Are you tired of the long commute and traffic and looking for a simpler and quieter way of life? An exciting opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) awaits you! The Licensed Practical Nurse works as a member of a health care team, collaborating on the delivery of care to meet the needs of patients/clients.
