What are the responsibilities and job description for the Home Care RN/ LPN (Day Shift) position at Danny's Nursing?
Registered Nurse - $37.75/hour
Licensed Practical Nurse - $25.17/hour
I am looking for a nurse for a low-stress position working one-on-one with a 31-year-old young man in his home and at his day program in Hudson, Wisconsin.
I am looking for an LPN or RN to work every other Tuesday, every Friday each week, and one Saturday a month. The shift is 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The client has a tracheostomy, g-tube, seizure disorder, and is wheelchair-bound. He is very stable medically.
The client is very easy to work with and loves his nurses. On Tuesdays, he goes to his day program in Hudson. He loves the workers there and his peeps! Flexible atmosphere, separate entry, autonomous working situation, but family available for questions and/or help. No agency is involved, and nursing is a private duty, and you are paid weekly through the State of Wisconsin.
Many of Danny's current nurses work other jobs, and this is their respite job. It is slower-paced and very rewarding. Join Danny's nursing team. :)

Training is provided until the nurse is comfortable with his cares.
