The posting
Make a meaningful difference in recovery—one patient at a time.
At The Recovery Village Salem, we believe recovery is possible for everyone and that compassionate, respectful care can change lives. As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), you’ll play an essential role in supporting patients as they navigate substance use and mental health treatment in a collaborative, patient-centered environment.
This is more than a nursing position. It’s an opportunity to build trust, develop meaningful connections, and use your clinical expertise to support individuals throughout their recovery journey.
Our physician-led, multidisciplinary team provides evidence-based treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. As an LPN, you’ll work closely with nurses, physicians, behavioral health professionals and other members of the treatment team to ensure patients receive safe, coordinated and compassionate care.
What you’ll do:
- Provide compassionate nursing care and education to patients regarding their medical and psychiatric conditions.
- Build trusting relationships with patients and families while maintaining dignity, respect and confidentiality.
- Administer and monitor medications and help resolve medication-related issues with pharmacies and providers.
- Perform and document clinical assessments, vital signs, laboratory testing and other nursing procedures.
- Support admissions, transfers and discharges, helping ensure a smooth and coordinated patient experience.
- Monitor laboratory orders, outside consultations and medical transfers to promote continuity of care.
- Collaborate with the treatment team to incorporate medical needs into individualized treatment planning.
- Support infection-control practices, medication management, supply inventory and regulatory compliance.
- Communicate effectively across shifts and help resolve outstanding clinical or administrative issues.
- Provide support and direction to Behavioral Health Technicians and contribute to a positive, safe treatment environment.
The role offers a dynamic combination of hands-on nursing, patient education, behavioral health care and teamwork. You’ll have the opportunity to use a broad range of clinical skills while helping patients take meaningful steps toward recovery.
