to $1,042, a completion or sign-on bonus to recognize your commitment, housing assistance to ease relocation or lodging needs, and clear opportunities for contract extensions if you wish to continue your experience beyond the initial weeks. You’ll also enjoy comprehensive travel support, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated team as you travel with the company, ensuring you’re never alone on the road or on site. The assignment is structured with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, and you’ll enter the role with a clear start date of 03/02/2026 and a contracted duration measured in weeks, with potential extension based on program needs and performance. This setup respects your time, skills, and desired pace while delivering meaningful, hands-on practice that strengthens your nursing imprint in long-term care.

Company values center on empowering staff, supporting career advancement, and fostering a collaborative, respectful work environment. The organization is committed to helping you grow—whether through specialized training in dementia care, wound care, palliative approaches, or leadership opportunities within care teams. You’ll be part of a culture that recognizes your contribution, provides reliable resources, and champions a positive, inclusive workplace where experienced clinicians mentor newer teammates and colleagues learn from one another’s strengths.
