JOB DESCRIPTION

JOB SUMMARY: We are seeking a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to join our assisted living team in a primarily weekday, daytime role focused on resident-centered care and strong collaboration. This position operates under the supervision and guidance of an experienced Registered Nurse (RN), in accordance with Minnesota Assisted Living Licensure requirements (Minn. Stat. Chapter 144G).

The rotation is designed to be reasonable, well supported, and includes additional compensation for on-call responsibilities. This is an excellent opportunity for an LPN seeking a supportive work environment, strong teamwork, predictable scheduling, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in an assisted living setting.
