Registered Nurse (RN)

Overview

This role involves caring for a mother and daughter (daughter is age 13) who are suffering from a debilitating illness combined with long covid, in their home. Neither are currently hospitalized. The mother had a pre-existing condition which has dramatically worsened and is often on bed rest. The daughter is now suffering from POTS, has chronic headaches and pain, has had to drop out of school, and is undergoing extensive diagnostic treatment along with a variety of treatment programs in consultation with her doctors.

The mother is no longer in a position to be able to care for her daughter to the extent necessary. She needs help and support. The family also includes a 10 year old boy and the father who are all in good health and all live in the home together. However, the father is not used to managing a situation like this and cannot provide the support that is needed here. He's not a caregiver or project manager (but is a wonderful father nevertheless). But he's out of his depth here.

The family has access to the best medical care - the best long covid specialists in the country, etc. So no one is expecting the nurse to be the doctor here, but there is still a lot to track, manage and deal with, as they navigate this very difficult situation.

Schedule: 5 days per week, 8 or 9 hours per day. (Possibly layering in a second weekend nurse - TBD).
