LPN Licensed Practical Nurses - 3rd Shift
About The Position
Imagine being part of a team where your care truly transforms lives — not in a rushed clinical environment, but in a supportive community where you can connect 1:1 with the people you serve. At LARC, you’ll have the opportunity to slow down, build meaningful relationships, and bring your skills to a place where every interaction matters. As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), you’ll provide compassionate, individualized care to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in home and community-based settings. You’ll work alongside a dedicated team that values empathy, respect, and empowerment — all while enjoying a more balanced, fulfilling pace. Provide exceptional nursing care and oversight by implementing health care plans, charting vital signs, and administering medications as prescribed by physicians. Support individuals in their daily routines, offering personal care and health guidance as outlined in each Individual Support Plan (ISP). Build long-term, trusting relationships with the individuals you support and their families. Collaborate with other healthcare professionals, guardians, and team members to ensure holistic, person-centered care. Accompany individuals on community outings — enjoy activities like picnics, movies, bowling, or dining out as part of LARC’s vision of “community for all.” This is more than nursing — it’s caring with purpose, forming bonds that enrich lives, including your own. Join LARC, where compassion meets community and where you can bring your nursing expertise to a place that feels like home. Rediscover why you became a nurse — to care, connect, and create lasting impact.
