Job Description – Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
Hospice of CNY is a growing agency seeking Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs). As a member of the interdisciplinary team, the LPN provides direct personal care for patients with a terminal diagnosis. Patient care primarily takes place within a patients’ home but may include residential settings such as skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and group homes. LPNs are responsible for providing nursing care in accordance with the plan of care under the supervision of the Primary Nurse.
Our LPNs primarily work Monday-Friday from 8-4:30 or 8:30-5:00 and rotate coverage for weekends – typically one time every 5-6 weeks. If you are seeking to improve your work-life balance, with minimal after hour or weekend coverage, becoming a Hospice LPN will meet that need!
This is a full-time salaried position scheduled from Monday through Friday with eligibility for insurance and benefits. This includes, but is not limited to medical, dental, and various supplemental insurance options, eligibility to participate in the company’s retirement plan fund, and paid time off.
