- NURSING STAFF-

Under the supervision of the Head Nurse, the Nursing Staff provide direct patient care and services in support of Health Services physician and nurse practitioner staff. The Nursing Staff is composed of licensed practical nurses (LPN’s) and medical assistants (MA’s).

LPN’s must complete an accredited training program and are required to pass a national licensure exam. They provide nursing care that requires significant medical and technical knowledge and skill but not the in-depth professional education and training of a registered nurse.

MA’s provide patient care services that may include lab work and other routine testing procedures, medical information processing, and clinical duties requiring less formal medical training and/or knowledge than an LPN. MA’s typically receive formal training through an accredited medical assisting program and may get certified as registered medical assistants (RMA’s).
