Act as a member of the healthcare team by exercising sound nursing judgment based on preparation, knowledge, experience in nursing and competency and able to provide care following UPMC LPN Practice Guidelines and policies, and the State Board Regulations.

Responsibilities:
The individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to provide care and/or interact appropriately with the ages of the patients served by his/her assigned unit as specified below.
They must also demonstrate knowledge of the principles of growth and development over the life span and possess the ability to assess data reflective of the patient's status and interpret the appropriate information needed to identify each patient's requirements relative to his/her age-specific needs and to provide the care needs as described in the department policy and procedures.

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.
A licensed practical nurse whose license has lapsed for 5 years or longer or has been placed on inactive status for 5 years or longer, as permitted in section 13.1(b) of the act (63 P.S b)), may reactivate the license by following the state guidelines and would not be eligible to hire into an LPN role until that time.
