Travel Licensed Practical Nurse Long-Term Care Job

Step into a rewarding role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, where every shift matters and your expertise helps residents live with dignity, comfort, and independence. In Santa Fe, New Mexico, you'll combine clinical precision with heartfelt care, guiding seniors through daily routines, pain management, medication administration within scope, and thoughtful assistance that preserves their autonomy. This multi-week travel opportunity begins on 12 / 02 / 2025, with a weekly pay range of $1,124-$1,218 and the chance to impact countless lives across diverse facilities. While you answer the call to care, you'll also be immersed in the beauty of the Southwest-stunning sunsets over the high desert, the glow of adobe architecture, and easy access to mountain trails and cultural events that enrich every shift and your days off.

Nestled in the heart of the Southwest, Santa Fe offers a unique blend of mountains, art, cuisine, and open spaces that recharge you after a rewarding day. Work in facilities that prize person-centered care, where family involvement and resident advocacy are everyday priorities. Santa Fe's distinctive climate and scenery create an inspiring backdrop for recovery, restorative therapies, and preventive care. Separately, the opportunity to work in various locations across the U.S. means you can expand your professional horizons, experience different care models, and build a versatile portfolio of geriatric nursing expertise. Expect access to reliable housing options and dedicated travel support, so you can focus on delivering exceptional care. The region's rich history, festivals, and outdoor communities offer enriching experiences outside the workplace, from serene trails to vibrant plazas, ensuring a balanced, fulfilling travel assignment.

In this role, you'll translate clinical knowledge into compassionate, day-to-day care for residents in long-term care settings. Your responsibilities include monitoring and recording vital signs, assessing resident conditions, administering medications according to state guidelines and facility policies, wound care and skin integrity management, and assisting with activities of daily living. You'll collaborate with RNs, physicians, and interdisciplinary teams to update care plans, document changes, implement evidence-based practices, and ensure safety and comfort. You'll also play a key role in fall prevention, infection control, and timely reporting of changes in condition. There is ample room for professional growth : you can expand your skills in geriatric assessment, pursue certifications in wound care or palliative care, take on leadership or preceptor roles, and contribute to staff development programs. The position emphasizes mentorship and continuous learning, with access to training resources and support for specialty interests within long-term care. You'll benefit from competitive compensation and a comprehensive package designed to help you grow-this includes a sign-on bonus where available, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend assignments with preferred facilities.

This travel-focused role is underpinned by robust support and clear pathways for advancement. Our company is dedicated to empowering its nursing staff, fostering a culture of respect, open communication, and ongoing professional development. You'll have access to 24 / 7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you're never navigating a challenge alone. A structured orientation and ongoing clinical mentorship are designed to help you quickly acclimate to new teams and care environments, while flexible scheduling supports work-life balance as you explore new communities. Extension opportunities let you deepen your impact in facilities where you've built strong patient relationships, while additional training aligns with your career goals-whether that means expanding into supervisory roles, specialty clinics within geriatrics, or practice leadership. This is more than a job; it's a pathway to advancing your career in a supportive, values-driven organization.

If you're ready to make a meaningful difference for residents and their families, we invite you to apply and join a team that prioritizes your contributions and professional growth. This opportunity is ideal for proactive, compassionate LPNs who excel in collaborative settings and want to broaden their experience across different long-term care environments in the United States. Start date is 12 / 02 / 2025 for a multi-week assignment, with weekly pay between $1,124 and $1,218 and guaranteed hours listed as 0.0. We'll provide comprehensive travel logistics, housing support, and the resources you need to succeed from day one.
