Registered Nurses & Licensed Practical Nurses - St. Louis

Missouri Veterans Home - St. Louis, located in North St. Louis County (at Hwy 367 and Interstate 270), is a 300 bed skilled facility seeking Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses. Registered Nurse positions are advanced professional and supervisory nursing work. An employee is this class is responsible for planning, supervising and participating in nursing care for a limited number of the physically or mentally ill or disabled or mentally retarded/developmentally disabled, or for work of comparable responsibility. Employees in this class may normally be distinguished from nurses of lower rank by reason of assignment as the nurse in charge on a ward or unit requiring close professional supervision on the shift involved. Work may also involve independent nursing duties which require the application of specialized nursing skills. The employee normally supervises subordinate professional and paraprofessional nursing staff involved in providing and documenting general and specialized nursing care. The employee is expected to perform assigned duties independently according to instructions and established nursing standards and procedures. Work is reviewed by superiors for conformance with established policy and effectiveness of nursing activities.

Licensed Practical Nurse positions require practical nursing work involving supervisory responsibilities for the care and treatment of physically ill patients, or independent work of comparable responsibilities in a state hospital, institution, or health care facility. An employee in this class performs a variety of difficult and responsible practical nursing work, on wards or units for the acutely ill, where the most intensive care of patients is required. Work may include "ward charge" assignments with supervisory responsibilities over a number of subordinates, in units or wards requiring close supervision and/or involving special nursing skills. Work of this class may be distinguished from Licensed Practical Nurse II by the delegation of supervisory responsibility in the more complex nursing care areas and/or by the performance of difficult and varied nursing procedures on units for the acutely ill. Supervision is provided by a registered professional nurse who reviews work through reports, ward inspections, and observations; however, the employee is expected to perform the more difficult and complex duties without detailed instructions. Our nursing positions offer competitive compensation and an employee benefit package that includes paid holidays, sick and vacation leave, along with health, vision, dental and life insurance.
