Licensed Practical Nurse - Pediatrics

Licensed Practical Nurse Pediatrics

As a Pediatric LPN at Phoenix Indian Medical Center, you will provide direct nursing care to pediatric patients in an outpatient clinic setting. You will work alongside physicians, nurse practitioners, and a multidisciplinary team to deliver well-child exams, immunizations, patient education, vital sign monitoring, and care coordination for Native American children and adolescents. This is a meaningful role where your compassion and clinical skills directly improve the health of an underserved community.

Since this is an IHS facility, a license in Arizona is NOT required.
