LPN

Job Overview

This is a Licensed Practical Nurse role. You know what that means. It's hands on patient care, charting, and being the reliable link between patients, families, and the rest of the care team. This position is based in Pittsburgh, PA, and it's for someone who gets energy from helping people on a very basic, human level.

Some days are routine. Others throw you curveballs. That's just part of it.

Duties & Responsibilities

You'll handle a mix of clinical tasks and patient interaction. It's never just one thing.

• Taking vitals, updating charts, and administering medications as directed.
• Wound care and dressing changes are a regular part of the day.
• Your observations matter. Reporting changes in a patient's condition to an RN or physician is critical.
• Assisting patients with daily living activities; mobility, hygiene, eating.
• A big part of the job is listening. You're often the first person a patient or family member talks to when they're worried.
• Maintaining a clean, safe environment for everyone.

Requirements

A few non negotiables here. You need the right paperwork and the right mindset.

• A current, active LPN license for the state where Pittsburgh, PA is located.
• CPR certification that's up to date.
• Recent experience in a clinical setting is pretty important. A new grad might struggle with the pace here.
• A clear head under pressure. When things get busy, you can't freeze up.
• The physical side is real. You're on your feet, bending, lifting (with proper technique), and moving for most of your shift.
• A clean background check and any required immunizations are standard for these roles.

What It's Like In This Role

You'll work in a facility; think skilled nursing, assisted living, or maybe a clinic in Pittsburgh, PA. The specific setting varies by employer on our platform. You won't be alone; you're part of a unit with RNs, CNAs, and support staff. Communication is constant, sometimes hectic but always necessary.

The tools are what you'd expect: electronic health records systems, med carts, all the standard medical equipment. The schedule? It's healthcare. Expect shifts that could include evenings, nights, weekends, or holidays depending on the need. They'll talk specifics later in the process.
