Join Our Post-Op Care Team
RNS Private Duty Care is looking for experienced RNs, LPNs, and highly skilled CNAs to join our growing Post-Op Care Team.
Our Post-Op program provides private-duty support to clients recovering from surgical procedures in the comfort of their own homes or hotels. This is a unique opportunity for healthcare professionals and experienced caregivers who enjoy providing high-quality, one-on-one care and want to be part of a professional team focused on the client's safety, comfort, and recovery.
Why Join Our Post-Op Team?
Competitive pay for experienced professionals
Nurse wages: $30-45$/hr based on experience and credentials
CNA wages: $28/hr
PRN/part time scheduling - post-op shifts are offered based on client needs and your availability
12-hour shifts and shorter shifts may be available depending on the assignment
One-on-one care with post-surgical clients
Work alongside a dedicated RNS Post-Op Care Team
Support from RNS leadership and nurse case management
Carefully screened clients and assignments
Opportunity to work with a variety of surgical recovery needs
Meaningful work where your skills and experience directly impact a client's recovery
What Does PRN Mean?
Our Post-Op positions are PRN , meaning shifts are offered as post-op clients are scheduled and based on your availability.
You are not required to maintain a set weekly schedule. Instead, our team communicates upcoming post-op opportunities and works with available team members to staff each assignment appropriately.
Because post-op clients rely on us for consistent, dependable care, accepting a shift means committing to that assignment in its entirety and arriving prepared to provide excellent care.
What We Expect From Our Post-Op Care Team:
Our post-op clients are often recovering from major procedures and may require a higher level of attention and support than a typical private-duty assignment.
We expect our team members to:
Arrive on time and prepared for every scheduled shift
Provide attentive, professional, one-on-one care throughout the assignment
Closely monitor the client and communicate changes or concerns promptly
Follow the client's post-operative care instructions and RNS care plan
Assist with mobility, transfers, toileting, bathing, dressing, and other activities of daily living as appropriate
Monitor for fall risks and other safety concerns
Take and document vital signs when required
Provide medication reminders and assist with non-medical aspects of the recovery plan
Encourage hydration, nutrition, mobility, and other recovery activities as directed by the client's medical team
Maintain appropriate communication with the client, family, RNS case manager, and other members of the care team
Complete all required documentation accurately and timely
Maintain a professional appearance and demeanor
Protect client privacy and follow HIPAA and all RNS policies
Remain engaged and attentive throughout the shift
Understand that post-op care requires flexibility, professionalism, and strong clinical judgment
We're Looking For:

Ideal candidates are:

Ideal candidates have:
Significant private-duty, home care, CNA, or healthcare experience
Experience with transfers, mobility assistance, fall prevention, ADLs, and post-hospital care
