Respiratory Nurse; LPN, RN

Description

Respiratory Nurse (RN/LPN) at Banyan Pulmonary Services

If 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.

• 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

• Active RN license
• BLS required (ACLS a plus)
• Strong clinical judgment and communication

• 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.
