LPN Occupational Medicine

Overview

To be part of our organization, every employee should understand and share in the YNHHS Vision, support our Mission, and live our Values. These values - integrity, patient-centered, respect, accountability, and compassion - must guide what we do, as individuals and professionals, every day.

The Licensed Practical Nurse I provides care to patients and is responsible for performing designated tasks and responsibilities under the direction of a Registered Nurse, with a focus on supportive and restorative care, health counseling and teaching. The LPN I demonstrates clinical judgment by applying problem‑solving techniques and integrating skills and knowledge into clinical practice.

Patient and Family Centered Care (PFCC) at YNHHS is demonstrated by working with patients and their families based on the four principles of PFCC: participation, dignity and respect, information sharing, and collaboration. This includes providing service excellence by creating a great "First Impression" through exemplary customer service skills for all customer groups including patients, families/friends, physicians, staff, and support department personnel.

The LPN I adheres to the "I Am YNHH" service excellence pledge and promotes a positive work environment.
