LPN - Pediatric Home Care

BrightStar Care Gainesville is looking for an experienced Pediatric LPN to provide 1:1 private duty nursing to children in their home. You'll build a true care relationship within one family, work a predictable schedule, and leave your shift knowing exactly what you accomplished. No facility politics. No floating. No surprises.

Multiple shift options available:

• Monday – Thursday: 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM
• Friday – Sunday: 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM
• Friday – Sunday: 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM
• Friday – Sunday: 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM
• Friday – Sunday: 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM

A range of consistent, predictable shifts that fit your life — pick the schedule that works for you.

Up to $36.00/hour, based on caseload — weekly direct deposit, every time. Paid clinical orientation before your first solo shift. Consistent assignment — same children, same home, same routine. Referral bonus program — get paid when you bring great nurses to the team.

You will serve as the primary skilled nurse for medically complex pediatric patients in their family home. Typical responsibilities include:

• Delivering 1:1 skilled nursing care for children with complex medical needs
• Managing G-tube feedings, medications, and site care with confidence and precision
• Executing physician-ordered plans of care within LPN scope of practice
• Monitoring, assessing, and responding to changes in patient condition
• Completing thorough shift documentation — all charting is done during your shift, not after
• Communicating consistently with your RN supervisor and the broader care team
• Building a genuine, trusting relationship with the patient and family

This role is designed for an LPN who already knows pediatric nursing. We're not looking to train someone into peds — we're looking for someone who is ready to walk in confident and deliver exceptional care from day one.

Active Florida LPN license (or compact license valid in FL). Minimum 1-2 years of pediatric nursing experience — facility, home care, or clinical setting. G-tube experience required — hands-on, not just classroom. Current BLS/CPR certification. Valid Florida driver's license and auto insurance. TB test or chest X-ray within required timeframe. Prior private duty or home health nursing background.

If you're a seasoned peds LPN with G-tube skills and a calm, confident bedside manner, we want to hear from you.

Facility nursing is demanding, unpredictable, and often thankless. Private duty home care with BrightStar is the opposite. You'll know your patient. You'll know their family. You'll show up to a shift where your presence genuinely matters — and you'll go home knowing you did your job well. We take clinical support seriously. Your RN supervisor is reachable every hour of every shift, orientation is paid and thorough, and we don't leave you to figure things out alone.
