Travel Licensed Practical Nurse Long-Term Care Job

Job Description

Job DescriptionStep into a rewarding role as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, where your hands-on care and compassionate presence will enrich the lives of residents in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This multi-week assignment, beginning on 02/09/2026, invites you to bring clinical excellence, steady presence, and a patient-first mindset to a community that values dignity, comfort, and continuity of care. You’ll be part of a dedicated team that understands the fundamentals of geriatric and chronic illness management, delivering clear communication, thoughtful assessments, and a reassuring touch that makes every day safer and more meaningful for residents and families alike. Imagine the impact of building trusting relationships, guiding care plans, and empowering teammates to deliver consistent, high-quality care in a setting that respects each resident’s history and preferences.

Santa Fe’s unique setting adds a layer of inspiration to your daily work. From sunlit mornings over the Sangre de Cristo foothills to vibrant cultural scenes that celebrate Pueblo, Hispano, and Western traditions, the city offers beauty that complements the care you provide. You’ll have access to the state’s distinctive arts, outdoor adventures, and a community that values wellness, making your time outside of work as enriching as your professional contribution. The assignment also opens opportunities to work across various locations within the United States through the same trusted travel program, offering broader exposure to different facility cultures, patient populations, and care models while keeping a consistent framework of support and safety.

In this role, you’ll perform the core responsibilities of an LPN in a long‑term care environment with an emphasis on continuity, safety, and individualized care. You will administer medications, monitor vital signs, assist with activities of daily living, manage wound care, and participate in or lead care planning under established protocols. You’ll collaborate with registered nurses, physicians, therapists, and certified nursing assistants to ensure timely interventions, accurate documentation, and rigorous adherence to regulatory standards. Your duties will include accurate MAR charting, administering approved treatments, recognizing early signs of decline, and communicating changes to the care team and families with empathy and clarity. The position invites growth: you’ll have opportunities to expand expertise in chronic disease management, palliative and restorative care, wound prevention and healing, falls prevention, and infection control, with pathways to enhanced responsibilities and specialty certifications as you demonstrate leadership and clinical judgment.

The program emphasizes competitive benefits designed to support you from orientation through daily practice. You’ll receive a weekly pay range of $1,423 to $1,470, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week during the multi-week assignment, providing financial predictability and stability as you plan your schedule. In addition to compensation, you may be eligible for a distinguished sign-on bonus, housing assistance or housing options, and potential extension opportunities that allow you to continue making a difference in ongoing assignments. You’ll gain peace of mind from comprehensive support that remains available around the clock, with 24/7 travel and clinical support through the company to help you navigate any challenge, whether clinical, logistical, or personal. The combination of reliable pay, stable hours, and robust support creates an environment where you can focus on clinical excellence and meaningful resident interactions.

Our approach to staffing centers on empowering you. The company is dedicated to fostering a culture where your clinical voice is heard, your professional development is encouraged, and your work environment supports advancement. You’ll find teammates who value collaboration, celebrate compassionate care, and provide mentorship as you progress through your career in long‑term care.
