Description
Are you looking for work/life balance and wanting your nights and holidays back? Consider applying to GAP!
GAP is the longest established gastroenterology practice in the Piedmont Triad area. This independent, physician-owned GI practice is looking for LPNs for our Endoscopy Centers. GAP evaluates new patients, performs consultations and conducts follow-up visits for chronic gastrointestinal conditions. Our offices draw and assess labs, administer injections and monitor medication therapies. We offer on-site infusion services and our clinical staff assist with a variety of in-office procedures. When appropriate, GAP schedules appointments for outpatient screening, diagnostic and/or treatment procedures. Our endoscopy centers are physician-owned outpatient ambulatory surgical centers which specialize in colon cancer screening and prevention as well as a number of other procedures.
The LPN will obtain and document a thorough assessment of each patient's medical status upon admission and on a continuing basis throughout their stay in our center. Multiple roles within the department allows day to day variety in work assignments.
