Travel Licensed Practical Nurse Long-Term Care Job

Job Description

Job DescriptionEmbark on a rewarding journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where your expertise and empathy become a lifeline for residents who rely on compassionate, consistent care. This opportunity places you at the forefront of patient-centered support, delivering hands-on nursing, careful coordination with interdisciplinary teams, and thoughtful attention to comfort, safety, and dignity. You’ll play a pivotal role in assessing needs, administering medications, monitoring chronic conditions, and implementing care plans that promote independence and well-being. This contract begins on 02/11/2026 for a several-week engagement, offering a transparent pathway to ongoing engagement for dedicated professionals who thrive in dynamic, resident-focused environments. The weekly pay range of $846-$887 reflects the value of your skills, and the package can include a bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities that recognize your commitment and reliability. More than just numbers, this assignment is about joining a community where your contributions matter each shift, where your clinical judgment is respected, and where you can grow through hands-on leadership, mentorship, and exposure to a broad spectrum of geriatric and long-term care needs.

New Mexico’s unique landscape adds a compelling layer to your professional experience. Albuquerque offers a vibrant blend of cultural richness, modern amenities, and easy access to outdoor adventures. You’ll be immersed in a city that melds dynamic urban life with the natural beauty of nearby Sandia Mountains and sprawling desert vistas. The region’s climate and pace provide a balanced backdrop for focused patient care, teamwork, and meaningful interactions with residents and families. The state itself rewards exploration: from red rock landscapes and the dramatic horizons of the high desert to the serene foothills and historic towns that dot the map. There are abundant opportunities to experience the area’s art, music, cuisine, and outdoor recreation, making every assignment both professionally rewarding and personally enriching. And because this program is designed with mobility in mind, you’ll have the potential to work across diverse locations within the U.S., broadening your professional horizon while staying grounded in the Albuquerque community you’ll serve.

Role specifics and benefits come together to form a comprehensive, supportive framework for your day-to-day practice. As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll assume responsibilities that include direct patient care, medication administration, routine vitals assessment, wound care, monitoring chronic conditions, and assisting residents with activities of daily living. You’ll participate in care planning, contribute to seamless transitions between care levels, and document outcomes with precision to support quality improvement initiatives. You’ll act as a critical link between residents, families, and the broader care team, communicating changes, concerns, and successes with clarity and compassion. This position emphasizes professional growth within geriatrics and long-term care, providing exposure to complex health needs, sedation and pain management oversight, mobility support, fall prevention strategies, and literacy in regulatory compliance and documentation standards. Complementing clinical duties, you’ll have access to development opportunities, including skill-building in wound care, infection control, palliative care principles, and geriatric assessment tools. The package emphasizes competitive benefits, including a sign-on or performance bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities that enable sustained impact and continuity of care for residents who rely on consistent staffing. A cornerstone of the experience is the company’s 24/7 support system for traveling clinicians, ensuring you have dependable guidance, crisis response, and administrative assistance whenever you need it, so you can focus on delivering high-quality care with confidence. You’ll collaborate with a team that values initiative, reliability, and continuous improvement, while standardizing practices that uphold safety, dignity, and person-centered care.

The company’s values center on empowering staff to advance within the profession and to influence care standards across communities. This is a place where mentorship, constructive feedback, and clear pathways for career development are part of the everyday experience. You’ll find a culture that celebrates nursing expertise, respects diverse perspectives, and fosters a supportive environment where questions, new ideas, and professional aspirations are welcomed. Training and orientation emphasize both clinical excellence and compassionate care, and ongoing education is supported through resources and reimbursement opportunities. Mobility and variety are recognized as engines of growth, with a framework that balances clinical autonomy with collaborative teamwork, enabling you to enhance your skill set while contributing to a culture of safety, respect, and excellence in resident care.

If you’re ready to apply your nursing expertise to improve daily life for residents in long-term care, this is your invitation to join a purpose-driven team. The role offers meaningful patient interactions, steady professional development, and the satisfaction of guiding residents through their daily routines with dignity and independence.
