Companion/RN

Private RN Companion

Henderson, Nevada | Part-time | $65/hour

Schedule: Monday–Friday, minimum 2-3 hours per day, with flexibility for longer visits, msy some overnights

About the Role

A family is seeking a warm, experienced Registered Nurse to be a companion to their mother, who is in her mid-90s and lives in a senior living community in Henderson. She is sharp, spirited, and independent, and she manages her own hygiene and medications. Her community provides 24-hour support, but her family wants the added reassurance of a dedicated companion with a nurse's eye.

This role is primarily companionship, not hands-on medical care. Because the family can't always be there, they value sound clinical judgment and someone who takes initiative.

Responsibilities

• Provide meaningful companionship through conversation, activities, and outings

• Accompany her to appointments and social events as needed

• Notice changes in her physical, cognitive, or emotional well-being, including bruising, swelling, or skin changes

• Check vital signs and provide basic nursing support when appropriate and authorized

• Recognize when medical evaluation is needed and respond promptly to urgent concerns

• Coordinate with her residential staff and healthcare providers as authorized

• Keep the family updated, with appropriate authorization, and offer practical recommendations

• Respect her independence, dignity, privacy, and preferences

Requirements

• Active Nevada RN license

• Professional liability insurance

• Nursing experience, preferably in geriatrics, private duty, or home health

• Strong clinical judgment, observation, and communication skills

• Ability to work independently and reliably

• Availability for a consistent weekday schedule, with some flexibility
