The workplace
You would spend your shift in a child's home, not on a unit. This is pediatric private-duty home health, 1:1. One Uvalde case is a 4-year-old with a G-tube and oxygen; other postings cover pediatric LVN/RN visits in San Antonio…
Worth asking
- Can you walk me through base pay range and differentials?
- What should I expect for shifts, weekly hours, weekend, holiday, and rotation?
More questions to askFewer questions
- What orientation, preceptor time, and ongoing unit support are included?
- How are patient load, floating, and staffing support handled day to day?
