Key duties include patient assessments, preparing patients for evaluations, administering medications, maintaining cleanliness in work areas, and documenting information in electronic medical records. Patient education and assistance with referrals and lab procedures are also part of the role. Requirements include graduation from an accredited nursing program, Virginia LPN licensure, and BLS certification. Preferred experience is one year in a physician office. Strong communication, organizational, and computer skills are essential.
