Working under the direction of a registered nurse and in coordination with each client's physician, you will carry out individualized care plans and monitor the ongoing health of the clients you serve. You will be a steady, trusted presence in the home, balancing hands-on clinical skill with the warmth and patience that home care demands. Your observations and documentation help the broader care team respond quickly to changes in a client's condition.

• Assist clients with activities of daily living when clinical needs intersect with personal care.
• Educate clients and family members on medication regimens, disease management, and safe practices in the home.
• Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant clinical records for each visit.
• Communicate consistently with the care team to ensure continuity and quality of care.
• Observe infection control standards and uphold client privacy and confidentiality at all times.

Qualifications

• Current, unrestricted Licensed Practical Nurse license valid in the state of North Dakota.
• Completion of an accredited practical nursing program.
• Current CPR certification.
• Prior experience in home health, long-term care, or a comparable clinical setting is preferred.
• Working knowledge of the LPN scope of practice and applicable clinical documentation standards.
• Strong assessment and observation skills, with sound clinical judgment.
• Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license for travel to client homes across the Grand Forks area.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to build trusting relationships with clients and families.
• Ability to work independently in the home while remaining connected to the supervising care team.

This position suits a nurse who finds meaning in one-on-one care and who values the opportunity to make a measurable difference in a person's quality of life. Each visit is a chance to bring reassurance and skilled support to someone who needs it most.
