MEDICAL ASSISTANTS, RNs, LPNs

As a clinical professional with PennCare, you will be essential to the practice as you support our medical providers and practice managers in maintaining a patient/customer focus, while supporting the delivery of the highest quality care.

Registered Nurses (RN)
PennCare RNs are responsible for ensuring that our patients have a positive experience at our practices. With compassion, our RNs interact with our patients and their families to respond to their individual needs. From being knowledgeable about patient history, communicating relevant information to practice staff, advising about office policies and triaging after physician consultation, our nurses have a special place within our practice environment.

An associate's degree or a bachelor's degree in nursing and RN licensure is required. One to two years of outpatient or medical office Nursing experience is preferable.

Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN)
The LPNs who practice with PennCare are exceptional in their support and dedication to ensuring that patients have a positive experience. From administering prescribed medications, injections and vaccines and reading PPD results, to performing EKGs, screening tests such as spirometry, audiometry, and vision testing after properly preparing the patient and accurately documenting the results, their skills are highly valued and respected.

Our LPNs are valuable to our providers in the exam room with medical procedures such as positioning patients, wound cleaning and dressing, assisting in orienting new team members and serving as a resource to medical assistants.

Completion of an accredited school of practical nursing program is required. Current licensure as a licensed practical nurse in good standing in the state of Pennsylvania or New Jersey as appropriate is also required along with CPR Certification. One to two years of related outpatient experience preferred.

Medical Assistant
Our medical assistants share a passion for patient and customer-centered care, and assist in meeting and exceeding patient satisfaction as well as financial and operational targets. Coordinating patient care, assisting with procedures, performing laboratory and screening tests, educating patients and their families, and providing clear explanations to patients regarding medical care is crucial to the role of medical assistant.

Minimum certifications, registry and/or licenses required: Education equivalent to the completion of high school and completion of an accredited medical assistant program. CPR Certification preferred. Certification as a medical assistant is required to work for our CHCA practices in New Jersey.
