POSITION SUMMARY:

Healing Harmony: Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

$23.33 - $30.33 (LPN license)

Join the Lifeline of Harrisonburg's Cherished Senior Retreat

Nestled in the verdant embrace of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community (VMRC) transcends a mere workplace—it's a Christ-centered tapestry of compassion, where every heartbeat aligns with our Anabaptist legacy of stewardship, service, and profound empathy. Our sprawling 150+ acre sanctuary in Harrisonburg, VA, teems with vitality: assisted living enclaves like Crestwood, memory care havens, and wellness paths that echo residents' storied lives. As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), you'll be the gentle architect of health, empowering elders and resilient spirits who've navigated life's tempests to flourish with dignity and delight. Visualize administering a precise dose at twilight, witnessing a resident's tension melt into tranquil repose, their thanks a soft murmur that lingers. That resonant hum? It's the cadence of contribution, subtly summoning you to a circle where your skills sustain souls. Sense the draw? It's the quiet insistence of destiny, inviting you to anchor here, where care crafts eternity.

What You'll Do: Orchestrate Care, Spark Everyday Miracles

In this fulfilling full-time, part-time, or PRN role (flexing across days, evenings, and nights with every-other-weekend rhythms), you'll collaborate in our skilled nursing and assisted living neighborhoods, blending clinical acumen with heartfelt presence to elevate resident vitality. Shifts—such as four per week for full-time (80 hours bi-weekly) or three for part-time—offer balance amid meaningful momentum.

Essential harmonies include:

Championing holistic health: Conducting vital signs checks, administering medications and treatments per physician orders, and performing skilled nursing tasks like wound care and catheter management to foster comfort and recovery.

Guiding care symphonies: Developing and updating individualized care plans via MDS assessments, auditing for blood sugar, vaccinations, TB, anticoagulants, labs, bowel/bladder protocols, and more—ensuring every detail resonates with resident needs and regulatory standards.

Empowering teams and residents: Coaching CNAs and staff on delivery, monitoring performance for seamless support, while directly assisting with daily living, mobility, hygiene, and emergency responses to nurture independence and joy.

Documenting with devotion: Charting meticulously in our electronic health records, attending in-services and meetings, and adapting to evolving priorities, perhaps infusing a light touch during activities that reignite a resident's spark.

Upholding our ethos: Following evacuation procedures and other duties as assigned, all while weaving empathy into every interaction in our diverse, 14-language, 13-ethnicity mosaic.

Your vigilance won't merely mend— it will magnify the peace our roots revere, transforming shifts into symphonies of solace.

What We're Looking For: Compassion That Calms, Expertise That Elevates

We're calling for a nursing navigator as steadfast as a valley oak—poised for shifts that harmonize with your horizon (including evenings with $7/hour differentials and weekends). Your license is your lantern; our orientation will illuminate the path.
