About The Position

Are you looking for a nursing role that prioritizes meaningful connection over the frantic pace of a hospital floor? We are seeking a dedicated and engaging Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to provide one-on-one care for a bright and expressive 22-year-old young woman in the heart of Oxford. This is a unique opportunity to provide specialized clinical care while building a genuine bond with a patient who thrives on interaction and social engagement. The Opportunity: Flexibility & Balance We understand that work-life balance is essential. This position offers exceptional flexibility: Shift Times: Typically 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM. Days: Your choice of days, Monday through Friday. Status: Part-time (shifts are shared with another wonderful nurse on the case). Location: A comfortable, private home setting in Oxford, MI. Our patient is a resilient individual with a complex medical profile requiring a nurse who is confident, observant, and technically skilled. Key responsibilities include: G-Tube Management: Routine feedings and medication administration via G-tube (placed since age 13).

You are a perfect fit if you: Love to Engage: You enjoy talking, reading, or playing music. She has the cognitive mindset of a 6–7 year old and flourishes when her caregivers interact with her rather than just "working around" her.
