Licensed Vocational Nurse I​/II-CHC Jurupa Valley

The County of Riverside
- Riverside University Health System (RUHS) - Community Health Centers is seeking a bilingual Licensed Vocational Nurse I/II to join their team in Jurupa Valley.

Under supervision and direction of a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or physician, the incumbent will be responsible for performing nursing duties within the scope of the Nurse Practice Act for vocational nursing in the care of patients in the Department of Mental Health or Public Health Ambulatory Family Health Center, and perform other related duties as required. The Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) is not an independent practitioner.

LVN I incumbents have less than one year of experience working as a LVN, and have a one-year probationary period. Incumbents are expected to promote to LVN II at the end of this probationary period and be able to demonstrate independent practice proficiency as an LVN II within the full scope of the Nurse Practice Act for vocational nursing. The Licensed Vocational Nurse I is the first working level in the LVN series.

Incumbents perform the full range of nursing duties in a learning capacity within the scope of the Nurse Practice Act for vocational nursing, typically working under close supervision and receiving comprehensive in-service training. The Licensed Vocational Nurse I is distinguished from the Licensed Vocational Nurse II in that the latter has one year or more of nursing experience. The Licensed Vocational Nurse I is distinguished from the class of Nursing Assistant, Health Services Assistant or Certified Medical Assistant, in that a state license is required of incumbents and they perform a more highly skilled form of nursing care.
