About The Position

Home Care Network is seeking a compassionate, dependable Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Registered Nurse (RN) to provide long-term private duty nursing care to a client in the client's home in Covington, Ohio. The required schedule is four-hour shifts from 2:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m., Sunday through Saturday, for 28 hours per week. The role requires dependable, ongoing coverage. Additional PRN visits or cases may be available for nurses who want more hours, including opportunities to reach 32–40 hours per week; additional work is optional and not guaranteed. Nurses seeking full-time hours must be willing to begin with the 28-hour-per-week case while additional clients are secured. The nurse provides skilled, client-centered care in accordance with physician orders, the RN-established care plan, applicable regulations, and agency policies. The position includes one-on-one care at the client's home and collaboration with the RN Case Manager and Clinical Leadership Team to support quality outcomes, communication, and continuity of care. At least one year of G-tube care and medication administration experience is required. Reliable travel to the Covington home is required; travel within a 30-minute radius is required for additional opportunities, and willingness to cover clients up to a 45- or 60-minute radius is highly desired. Starting pay is $28–$32 per hour for LPNs and $35–$38 per hour for RNs. Compensation depends on licensure, experience, clinical skills, certifications, employment history, and overall client and team fit. The employer describes this as a long-term opportunity, not a temporary, contract, or short-term position.
