BAYADA Home Health Care • Paterson, NJ

About The Position

BAYADA is hiring STAT Licensed Practical Nurses to provide private-duty nursing care to clients in Passaic, Hudson, and Bergen Counties. STAT LPNs support clients as they transition home from the hospital, cover last-minute openings, and provide the initial four to six weeks of skilled nursing care. Nurses work closely with Clinical Managers to meet each client’s needs under the care plan and provide personalized, one-on-one care in the client’s home.

STAT nurses are paired with a new-admission client on a consistent schedule for approximately one to one-and-a-half months, then matched with another client. The role offers traditional 12-hour shifts, with one client per shift. Clients range from infants to older adults, and care needs range from basic to complex, including tracheostomy and ventilator care. Nurses travel to the client’s home, remain there for the full shift, follow and carry out doctors’ orders, and document care. The role includes assessing and monitoring clients and documenting observations, interventions, and evaluations.

The hourly rate range is $40–$45. Listed rates are $30 per hour during training, $40 per hour for ongoing cases, $43 per hour for new admissions, and $42–$45 per hour for peer precepting. BAYADA offers paid self-directed and tailored training, including pediatric training, for nurses looking to advance their skills. Benefits are subject to employment type.
