Why You'll Love This Job

BrightStar Care Gainesville is hiring a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to provide 1:1 private duty nursing to a medically complex pediatric patient in their home. One patient. Consistent shifts. The kind of nursing relationship most LPNs went into this field to build. If you are comfortable with pediatric care and want out of the facility grind, we would love the opportunity to speak with you.
Available Shifts
  • Mon–Thurs: 6:30 PM – 11:30 PM
  • Wed & Thurs: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (12-hour shifts)
  • Sat & Sun: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
What We Offer
  • $28/hour starting pay — weekly direct deposit
  • Paid clinical orientation before your first solo shift — trach care, G-tube, ventilator management, and seizure protocols included
  • RN supervisor available by phone throughout every shift
  • Consistent single-patient caseload with a backup plan when your case is interrupted
  • Referral bonus program
Florida Medicaid sets the reimbursement rate for pediatric private duty nursing. $28/hour is at the top of what that rate supports for LPNs in Gainesville — and because you will be with one patient per shift, your schedule and income are both predictable.
