Description Respiratory Nurse (RN/LPN) at Banyan Pulmonary Services
If you love nursing — but want more time to actually practice it — read this.
For nearly 30 years, respiratory care has been missing in long-term care.
We’re bringing it back — and building a model where nurses can focus on clinical care, relationships, and outcomes.
This role is different.
You’ll work with the same residents consistently, partner closely with RTs, and have the time and support to think, assess, and make an impact — not just move from task to task.
What You’ll Do Support residents with respiratory conditions (COPD, CHF, trachs, vents) Assess, monitor, and respond to changes in condition Work closely with RTs, physicians, and facility teams Educate residents and families Help prevent avoidable hospitalizations
What You Need Active RN license BLS required (ACLS a plus) Strong clinical judgment and communication
Why This Role Stands Out Consistency — same residents, real continuity of care Stronger clinical focus — more time to assess, think, and intervene Team-based model — you’re supported by RTs, not doing it alone Meaningful impact — see real progress over time
The Bottom Line You became a nurse to make a difference — not just stay busy. This is a chance to be part of a model that lets you do exactly that. Apply if you’re ready for something different.
