Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

Saturday/Sunday Contract Agreement 7pm-7am

Work Wellbeing Score on Indeed: 83

This is not a routine nursing role. It is an opportunity to work where clinical skill meets human impact—where every interaction has the potential to stabilize, restore, and change the trajectory of a life.

We are seeking a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who is driven by purpose, grounded in compassion, and ready to deliver high-quality care in a behavioral health setting. In this role, you will be part of a team that operates with urgency, collaboration, and a deep commitment to helping children and families thrive.


Position Summary

The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) provides direct, compassionate nursing care within an inpatient psychiatric environment. This role is responsible for administering medications, monitoring patient health, documenting clinical data, and responding to urgent medical needs.

You will work alongside an interdisciplinary team to implement individualized care plans, support patients in daily living activities, and contribute to a safe, therapeutic, and inclusive environment. This position requires attention to detail, emotional intelligence, and the ability to act decisively in dynamic situations.


Minimum Requirements

  • Must be at least 20 years of age

  • Graduation from an accredited nursing program

  • Licensed as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in the state of Kansas

  • Valid Driver’s License and Auto Insurance

  • Three to six months of related experience or equivalent combination of education and training

Preferred:

  • Experience in behavioral health settings


What You Will Do

  • Administer medications using barcode scanning and monitor medication administration records

  • Review and implement provider orders accurately and promptly

  • Collect, document, and report patient data in the electronic health record (EHR)

  • Monitor vital signs, allergies, and patient responses to medications or treatments

  • Provide first aid and basic wound care within scope of practice

  • Coordinate appointments and communicate with pharmacy providers as needed

  • Assist with admissions, discharges, and care transitions

  • Support patients with activities of daily living including hygiene, nutrition, and mobility

  • Participate in treatment teams and contribute to individualized care planning

  • Lead or assist in hygiene and educational groups

  • Respond to crises using trained de-escalation techniques

  • Ensure compliance with HIPAA, infection control, and all regulatory standards

  • Maintain accurate, timely documentation before the end of each shift

  • Communicate effectively with guardians and care teams


Who You Are

  • You treat every individual with dignity and respect, regardless of background

  • You are solutions-focused and able to adapt in high-acuity environments

  • You communicate clearly, act with integrity, and follow through consistently

  • You bring both clinical competence and emotional awareness to your work

  • You are committed to continuous learning and professional growth


Our Culture and Expectations

Our work is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: helping people is at the heart of everything we do. We value authenticity, compassion, and the strength of family connections. We improve through collaboration, move with urgency, and embrace innovation. Diverse perspectives are not optional—they are essential.

Every team member is expected to model these values, build on strengths, and contribute to an environment where both patients and colleagues feel supported and respected.


Why This Role Matters

Behavioral health care is often where the need is greatest and the resources are stretched thin. In this role, your presence, your decisions, and your care directly influence patient outcomes during some of the most critical moments in their lives.

If you are looking for a role that challenges you, grows you, and gives your work real meaning, this is that opportunity.
