About This Role
Working within the Troup County Jail, this full-time Licensed Practical Nurse position focuses on delivering essential medical services during the 7:00 PM to 7:30 AM shift. You will navigate a rotating schedule that includes every other weekend, providing a steady rhythm to your workweek. Your nightly responsibilities center on medication administration, triage, and conducting intake screenings for new arrivals. Beyond routine assessments, you will manage chronic care plans and respond to urgent medical needs as they arise, ensuring the patient population receives professional and compassionate clinical attention. This environment suits an LPN who thrives in autonomous settings and prefers the focused nature of correctional health over the constant interruptions of traditional bedside nursing.

Southern Health Partners prioritizes a collaborative atmosphere where you work alongside providers and security staff to maintain a safe, functional clinic, offering you a unique path to sharpen your diagnostic skills and gain experience in a specialized field.
