Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

Southwest Health System, Inc. • Mancos, CO

12d • $20 - $30 • Onsite

About The Position

As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in our Mancos clinic, you’ll help keep patient care moving fast, safe, and seamless—supporting providers while protecting every patient’s comfort and confidentiality. You’ll contribute to assessment, care planning, medication administration, specimen collection/venipuncture, injections, sterile technique, EMR documentation, patient education, lab/diagnostic follow-up, appointment coordination, refill processing, and emergency readiness—while meeting OSHA, safety, and documentation standards. Your day as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is a high-energy rhythm of patient flow and teamwork: you greet and room patients, capture vitals, and help them feel at ease before the provider steps in. Between visits, you keep charts crisp in the EMR, relay results when they’re ready, and help translate next steps into clear, reassuring language. You’ll pivot from procedure support to quick coordination—lining up referrals, prepping rooms, and keeping supplies organized and instruments ready. Throughout the day, you stay alert to safety checks (like temperatures and emergency equipment) so the clinic runs confidently, smoothly, and on time.
