About the Role

At Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services, a Care Options for Kids company, we provide 1:1 care in the home, and we do things a little differently. Theres no revolving door of patients or hospital setting chaos blinking call lights, scurrying doctors, and wards bursting at the seams.

Instead, you work with self-sufficient autonomy, empowered to make a real difference in your clients lives. We value your clinical knowledge and respect the deep one-on-one bond you establish with the families you care for. Of course, if you need anything, your Director of Nursing is only a phone call away we offer 24-hour, 365-day support and on-demand clinical resources.

A Day in the Life of a Care Options for Kids Nurse

You start your day by touching base with your care team, whether thats mom, dad, or the nurse you are relieving. For added ease, in-depth information on your client is available in our dedicated EHR platform.

Your client greets you warmly. Though shes non-verbal, shell smile and reach out to touch your face and put her head to your chest for a cuddle shes excited to see you. After disconnecting her ventilator, which she only needs at night, its time for breakfast and a light sponge bath.

From there, every day is a new adventure. You may decide to head outdoors to gaze at clouds, hunt for ladybugs, or make flower crowns. You may set up a living room campout or travel back in time with a book until its time for lunch.

Throughout the day, you prepare and deliver her medications and perform her routine trach and g-tube care documenting the dosages and treatments within your dedicated Point of Care platform, where youre able to view and compare notes and assessments easily and electronically. While your client takes a late afternoon nap, you finalize your electronic documentation and touch base with the relieving member of your care team before heading home.

Whatever the day brings, a day in the life of a Care Options for Kids nurse feels less like work and more like caring for family. Its an opportunity to build your clinical expertise while shaping the lives of your client and their loved ones every single day.
