Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) – Day or Night Full Time Shenandoah, TX, US
Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)
Nexus Children’s Hospital – Shenandoah is a 50-bed specialty hospital serving patients ages 12 and up with co-occurring medical and behavioral needs.
It is the higher-acuity Nexus setting, so the environment is more specialized than a standard med-surg floor, with patients who may have brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe chronic illness, and other medically complex conditions.
The campus includes ICU, transitional care, and rehab units, so the work is very hands-on and clinically involved.
For nursing, it is a strong fit for someone comfortable with bedside care, acute changes, family communication, and patients whose medical and behavioral needs can overlap.
Overall, it is best for an LVN who wants a specialty-hospital setting with more complexity and more interdisciplinary involvement than a traditional floor role.
We’re seeking a Pediatric LVN to provide safe, compassionate nursing care to patients with medical and/or behavioral health conditions under the supervision of an RN or physician. In this role, you’ll support care plan implementation, administer medications and treatments, monitor for changes in condition, document patient responses, and help maintain a safe, therapeutic environment. This role is best suited for an LVN who is comfortable in a structured inpatient setting where medical and behavioral complexity often overlap.
Apply today and make a difference for patients with some of the most complex medical and behavioral needs.
Requires a current Texas LVN license along with BLS, ACLS, and PALS certifications. Preference is given to candidates with 1-2 years of pediatric experience in an acute or rehab hospital setting.
Market context
In Texas, nursing roles like this often draw steady demand in dialysis and other patient-care settings because employers need licensed LVN/LPN candidates who can start safely and learn specialized workflows. These positions can be competitive when they require a current license, preferred dialysis experience, and completion of a training program soon after hire.
