Job Description

Overview:

Team Select Home Care of Columbus is actively searching for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) to join our Private Duty nursing team!

We need your help! Due to the unfortunate Medicaid budget update recently passed in Indiana, it will become more challenging for families to take care of their medically complex children. Families are losing their ability to care of their loved ones themselves. With that, they lose the ability to work and provide for their family, unless they have nursing support. That is where YOU come in!

This specific position provides a unique opportunity for a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to work one on one with a member of our community that has skilled nursing needs. The particular patient we are hiring for is a pediatric female in Columbus, IN who requires care for her seizure disorder. This is an amazing opportunity to create a strong relationship with a patient and the family. We have had many nurses work with the same patient for 10+ years!

Prior to working with a client through us, we will provide you the opportunity to have a meet and greet with the patient and their family. This serves as a good opportunity to see the environment where you’d be working and ask questions in regard to the daily routine of the patient. We also provide ample amounts of opportunities for shadowing and training with this patient. We will work to find a schedule that works for YOU and YOUR availability.

Field nurses will work closely with the agency, family, and other service providers to ensure the best comprehensive care for the client. For more information about our private duty nursing services provided, please visit our website at www.tshc.com. Responsibilities:
