Position Summary
 
At Stony Brook Medicine, the T&R Center Licensed Practical Nurses in our Labor & Delivery perform tasks and responsibilities within the framework of case finding, health teaching, health counseling, and the provision of supportive and restorative care under the direction of a Registered Nurse, Licensed Physician, or other licensed health care provider. The T & R Center Licensed Practical Nurses observe patients for symptoms and reactions to treatments, treat patients for physical maladies as directed and under close supervision, attend to patients personal needs, and perform a variety of other general duties.

For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title maybe filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply.
