Private Duty LPN – Top Pay, Low Patient Ratio (1:1 Care)

About the Role

RNS Private Duty Care is inviting LPNs to join in a caregiver-style role, providing one-on-one support in the home while earning a higher hourly rate than traditional caregiving. Most shifts are supportive, 1:1 care where your nursing background makes you invaluable, without the chaos of a facility. When available, the White-Glove Post-Op Program offers short-term 24–48 hour cases at $45/hr, supporting cosmetic surgery clients with comfort care, safety oversight, transportation, and recovery monitoring. These specialty assignments are limited but highly rewarding financially and professionally.

Why Nurses Choose RNS

• Competitive base pay ($25–$28/hr depending on skill set and availability)
• Flexible scheduling that works around your primary job
• Low-stress, one-on-one client environments
• Premium post-op opportunities ($45/hr when assigned)
• Safe, vetted homes; we only send you where we'd go ourselves
• Ongoing support from experienced nurse leadership
• Locally owned, team-oriented culture that values your license and your time

What This Role Looks Like

• Providing one-on-one support in the home
• Assisting with daily living activities
• Medication reminders or administration (when applicable)

• Monitoring condition changes and communicating with the care team
• Light documentation per RNS standards

For post-op assignments:

• Comfort support and recovery monitoring
• Pain management support (non-clinical oversight)
• Transportation and errands
• Safety supervision during the first 24–48 hours post-surgery
