Job Overview:
The LPN provides practical nursing care to patients in an ambulatory military healthcare environment. The position involves completing assigned patient-care activities, monitoring patient conditions, administering prescribed medications and treatments, assisting with diagnostic and specialized procedures, educating patients and families, and accurately documenting care.
Key Duties:
- Provide assigned nursing care to different patient populations.
- Observe patients and accurately recognize, report, and document relevant clinical information.
- Administer prescribed oral, topical, subcutaneous, intramuscular and/or IV medications within authorized scope and established procedures.
- Provide equipment-assisted care and patient/family education.

Qualifications
Education: Graduate of an accredited school of nursing. The PWS does not permit an education-equivalency substitution for this labor category.
Experience: The applicable DHA standard qualification requires at least 1 year of experience within the last 2 years as a Practical or Vocational Nurse.
Licensure: Must maintain a current, full/active, valid, and unrestricted nursing license. Note: the KACC LPN section contains an apparent drafting inconsistency referring to an “RN” license; the same section identifies the position as an LPN and its education requirement specifies licensure as a Licensed Practical Nurse. The DHA standard qualification specifically requires an unrestricted practical/vocational nurse license.
Certification: Current BCLS/BLS through the American Heart Association (AHA) or American Red Cross.
Citizenship: Must be a U.S. Citizen.
Skills and Abilities:
Strong practical nursing and patient-care skills; ability to administer medications safely; ability to recognize changes in patient condition and urgent situations; effective patient/family communication and education; accurate clinical documentation; and ability to work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary healthcare team.

Work Environment:
This position is based at Kimbrough Ambulatory Care Center, an outpatient military healthcare facility at Fort Meade. The LPN works directly with patients and alongside military, civilian, and contract healthcare professionals while following DoD, DHA, and MTF clinical and safety standards.
Additional Requirements:
KACC LPNs are not designated emergency-essential and are not required to work federally recognized holidays under this Task Order. Situational telework is only authorized during qualifying unplanned closures when management determines it supports mission requirements.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive
