Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

AWARD-WINNING. EXCEPTIONAL PAY. ONE OF THE NATION'S BEST-STAFFED NURSING TEAMS.

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) — B-Shift: 6:00 PM – 6:00 AM | $35.09 – $40.86/hour

This isn't just a job. It's a place with a 185-year story and we want you to be a part of it.

Jackson County Medical Care Facility has been serving Jackson County for over 185 years. We are a 194-bed, county-owned skilled nursing facility with a simple mission: You are why we're here. The people we interact with every day — our residents, their families, and our CarePartners — are why we exist. A legacy is only as strong as the stories behind it. Let's continue yours together.

According to independent CMS data, JCMCF performs better than 94.2% of facilities nationwide in total nurse hours provided per resident and 95.3% nationwide in overall staffing. That is not luck. That is what happens when a team is connected to the mission.

We have been named one of America's Best Nursing Homes by Newsweek five years running, ranking in the top 20 in Michigan each year. We have also earned a U.S. News Best Nursing Homes 2025 designation and an AHCA Bronze Quality Award in 2023 and 2026.

Our residents say it best:
"Staff evolved into friends." — Susan
"Can't imagine getting better care anywhere else." — Neil
"I wouldn't recommend anywhere else — this place is the best!" — David

Our Core Values

At JCMCF, our core values aren't posted on a wall and forgotten. We Create a Positive Environment, Elevate Growth, Bring Joy, and Cultivate Comfort — for our residents, our families, and each other. We are looking for an LPN who leads with care, shows up for their team, and takes pride in the difference they make every shift.

• Create a Positive Environment — We greet, encourage, and show up for one another every day.
• Elevate Growth — We welcome change, recognize achievement, and invest in goals.
• Bring Joy! — We celebrate, laugh, and make it our mission to be the reason someone smiles today.
• Cultivate Comfort — We build a place that feels like home, where lasting relationships are the norm, not the exception.

About the Role

As an LPN at JCMCF, you will provide direct nursing care to our residents and supervise a team of Certified Nurse Assistants across your shift.

B-Shift runs 6:00 PM – 6:00 AM on a 12-hour schedule.
