1d•$23 - $25•Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to join our assisted living team in a primarily weekday, daytime role focused on resident-centered care and strong collaboration. This position operates under the supervision and guidance of an experienced Registered Nurse (RN), in accordance with Minnesota Assisted Living Licensure requirements (Minn. Stat. Chapter 144G). As part of a supportive, team-based care environment, the LPN plays a key role in medication management, monitoring resident health needs, contributing to care planning, and serving as a clinical resource for team members. This position includes participation in a shared on-call rotation. Most on-call situations involve providing clinical guidance and support by phone to on-site staff, with in-person responses uncommon. The rotation is designed to be reasonable, well supported, and includes additional compensation for on-call responsibilities. This is an excellent opportunity for an LPN seeking a supportive work environment, strong teamwork, predictable scheduling, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in an assisted living setting.
