SGA H. Care Staffing LLC is a leading healthcare staffing firm looking to identify LPNS for great facilities right in your backyard. We are a staffing agency that cares about our people and our partners so if you have the same philosophy, let's connect.

A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) provides direct care to patients and is a critical part of a healthcare team. An LPN usually assists a Registered Nurse (RN) and often oversees one or more Certified Nursing Assistant(s) (CNA) to carry out care plans and maintain patient comfort and well-being. LPNs take on a direct role in providing personal care to those in their charge, often assisting with all areas of the patient's daily living needs. This enables LPNs to have a hands-on understanding of the care needed and offers the ability to make a positive impact on health outcomes.

Responsibilities may include:

• Monitor patient's vitals and record them in their file.
• Maintain the cleanliness and comfort of each patient, including bathing, feeding, and dressing.
• Assist nursing and medical staff with basic medical tasks, such as administering medication.
• Update patient records in a confidential manner.
• Evaluate the patient's well-being, reporting any needs to medical staff.
• Explain treatments and procedures to patients and families.
• Change dressings and bandages, ensuring patients are healing properly.
• Move patients from wheelchairs, beds, and gurneys.
