Licensed practical nurse (LPN) sought for part-time position taking care of older teen. The patient has multiple disabilities, including an inability to walk, and attends a special education school. You should be experienced with enteral feeding, delivery of medicines via a gastric tube, hygiene including use of a urinal and transfers.
Engaging with the child and providing companionship is also important. That may include reading to him, playing cards, fidget spinners, dice and imaginative play. In good weather, the two of you may take a walk in the neighborhood, with his wheelchair.
We need someone every weekend, for either Saturday or Sunday. If you are also available during school holidays / vacations, that is a plus, and that is why we think this would work out best for a school nurse.
Current Massachusetts LPN license required
Pay is $40 per hour, via a payroll service.
