About the Role
At Care Options for Kids, pediatric home health nursing is intentionally different. Instead of juggling multiple patients, alarms, and constant interruptions, you provide dedicated, one-on-one care in the home. This environment allows you to focus fully on your patient and use your clinical judgment with confidence.
In this role, you'll care for pediatric patients with high acuity needs while building consistent relationships with both the child and their family. Nurses who thrive here value autonomy, continuity of care, and the ability to deliver skilled nursing in a calm, controlled environment, backed by real clinical support whenever it's needed.
If you're an LPN looking for a role where you can practice nursing with focus, purpose, and support, this position was designed with you in mind.
Support and Culture
We prioritize your safety and confidence with a dedicated team focused on nurse success. You will have access to 24/7 on-call clinical support, clear care plans, and physician orders. PPE, including masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer, is provided in every home, with care aligned to CDC safety guidelines.
Our culture is supported by an easy-to-use Employee Portal that puts you in control. You can request shifts that fit your schedule and preferences, earn Care Bucks rewards, and stay connected to the COFK community. Additionally, Respiratory Therapists are on staff to provide training and mentorship, ensuring you have the competency support needed for high-acuity care.
