Join the Office of Mental Health at the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, where we are dedicated to providing compassionate and accessible care to our community. Our mission is to help individuals and families navigate life's challenges and achieve long-term wellness, building a healthier and more resilient community together.
As an LPN Non-Institutional at the Waccamaw Center for Mental Health in Conway, SC, you will play a vital role in delivering direct nursing care to patients of all ages. Under direct supervision, you will collaborate with a multidisciplinary treatment team to evaluate care effectiveness, manage discharge planning, and support patients through their wellness journey.
Your day will involve a dynamic mix of clinical and supportive tasks. You will administer medications and injections, monitor vital signs, and perform urine drug screens. Beyond clinical duties, you will educate patients and families on rehabilitative measures, coordinate community support resources, and maintain rigorous documentation standards. This role requires physical mobility to assist patients throughout the clinic and the flexibility to serve as a backup for front desk operations or coverage during staff absences. As an essential employee, you may be asked to report during emergencies or center closures.
