• Implement treatment programs directed by Health Care Practitioners, administer medications, including IV therapy (if certified), and perform diagnostic tests according to established protocols and procedures.
• Collaborate in controlled substance counts at the beginning of each shift, adhering to safety techniques, procedures, and standard precautions while responding to codes or health emergencies within standard guidelines.
• Assist in medical or minor surgical procedures, implement nutrition and therapeutic diet plans, and document nursing encounters using SOAP charting, ensuring effective communication with nursing staff, physicians, and other relevant personnel.
• Attend mandatory staff meetings and training sessions, demonstrating a commitment to continuous professional development and adherence to policies and procedures in providing high‑quality patient care.

• Education:
  
  Graduate from an accredited school of nursing.
• Experience:
  
  Prefer a minimum of one (1) year clinic experience.
• Licenses/Certifications:
