Description

Embark on a meaningful journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long‐Term Care in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This opportunity invites you to deliver compassionate, patient‐centered care that improves daily lives while building lasting relationships with residents, families, and teammates. In this role you'll blend clinical skill with advocacy, guiding care plans, monitoring chronic and acute conditions, managing medications, and empowering residents to maintain dignity, independence, and comfort. Picture the unique charm of Santa Fe—the sun‐kissed landscapes, adobe architecture, thriving arts scene, and a community that prizes wellness, connection, and resilience. Beyond Santa Fe, you'll have the chance to work across the United States, experiencing a spectrum of facilities and populations that broaden your clinical perspective while strengthening your expertise in long‐term care and geriatric nursing. This is more than a job; it's an opportunity to shape daily living for seniors and to grow as a trusted clinician and mentor within a supportive network.
Location Benefits: Santa Fe offers a distinctive blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and a restorative pace that aligns with careful, thoughtful nursing. Enjoy mild winters, expansive blue skies, and access to hiking, parks, and scenic drives that invite you to recharge after demanding shifts. The city's historic charm, galleries, and vibrant flavors create a stimulating backdrop for personal well‐being and professional pride. If you welcome variety, the program also opens doors to placements at other reputable facilities nationwide, allowing you to learn from different care models, collaborate with diverse teams, and cultivate adaptability. This flexibility not only expands your clinical toolkit but also enriches your lived experience—whether you're supporting memory care, post‐acute transitions, respite services, or long‐term housing arrangements, you'll encounter nuanced patient needs and creative approaches to improving quality of life. In addition, you'll operate within a network that prioritizes safety, evidence‐based practice, and respectful, person‐centered care, all while enjoying the advantages of a balanced schedule and robust professional development opportunities in a region renowned for outdoor recreation, culture, and warm community ties.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Long‐Term Care Licensed Practical Nurse, you will be responsible for assessing residents' conditions, administering medications, assisting with activities of daily living, monitoring vital signs, managing wounds and skin integrity, and supporting nutrition and hydration plans. You will contribute to comprehensive care plans, document accurately in electronic medical records, coordinate with physicians, therapists, social workers, and family members, and respond promptly to changes in health status. Your leadership and careful communication will help guide unlicensed care teammates, and you'll have opportunities to expand into charge‐nurse responsibilities, mentorship roles, or specialty pathways within geriatrics. This position emphasizes professional growth within the long‐term care specialty: you'll access continuing education resources, participate in quality improvement initiatives, and gain exposure to interdisciplinary collaboration that strengthens clinical judgment and care coordination. Competitive benefits include a sign‐on or performance bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing costs, and potential extension opportunities that align with your career goals.

The program also provides extensive support to traveling clinicians: 24/7 assistance from dedicated travel coordinators, clinical nurses on call, onboarding and orientation, and access to safety and well‐being resources throughout the assignment. You'll be integrated into a culture that values precision, empathy, and continuous improvement, ensuring you have the tools and backing to deliver compassionate care with confidence.
