Cynet Health • Halifax, Nova Scotia • $52 / hour • 4d ago

LPN / LVN - LTC

Profession: Licensed Practical Nurse

Specialty: Licensed Practical Nurse

Duration: 15 weeks

Shift: 4/11.25

Hours per Shift: 11.25

Experience: Minimum years of experience required

License: Licensed Practical Nurse license

Certifications: Relevant certifications as applicable

Must-Have: Competence in IV initiation and IV medication administration (check with Charge Nurse for approved practice area)

Description: We need a Licensed Practical Nurse for a long-term care facility. Accommodation will be provided. Within their scope of practice and in collaboration with patients and the health care team, the LPN is responsible for providing care for patients with defined health challenges and predictable outcomes. As the acuity or complexity increases and/or outcomes are not predictable, the LPN, under the supervision of the RN, provides nursing interventions within their scope of practice. The RN retains accountability for the assignment and/or delegation of patient care activities to the LPN, but the LPN is accountable for individual actions or practices. The LPN complies with documentation processes. Note: IV initiation and IV medication administration are entry-level competencies in the LPN curriculum. Currently, these skills are not performed in all practice areas. External staff with these competencies must check with the Charge Nurse on each unit to see if they are approved for that practice area and what drugs are approved for administration by LPNs.
