RN/LPN Pediatric Home Care - Lakeland and Winter Haven
About The Position
Home Heart Florida is seeking compassionate registered nurses and licensed practical nurses to provide one-on-one skilled nursing care for pediatric patients in their homes across Lakeland, Winter Haven, and the rest of Polk County. Nurses are matched with families based on clinical experience, personality, location, and schedule, and are offered cases that are a realistic commute from their home.
