Licensed Practical Nurse - Conway Medical Center

The LPN provides and documents direct nursing care of assigned patients under the supervision of a registered nurse or physician. Nursing care is guided by the physician orders and the nursing plan of care. Patient response to care is reported to a registered nurse for evaluation, intervention and modification of the plan of care, and LPN provides accurate and timely documentation of patient services to reflect the plan of care. The LPN assists physicians and other nursing personnel in the performance of various diagnostic procedures. Additionally, the LPN provides appropriate pain/symptom management, and evaluations of patient response to treatments/medications. The LPN performs functions as noted above and generally with an assigned patient load, but LPN is ready and willing to assist care partners with ANY nursing support function and across any case load including other neighborhoods, that may not be the normal primary work assignment.
