Additional duties include; preparing monthly physician orders and medication administration records, training staff (as needed), counsel individuals on their needs (sexuality, hygiene, medical and nutritional needs), provide first aid and treatment for individuals as needed and maintain medical related documentation. Days can be challenging and busy but also be filled with laughter, learning, and special moments!
What characteristics are you looking for in your LPN’s?
