Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Key responsibilities and clinical focus: As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you will conduct comprehensive resident assessments, monitor vital signs, administer medications, support wound care and ostomy needs, and implement individualized care plans under the supervision of a registered nurse. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, manage chronic disease symptoms, participate in restorative nursing, and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to optimize nutrition, mobility, skin integrity, and falls prevention. Documentation accuracy, timely communication with families and physicians, and adherence to regulatory standards are essential. You’ll also mentor and supervise certified nursing assistants, reinforce infection control practices, and contribute to a compassionate, predictable routine that fosters safety, dignity, and engagement for residents with diverse cognitive and physical needs.
- Growth and professional development: This assignment is designed to nurture growth within long‑term care.
