This assignment offers a chance to deepen your skills in wound care, medication administration, charting, and care coordination while mentoring newer team members. And as you immerse yourself in Rio Rancho and the broader New Mexico landscape, you’ll discover the beauty of the Southwest—the sun-drenched mesas, the Sandia foothills, Santa Fe’s adobe charm, and the otherworldly allure of White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns—an inspiring backdrop for meaningful work. Rio Rancho blends small-town warmth with access to Albuquerque’s cultural amenities, outdoor recreation, and a thriving healthcare network.

Travel assignments offer exposure to diverse long-term care settings, from bustling urban facilities to quiet rural communities, each offering unique patient populations and practice challenges that sharpen your clinical judgment and adaptability. Your responsibilities include delivering comprehensive LPN care: monitoring residents’ conditions, administering medications and therapies as prescribed, performing wound care and daily treatments, assisting with activities of daily living, collecting specimens, documenting changes in condition, and communicating with RNs and physicians to coordinate care plans. You’ll engage in resident and family education, support falls prevention, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives. The role offers professional growth through on-site mentorship, cross-training opportunities, and potential pathways toward leadership roles within long-term care. We provide competitive compensation, including a weekly pay range of $991-$1,007, along with bonuses for exceptional performance and tenure.

At the core, our company is committed to empowering staff through transparent communication, ongoing education, and a culture of respect and collaboration. We value patient-centric care delivered with compassion, integrity, and teamwork, and we’re invested in your career advancement—whether that means expanding your scope, gaining leadership experience, or building a specialty track in long-term care. We strive to create a supportive work environment where every nurse can thrive, feel valued, and make a lasting difference in residents’ lives.
