About this role

Respiratory Nurse LPN/RN at Banyan Pulmonary Services

If you love nursing — but want more time to actually practice it — read this.

For nearly 30 years, respiratory care has been missing in long-term care . We’re bringing it back — and building a model where nurses can focus on clinical care, relationships, and outcomes.

This role is different.

Read the full posting

You’ll work with the same residents consistently, partner closely with RTs , and have the time and support to think, assess, and make an impact — not just move from task to task.

What You’ll Do

Support residents with respiratory conditions (COPD, CHF, trachs, vents)

Assess, monitor, and respond to changes in condition

Work closely with RTs, physicians, and facility teams

Educate residents and families

Help prevent avoidable hospitalizations

What You Need

Active LPN/RN license

BLS required (ACLS a plus)

Strong clinical judgment and communication

Why This Role Stands Out

Consistency — same residents, real continuity of care

Stronger clinical focus — more time to assess, think, and intervene

Team-based model — you’re supported by RTs, not doing it alone

Meaningful impact — see real progress over time

The Bottom Line

You became a nurse to make a difference — not just stay busy.

This is a chance to be part of a model that lets you do exactly that.

Apply if you’re ready for something different.
