The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) plays a vital role in patient care by contributing to the nursing process of assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Under the supervision of RN(s), the LPN provides direction and guidance in patient education and activities aligned with their education and demonstrated competencies.

• Under RN supervision, assess patients' physical, psychological, and social dimensions in the Health Care Unit and housing units, contributing to individualized treatment planning and consulting with RNs and staff as needed.
• Implement treatment programs directed by Health Care Practitioners, administer medications (including IV therapy if certified), and perform diagnostic tests according to established protocols and procedures.
• Collaborate in controlled substance counts at the beginning of each shift, adhere to safety techniques and standard precautions, and respond to codes or health emergencies within standard guidelines.
• Assist in medical or minor surgical procedures, implement nutrition and therapeutic diet plans, and document nursing encounters using SOAP charting, ensuring effective communication with nursing staff, physicians, and other relevant personnel.
• Attend mandatory staff meetings and training sessions, demonstrating a commitment to continuous professional development and adherence to policies and procedures in providing high-quality patient care.
