Job description

Pay: $25-$30 per hour, based on facility and shift

Position Type: PRN / As-Needed / LPN

Vital Medical Staffing is looking for dependable, compassionate Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) to join our PRN team. This role is ideal for nurses who value flexibility, communicate clearly, and are comfortable stepping into facilities when coverage is needed - sometimes on short notice.

We partner with hospitals, long-term care facilities, behavioral health settings, and clinics. Because our work focuses heavily on PRN and coverage shifts, we are looking for LPNs who are reliable, adaptable, and confident in their clinical skills.

As a PRN LPN, you'll provide direct patient care within your scope of practice. This includes administering medications, monitoring patient conditions, documenting care accurately, and working closely with RNs, CNAs, and facility staff. You'll be expected to follow facility protocols while maintaining professionalism and compassion at all times.

Clear communication is essential in this role. Our LPNs need to communicate effectively with facility leadership and our staffing team, especially when accepting shifts, reporting concerns, or addressing patient needs during an assignment. Showing up on time, prepared, and ready to work is a must.

What you'll need to qualify:

• Active and valid LPN license
• Current TB test
• Active CPR/BLS certification
• CPR/BLS must be instructor-led and in person (online-only courses are not accepted)
• Reliable transportation
• Strong communication and documentation skills
• Compassion for patients and dedication to quality care
• Ability to work PRN and accept last-minute shifts (Our facilities rely on us for urgent coverage, so the ability to pick up last-minute shifts is an important part of this role.)

Why work with Vital Medical Staffing:

We offer flexible PRN scheduling so you can work when it fits your availability. You'll gain experience in a variety of healthcare settings and work with different care teams. Our staffing team is supportive, organized, and responsive - we truly try to make sure our nurses feel supported and respected.

This position is perfect for LPNs who enjoy flexibility, take pride in being dependable, and want to make a difference when facilities are short-staffed.

If you're an LPN who cares about patients, communicates well, and can be counted on, we'd love to hear from you.

As part of our commitment to providing a safe and secure environment, we conduct background checks and drug screenings on all prospective employees. These screenings are essential to ensuring that our workplace remains a safe, productive, and positive environment for everyone.
