The unit also serves patient populations requiring telemetry or oxygen monitoring.

LPNs act as a member of the health-care team by exercising sound nursing judgment based on preparation, knowledge, experience in nursing and competency and able to provide care and IV therapy following UPMC LPN Practice Guidelines and policies, and the State Board Regulations. The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) participates in the planning, implementation and evaluation of nursing care using focused assessment in settings where nursing takes place under the direction of a Registered Nurse or other licensed UPMC provider. In this role, the LPN must take nurse assignment at the top of their license in a med surg setting.

Responsibilities:

* Collaborate with licensed professional nurses and healthcare team members for guidance when care needs exceed LPN scope or competency, or when a patient's condition changes significantly.

* Communicate patient conditions to other caregivers and ensure comprehensive documentation to enhance care coordination.
* Integrate national professional standards with health system goals to improve patient safety, quality, and satisfaction.
* Foster a compassionate, patient-focused experience by building strong relationships with patients, families, and colleagues.
* Actively engage in unit activities, support new LPNs, and provide patient education throughout the care journey.
* Seek feedback for continuous professional improvement and identify opportunities for clinical quality and workplace enhancement.
* Collaborate with the healthcare team to achieve optimal patient outcomes while maintaining a balance between work and personal life.
* Address safety hazards and promote a healthy work environment.

Qualifications:

* Education: Graduation from a State Board of Nursing-approved Licensed Practical Nursing Program.
* Experience: 0-2 years of nursing experience.
* IV Therapy: Completion of an IV therapy curriculum within 4 months of hire/transfer. Graduates from 2012 onward have this included in their program; those who graduated before 2012 must provide proof of completion of an approved IV therapy program.
* Clinical Setting: Must accept assignments in med/surg, telemetry, or emergency department settings.
* Age-Specific Care: Ability to demonstrate knowledge of growth and development principles and provide appropriate care based on age-specific needs.
* Collaboration: Skilled in identifying process improvement opportunities and collaborating with healthcare teams, patients, and families to achieve optimal outcomes.
* Interpersonal Skills: Ability to establish positive relationships with executives, managers, physicians, and support staff.
* Adaptability: Capable of working effectively in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities and specialized equipment.
* Physical Requirements: Must have mobility and visual manual dexterity, along with the stamina for frequent walking, standing, lifting, and positioning of patients.
* Technical Skills: Proficient in using electronic health records.

Licensure, Certifications, and Clearances:

* LPN must maintain state licensure where they are practicing or in a state covered by a licensure compact agreement with the state where the facility is located.
* If graduated prior to 2012, the LPN will need to provide official proof of completion of IV therapy approved program within 4 months of hire/transfer.
* Basic Life Support (BLS) OR Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

* Current licensure either in the state where the facility is located or, if the facility is in a state covered by the multistate Nursing Licensure Compact (NLC) agreement, a multistate license issued by a participating NLC state. Hires and current employees working on an out-of-state NLC license who later change their residency to the state where the facility is also located will have 60 days upon changing their residency to apply for licensure within that state.
