1:1 looking for experience with pediatrics, deep suctioning, oxygen, and rescue breathes. Hours would be 10a-330p Monday-Friday based on school calendar.
Supplemental oxygen:
He only needs oxygen while sleeping, at a fixed rate of 0.5 L. Because the rate is set and doesnt require titration based on his vitals or respiratory status, this task could be delegated. Looking ahead to next year, if hes at school for longer periods and naps there, oxygen support would likely need to be available at school. If he is requiring oxygen while awake, he should not be at school.
Rescue breaths:
The doctor indicated this could be performed by someone who is CPR-certified and comfortable providing rescue breaths. However, the doctors understanding was that this is only needed during illness. Mom clarified that his central apnea can occur even when he isnt sick. She noted episodes of breath-holding when hes upset that have required mouth-to-mouth, as well as occasional situations related to aspiration or vomiting where intervention is needed without warning.
Suctioning:
The office asked that I follow up with mom regarding the specific type of suctioning. She explained that she uses a long, flexible catheter for deep suctioning because he cannot effectively swallow, and secretions tend to collect at the back of his throat, which cannot be reached with a rigid suction tip. depending on secretions, this may need to happen every hour.
About PRN Healthcare
Our story starts with a 21-year-old CNA named Pete Hietpas. Pete was diligently working in eastern Wisconsin with a variety of staffing agencies, but something was missing. He loved caring for his patients, but felt that staffing agencies were exchanging compassion for competitiveness. He was determined to change that. As a result, he started Nurses PRN in 1995 to become a model for the healthcare staffing industry – being competitive in the marketplace, yet still maintaining a compassionate heart.
Over the years Nurses PRN grew and evolved as a nationwide healthcare staffing company, and therefore wanted to be more inclusive to all valued healthcare professionals: nurses, allied health, locum tenens, CNAs, and more. This lead to the introduction of PRN Healthcare, which is inclusive of Nurses PRN and all of our other healthcare divisions.
Our mission to create authentic, meaningful relationships with our healthcare professionals helps us set them up for success in their dream assignment, whether that be a travel contract, local contract, or per diem shift. This is all driven by the simple idea that better care for our healthcare workers, leads to better patient care – and this is all supported by a dedicated internal staff.
Our company culture is strongly backed by faith-based values and activities, to remind us that our success provides us the opportunity to serve and give back to our communities. This is the spirit of caregiving. This is PRN Healthcare.
