Allows experienced nurses to transition to a role that maximizes their expertise, while supporting desire for a change in physicality of work.
Care Partners (LPN/LVN, CNA, NA) have access to two RNs for patient care.
Care partners are an integral part of the Virtual Connected Care team addressing routine patient care needs appropriate to their license.
