Job Description:
Offers of employment at Conway Medical Center's (CMC) ambulatory
locations are for a primary work location (typically one ambulatory
site location). Employees will work at that location the majority
of time. However, all CMC staff function as one larger team when
needed. In order to ensure patients, receive consistent care with
little disruption, employees are required and must be positively
willing to "float" to assist at any site location as a condition of
accepting employment with CMC. This may include any support
function and across any case load including work assignments at
other practices that may not be the normal primary work location.
When "floating" occurs, staff may request reimbursement for mileage
expense for travel that otherwise would not have occurred to and
from the primary location. Additionally, it is understood that
staff may float to secondary work locations where they are not
familiar with staff, physician preferences and the physical work
location. Thus, an orientation to the secondary location will occur
and staff reserve the authority to professionally, temporarily and
without recourse decline a task for which they feel they are not
adequately trained or competent to perform safely, until such time
a staff member can conduct competency training and education.
Position Summary: The Licensed Practical Nurse-PNS (LPN) is
responsible for direct nursing care of assigned patients under the
supervision of a registered nurse or physician in patient care
area. The LPN provides and documents direct nursing care of
assigned patients under the supervision of a registered nurse or
physician. Nursing care is guided by the physician orders and the
nursing plan of care. Patient response to care is reported to a
registered nurse for evaluation, intervention and modification of
the plan of care. The LPN assists physicians and other nursing
personnel in the performance of various diagnostic procedures. The
LPN performs functions as noted above and generally with an

specifically required as a condition of continued employment to
make advance preparations for their families and pets in the event
