Licensed Vocational Nurse II - Nurse Support Teams

The County of Riverside - Riverside University Health System (RUHS) - Medical Center is seeking an experienced Licensed Vocational Nurse II to join our team in Moreno Valley.

Under supervision and direction of a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or physician, the incumbent will be responsible for performing aseptic dressing changes on vascular access devices such as PICC lines, midlines, and central lines, as well as supporting patients during procedures performed by RNs or physicians to ensure their comfort, privacy, and safety.

The role also involves performing ultrasound-guided peripheral IV insertions for both adult and pediatric patients, observing and reporting vascular access site conditions, and promptly communicating any changes to the RN or provider.

Additional duties include participating in daily rounding and quality audits to uphold infection prevention and hospital standards, reinforcing patient and staff education on line care and infection control, and maintaining strict aseptic technique during all vascular access procedures.
