If you’re an LPN looking for a role where you can actually get to know the people you care for—and not feel stretched thin every shift—this may be a great fit.

At Michael Dunn Center, our nurses support individuals in a residential setting where relationships matter, teamwork is strong, and the pace is more personal than a typical hospital environment.

If you’re coming from a hospital setting, you’ll notice the difference right away. This role offers a steadier pace, deeper connections with the people you support, and a team that works together every day.
