About The Position

This is not a routine nursing role. It is an opportunity to work where clinical skill meets human impact—where every interaction has the potential to stabilize, restore, and change the trajectory of a life. We are seeking a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who is driven by purpose, grounded in compassion, and ready to deliver high-quality care in a behavioral health setting. In this role, you will be part of a team that operates with urgency, collaboration, and a deep commitment to helping children and families thrive. The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) provides direct, compassionate nursing care within an inpatient psychiatric environment. This role is responsible for administering medications, monitoring patient health, documenting clinical data, and responding to urgent medical needs. You will work alongside an interdisciplinary team to implement individualized care plans, support patients in daily living activities, and contribute to a safe, therapeutic, and inclusive environment. This position requires attention to detail, emotional intelligence, and the ability to act decisively in dynamic situations.
