LPN-Virtual Health, Continuum of Care PRN

It's more than a career, it's a calling

Job Highlights:

These roles are for our Remote Patient Monitoring program. We are looking for a nurse who has a genuine interest in virtual health.

The patients on this service receive equipment for them to check daily vitals and respond to symptom / risk screening questions on a device.

• The LPN role for this program does a review of all the patients on the program each day – looking at their daily vitals / survey responses of the patients and calling them if anything is outside of goal to discuss / reinforce education / escalate to the RN or provider as needed. It can be both outgoing and incoming calls – phone or video.
• Schedule: No set schedule but minimum requirements are 3 shifts/month. Dept hours are day shift, 7 days/week.

A comfort with technology is a must for this position. Experience in triage / virtual health is preferred. This position may be a great fit for a nurse who has great direct patient care / bedside experience but is looking to use those skills in a different way and would prefer more of a care management / patient education centered position vs a skills based one.
