The city
Living in Akron, OH

More about Community Behavioral Nursing Services
The organization specializes in serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, focusing on empowering patients to live with dignity and respect. CBNS serves Stark, Medina, Cuyahoga, and Lorain Counties in Ohio and reports continued growth. The agency actively recruits both Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) for assignments across multiple Ohio communities including Amherst, Hudson, and West Akron. Unlike traditional home care roles, CBNS emphasizes a model where nurses typically travel no more than fifteen miles between patient locations, which the organization highlights as promoting better work-life balance and reducing time spent on the road. Nurses are responsible for providing skilled nursing services in accordance with each patient's nursing plan of care, within their scope of practice. Core duties include completion and documentation of vital signs and clinical observations, coordination of care activities, and direct delivery of nursing services for each assigned patient. The organization seeks dependable, self-motivated nurses who can work independently in home and community settings.
CBNS is dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live with dignity and respect. The organization values dependability, self-motivation, and coordinated, person-centered care delivered in home and community settings.
