Job Description

HealthCARE Express is looking for a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to join our team! We are a fast-paced, growing healthcare organization that takes patient care seriously while still creating a workplace where people can enjoy coming to work.

Our culture includes monthly themed dress-up days, opportunities for personal and professional development, and a strong focus on growing future leaders. If you are passionate about caring for patients and want to work for a supportive, forward-thinking company, we would love to hear from you.

As an LPN with HealthCARE Express, you will play an active role in hands-on patient care and daily clinical operations. Duties include obtaining and documenting vital signs such as temperature, heart rate, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, and weight. You will also insert saline locks and perform both basic and advanced cardiac life support.

Clinical responsibilities include applying sterile dressings, removing sutures and staples, assisting with pelvic examinations, performing EKGs, cleansing and irrigating wounds, administering oral medications, and applying splints. Splinting may include volar, thumb Spica, ulnar gutter, and posterior leg splints.

You will initiate routine laboratory testing, collect mucous membrane swabs for cultures, administer and read TB skin tests, perform venipuncture, and administer medications through intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, and intradermal routes.

Team members must be willing to cross-train and assist with responsibilities outside their usual scope when needed. This position also requires consistently demonstrating and acting in accordance with our organization's values, along with completing other duties that support the vision and mission of HealthCARE Express.

• Full-time position
• $26 per hour
• 12-hour shifts from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM

HealthCARE Express offers a range of benefits designed to support team members and their families. Available coverage includes health insurance for general medical needs, dental insurance for oral care, and vision insurance for eye care.

Additional benefits include life insurance, short-term disability insurance for temporary work absences related to illness or injury; and long-term disability insurance for extended periods of disability.

We also offer accident insurance to help with costs related to accidental injuries and critical illness insurance to assist with expenses associated with severe health conditions. Benefit time off is available for personal leave, and bereavement leave provides time away when dealing with the loss of a loved one.

We believe in investing in our nursing team and helping employees continue to grow. Through the HealthCARE Express Nursing Scholarship Program, eligible team members have opportunities twice each year to receive financial assistance while continuing their education and advancing their careers.

X-ray certification is required for this position and will be completed during the orientation process after hire. HealthCARE Express fully pays for the course, and successful completion results in an automatic pay increase.
