LPN/RN Dosing Nurse-Help People Rebuild their lives

Description

Be the Face of Hope for Someone’s Hardest Day

For many of our patients, the walk through our door is one of the most challenging decisions they've made. Some are living in their cars or on the street. Some have been turned away from other care settings. Many have experienced judgement that no human should have to encounter.  

At Community Medical Services, we believe everyone deserves compassionate, judgment-free care, and as a dosing nurse, you’ll be one of the people who makes that a reality. You’ll become a trusted caregiver and presence in our client's lives and you’ll be there as they stabilize, start rebuilding relationships, find work, and reclaim their lives.

If you’ve ever wanted your nursing license to mean more than just a paycheck, this is the role for you.

Pay: $38-$42

Schedule:  Monday-Friday 530am-2pm, every other Saturday 6am-1030am

What Your Days Look Like

You’ll work in a calm outpatient clinic setting, much like a doctor’s office, with a consistent, early-bird schedule that leaves your afternoons free. The heart of the job is relationships. You won’t be physically moving patients, but you will be talking with them all day, learning their stories, and making a difference.

In this role, you will:

• Administer medication as prescribed by CMS medical providers, giving patients the stability they need to focus on recovery
• Check in on how patients are doing, watching for physical symptoms, mental health concerns, and signs they may need extra support
• Take vital signs and collect blood and urine specimens, and run point-of-care urine drug screens per company policy
• Keep medication inventory and client records accurate and secure, in our EHR system and in compliance with all federal, state, local, and accrediting regulations
• Safeguard the clinic and community by monitoring administration closely to prevent diversion and reporting any concerns to the proper internal authorities
• Respond to adverse reactions and medication errors, and document them per company policy
• Coordinate courtesy dosing for patients who are traveling or temporarily relocating, so their care never has to stop
• Deliver medications to external facilities and order dosing room and nursing supplies
• Administer CPR if needed
• Work under the supervision of the Clinic Manager, alongside medical providers who share your commitment to patients

You’ll Love This Job If You...

• Believe addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failing
• Like to chat, and see conversation as part of the care
• Want to be part of a team that treats every patient with dignity
• Thrive on a predictable schedule
• Are energized by seeing real, visible change in people’s lives over time

We Take Care of Our Nurses, Too

Caring for others is demanding work, and we invest in the people who do it:

• Subsidized medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Health savings account
• Short- and long-term disability insurance
• Life insurance
• Paid sick, vacation, and holiday time
• 401(k) with company match
• Tuition and CME reimbursement up to 100%
• Employee assistance program for your own mental health and wellness
• Ongoing professional development

Requirements

 No addiction medicine experience? No problem. It’s preferred but not required. If you bring compassion and a willingness to learn, we’ll help with the rest.

What You Bring

• Active LPN or RN license in Oregon
• CPR certification
• Valid driver’s license and a satisfactory driving record for the past 39 months (Motor Vehicle Clearance required)
• Reliable transportation and the ability to travel to assigned CMS sites
• Knowledge of the signs of intoxication and opioid withdrawal
• Accuracy in medication administration and record-keeping
