Ghost RX is hiring five (5) Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) for a 52-week contract assignment at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Campus of the VA Hudson Valley Health Care System in Montrose, New York. The FDR Campus is home to extensive long-term care and mental health programs, including the Community Living Center (CLC), inpatient mental health units, a nationally recognized PTSD residential rehabilitation program, and substance abuse and homeless veteran services. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and trusted federal staffing partner, Ghost RX offers nurses the deep professional satisfaction of caring for those who served, in a setting where person-centered care is a daily standard.
In this role, you will provide individualized practical nursing care to veteran residents within the CLC or one of the campus's mental health units - administering medications, monitoring vital signs, assisting with activities of daily living, supporting wound and skin care, collaborating with the interdisciplinary team, and documenting care accurately in the VA electronic health record (CPRS). Candidates with prior experience in either Community Living Center / long-term care nursing OR VA-style inpatient mental health will be strongly considered. Shifts are flexible - 8-hour or 12-hour options are available - at 40 hours per week.
The FDR Campus is located at 2094 Albany Post Road in Montrose, Westchester County, NY - a scenic Hudson River location with easy access to Peekskill, the Lower Hudson Valley, and New York City. VA Hudson Valley Health Care System serves more than 400,000 veterans across Westchester, Dutchess, Putnam, Orange, Rockland, and Sullivan counties as part of VISN 2. Ghost RX provides end-to-end federal credentialing support, comprehensive benefits, paid federal holidays, paid time off, and a dedicated recruiter who guides you through every step of onboarding. Veterans and military spouses are strongly encouraged to apply (VEVRAA-protected).
