Job description

The right Licensed Practical Nurse hears a change in a patient's breathing before the alarm does; CVS Health wants that ear in Denver. The thing worth noting is how much CVS Health trusts you here — $77,000 - $114,000, healthcare ownership, and a long runway, all from 4 years in.

Key Responsibilities

• Close the loop on every order — placed, acknowledged, completed, charted
• Keep the mission-soaked pace of a busy Denver ER without letting accuracy slip on any chart
• Cover the forever-learning weekend rotation CVS Health staffs with only its independent mid-level clinicians
• Respond calmly and decisively during clinical emergencies
• Set IV lines on tough sticks others gave up on, sparing the patient a third attempt
• Verify two patient identifiers before every draw, scan, and medication pass
• Coach patients through EKG Interpretation and Delegation regimens until the routine becomes their own

What You'll Bring

• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• Proven Delegation judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
• Equal parts Pain Management depth and TNCC Certification curiosity

The whole point of CVS Health is to make Delegation dependable, and that ego-light mission has anchored it in Denver from day one. We pair junior and senior folks on purpose so Code Blue Response knowledge stops hoarding in one head.

The package is honest: $77,000 - $114,000, a benefits plan that works, mentorship that lasts, and the flexibility to live in Denver, CO.

Current and accurate as of this visit, the full-time opening stands ready.
