RN/LPN - Pediatric Nurse Private Duty - Part Time weekday days (Broomfield)

Vacancy expired!

Seeking Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse for 9 year old boy. Hours 7:00am-5:30pm. The child receives nursing care Monday - Friday, and we are looking for coverage on 2 or 3 consecutive days per week at the beginning or end of the work week. Our son has a seizure disorder and significant motor and speech delays. He is very good-natured and has no behavioral problems.

This may be an ideal position for a nurse who is interested in pediatric rehabilitative care. The RN or LPN will administer emergency seizure medicine if necessary, attend to non-emergency seizures, do diapering (child is partially potty-trained), and assist with oral and G-tube feeding. Nurse must be physically able to lift and occasionally carry child (currently 45 lbs) as he is not wheelchair bound but also not independently mobile. Nurse will accompany child to 4th grade, including riding on the bus to and from school. This naturally also involves working with him on his academic and PT/OT/ST goals in school, with guidance from the special education teacher and therapists. There IS para-educator support for most of the school day.

We are looking for a nurse that is punctual and reliable, creative and fun (you'll have the opportunity to interact with other kids in special and general education), and who is capable of balancing our sons healthcare and educational needs. Further, we are looking for somebody who can envision staying with this position long-term. If you are planning on moving on in a few months, please do not apply (there are plenty of other positions out there!), as staffing changeovers are very disruptive to our family and our careers. One prior nurse had worked with our son for 5 years; his current nurse has been with him for 3 years.

Please send a short note about why youre interested in the position and your resume. Make sure your resume includes your email address and a phone number. While we work through an agency, we have found it beneficial to do some pre-screening. After a phone call we can put you in touch with the hiring agency.

Thanks!
