Job Type Contract

Embark on a rewarding contract opportunity providing critical 1:1 nursing care for a high school student requiring specialized support. This full-time role is based near Kennesaw, Georgia, and spans the academic year through late May 2027. You’ll work Monday through Friday, 8:00 am–3:00 pm, aligning with student hours. Flexibility is essential, as bus riding may occasionally be necessary depending on the student’s placement.

In this role, you will deliver essential hands-on nursing services to a semi-verbal, ambulatory high schooler with a history of seizure activity and occasional behavior escalations related to their seizures. The student is currently at a traditional school but may transition to a private ABA therapy center; in either setting, your nursing expertise will ensure a safe and supportive learning environment. Collaboration with the behavior team and responsiveness to medical needs will be key.

Qualifications and Required Experience:

  • Current, active LPN license in Georgia
  • 3–5 years of LPN experience, with demonstrated proficiency in:
    • G and J Tube management
    • Seizure monitoring and intervention
    • Trach care and suctioning
    • Vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) maintenance
  • Previous 1:1 or similar nursing experience with school-aged children
  • Dependable attendance and a commute under 45 minutes
  • Capacity for calm, compassionate support in high-energy situations

Core Responsibilities:

  • 1:1 direct nursing care, monitoring, and documentation
  • Prompt, reliable daily arrival
  • Implementation of seizure precautions and emergency interventions
  • Coordination with behavior teams, teachers, and other stakeholders
  • Supporting the student during all school routines, possibly including transport

Become a trusted partner in a student’s success story—your advanced skills and dedication will truly matter. If you thrive in focused, meaningful settings and are drawn to complex pediatric care, submit your resume to take the next step in your nursing journey!
