About disability resource network, inc.
Disability Resource Network, Inc. is a nonprofit Day Program provider contracted with the State of Connecticut. We support adults with developmental and physical disabilities in a safe, respectful, and person-centered environment that promotes independence, wellness, and community engagement.
Disability Resource Network, Inc. (DRN) is seeking a compassionate and organized Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to support our DDS-funded Adult Day Program in Derby, CT. The program serves approximately 30 individuals age 22 and older with developmental and, at times, physical disabilities.
This role is not strictly clinical in nature. It functions similarly to a “school nurse” position, with a strong focus on medical documentation, preventative care, minor first aid, illness response, and coordination of care. The LPN will work under the supervision and license of a Registered Nurse (RN), who is on call 24/7, conducts regular site visits, reviews and signs documentation, performs medication observations, and provides annual OSHA training. Duties may be delegated in accordance with DDS guidelines.
