Job description

We are hiring a mid-level Licensed Practical Nurse in St. Joseph, MO to strengthen the quality of care our community depends on. The offer reads simply — freelance, $56,000 - $86,000, 4 years, and a mid-level role where ownership is not a perk but the point.

Key Responsibilities

• Read intake histories for the red flags a rushed mid-level provider might skip past
• Coordinate discharge planning and transitions of care
• Bridge the language gap with interpreter services so consent is truly informed in St. Joseph
• Map each patient's pain across the shift and adjust comfort measures before they ask twice
• Teach Triage technique to families taking a patient home, then have them show you back
• Mentor 5-month Licensed Practical Nurse residents through their first solo Wound Care procedures

What You'll Bring

• Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
• The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
• Hands-on experience with modern Triage workflows and tooling
• Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
