Nurses—a Precious Resource
There is a nursing shortage in the United States. At Kinder Hearts, we are working tirelessly to minimize the impact of that shortage on our clients. At times, however, we too are faced with the reality that there simply are not enough new nurses.
To handle this shortage, we do everything we can to make Kinder Hearts a desirable place to work. That way we can retain our existing nurses, while continuing to attract and hire nurses that have the extraordinary expertise our clients expect.
Kinder Hearts hires only the very finest caregivers. We recognize and respect them for the important work they do. This, in addition to the amazing satisfaction that Kinder Hearts get from helping our clients, keeps our heroic workforce inspired through long shifts, hard work, and overtime.
Skilled Nursing (RNs & LVNs)
At Kinder Hearts, patient care is led by our skilled registered nurses (RNs) and licensed vocational nurses (LVNs). RNs establish appropriate care plans that follow physicians' orders, while providing the best possible home life for our clients. RNs provide certain treatments (wound, respiratory, diabetes care, colostomy care, injections, and medication administration), educate the client about his or her condition, and provide ongoing assessments and reports to the physician and the client.
Kinder Hearts’ LVNs execute the RNs' care plan, providing certain skilled treatments (in accordance with state laws and regulations). LVNs also track a patient's condition, and report changes in client status to the RNs.
