Respiratory Nurse LPN
If you love nursing - but want more time to actually practice it -
For nearly 30 years, respiratory care has been missing in long-term care. We’re bringing it back - and building a model where nurses can focus on clinical care, relationships, and outcomes. This role is different.
What You’ll Do
- Support residents with respiratory conditions (COPD, CHF, trachs, vents)
- Assess, monitor, and respond to changes in condition
- Work closely with RTs, physicians, and facility teams
- Educate residents and families
- Help prevent avoidable hospitalizations
What You Need
- Active LPN license
- BLS required (ACLS a plus)
- Strong clinical judgment and communication
Why This Role Stands Out
- Consistency - same residents, real continuity of care
- Stronger clinical focus - more time to assess, think, and intervene
- Team-based model - you’re supported by RTs, not doing it alone
- Meaningful impact - see real progress over time

You became a nurse to make a difference - not just stay busy. This is a chance to be part of a model that lets you do exactly that.
