Job Description

Job Description

Client Summary: We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Registered Nurse (RN) to provide overnight care for an 9-year-old boy who suffered an anoxic brain injury at a young age. He is tracheostomy and ventilator-dependent and resides with his loving mother in a smoke-free, pet-free home. His care is administered in a fully equipped, beautiful, apartment-style converted basement. The primary need is for night shift coverage, with flexible 12-hour shifts.

Centria Healthcare works hard to provide in home nursing care for children born with respiratory complications. Shift times vary from 8hrs a day up to 12 hrs a day. We offer flexible nurse driven scheduling. We have part time opportunities as well as full time opportunities. You can even work with Centria as a supplement to your current job. The opportunities are endless.

We have an exciting opportunity for a nurse to make a HUGE impact in a child's life. We are looking for a nurse that is ready to take a step back from the chaotic hospital environment and work one-on-one with a child in their home. Home Health nurses are heroes in Centria's mind.

YOU can make a difference- even if it is only one day a week.
