Help Bring Iowa's Children Home

Now Hiring Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)!

Imagine going to work each day knowing your skills are helping a child leave the hospital and finally come home.

Iowa Home Care is growing our Pediatric Private Duty Nursing team and is currently hiring compassionate Full-Time and Part-Time RNs and LPNs throughout the Des Moines Metro Area.

Many of the children we serve are waiting to be discharged from Children's Hospitals across Iowa. They can't come home until they have a dedicated nursing team—and that's where you come in.

If you're looking for a rewarding nursing career with flexible scheduling, one-on-one patient care, and the opportunity to truly make a difference, we'd love to meet you.
