Genesis - West Region - Rhb Ctr of Albuquerq
Mid Level
Step into a meaningful role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every day offers a chance to enrich the lives of residents and their families. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, you will blend clinical rigor with compassionate guidance, helping residents maintain dignity through meticulous medication administration, vigilant monitoring, chronic disease management, wound care, and thoughtful daily support. You’ll collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to implement and refine care plans, advocate for resident choices, and champion safety, comfort, and quality of life. This weeks-long assignment begins on 03/18/2026 and places you in a network built to sustain your professional momentum. Beyond the bedside, you’ll witness a state that rewards exploration—sun-drenched days, the rugged beauty of the Sandia Mountains, vibrant Old Town, and outdoor adventures from hiking trails to balloon fiestas—creating a healthy rhythm between demanding work and a rich, balanced life outside the facility.

Location benefits extend beyond the city limits. Albuquerque offers a thriving health ecosystem, a welcoming community, and a rich blend of culture, cuisine, and outdoor recreation that rejuvenates the spirit after a demanding shift. Within this assignment, you’ll enjoy the unique advantages of working in a dynamic Southwestern city renowned for its warmth, accessible healthcare networks, and opportunities for professional connection. If you choose, the program also presents the chance to rotate through diverse locations across the United States, broadening your experience with varied facilities, patient populations, and care models. Such exposure strengthens clinical decision-making, enhances communication with families and teams, and broadens career horizons, all while maintaining the core focus on compassionate LTC nursing.

Role specifics and benefits are designed with your growth in mind. As the LPN in Long-Term Care, you will perform comprehensive residents’ assessments under supervision, administer therapies and medications with accuracy, monitor symptoms, assist with activities of daily living, and support mobility and fall prevention strategies. You’ll contribute to care plans, document clearly and timely, and report changes to the supervising RN or physician. The position offers significant professional growth within long-term care—opportunities to assume charge nursing responsibilities, mentor CNAs, or lead initiative work around wound care, pain management, or diabetes education. The package includes competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $780-$841, guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, and a weeks-long contract with possible extensions. You’ll also receive housing assistance and a bonus program, easing transition and supporting long-term commitment. The program prioritizes your success with 24/7 support while traveling with the company, including travel logistics, onboarding, and real-time assistance whenever you need it. Expect comprehensive onboarding, safety training, and ongoing professional development designed to elevate your LTC expertise and patient outcomes.

The company’s values center on empowerment, respect, and advancement. We are dedicated to creating a work environment where you feel supported, heard, and equipped to grow. Your career won’t stall here; you’ll have access to mentorship, continuing education opportunities, and pathways to leadership roles within the LTC specialty. A culture of collaboration, recognition, and accountability underpins daily practice, ensuring your contributions are valued and your professional development is a priority.

Ready to make a lasting impact while expanding your clinical repertoire? Apply now to join a team that values your expertise, respects your time, and invests in your future. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to advance your LTC career on a national stage, with the stability of guaranteed hours, meaningful patient ties, and a supportive network at every turn. If you’re driven to deliver high-quality, person-centered care and eager to explore new settings, seize this opportunity in Albuquerque and beyond.
