DescriptionRespiratory Nurse RN at Banyan Pulmonary ServicesIf you love nursing — but want more time to actually practice it — read this.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.You’ll work with the same residents consistently, partner closely with RTs, and have the time and support to think, assess, and make an impact — not just move from task to task.

Why This Role Stands OutConsistency — same residents, real continuity of care

Team-based model — you’re supported by RTs, not doing it alone
