RNS Private Duty Care is looking for experienced RNs, LPNs, and highly skilled CNAs to join our growing Post-Op Care Team.

Our Post-Op program provides private-duty support to clients recovering from surgical procedures in the comfort of their own homes or hotels. This is a unique opportunity for healthcare professionals and experienced caregivers who enjoy providing high-quality, one-on-one care and want to be part of a professional team focused on the client’s safety, comfort, and recovery.

Why Join Our Post-Op Team?

What Does PRN Mean?

Our Post-Op positions are PRN, meaning shifts are offered as post-op clients are scheduled and based on your availability.

You are not required to maintain a set weekly schedule. Instead, our team communicates upcoming post-op opportunities and works with available team members to staff each assignment appropriately.

Because post-op clients rely on us for consistent, dependable care, accepting a shift means committing to that assignment in its entirety and arriving prepared to provide excellent care.

• Arrive on time and prepared for every scheduled shift
• Provide attentive, professional, one-on-one care throughout the assignment
• Closely monitor the client and communicate changes or concerns promptly

• Assist with mobility, transfers, toileting, bathing, dressing, and other activities of daily living as appropriate
• Monitor for fall risks and other safety concerns
• Take and document vital signs when required
• Provide medication reminders and assist with non-medical aspects of the recovery plan
• Encourage hydration, nutrition, mobility, and other recovery activities as directed by the client’s medical team
• Maintain appropriate communication with the client, family, RNS case manager, and other members of the care team
• Complete all required documentation accurately and timely
• Maintain a professional appearance and demeanor
• Protect client privacy and follow HIPAA and all RNS policies
• Remain engaged and attentive throughout the shift
• Understand that post-op care requires flexibility, professionalism, and strong clinical judgment
