Licensed Practical Nurse - UI Health Care General Pediatric Clinics and Pediatric Healthy Weight Clinic 50-100%25 (Multiple Openings)
About The Position
The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) works under the direct supervision of a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or registered nurse in an ambulatory setting. The role performs technical patient-care duties and related clerical functions, which may involve electronic word or data processing equipment and conventional office equipment. Positions primarily support the North Dodge/Holiday Road General Pediatrics Clinics or the North Dodge Pediatric Healthy Weight Clinic, with possible floating to other specialties or clinic locations based on clinical needs.
