Harvey, Illinois, United States Children's Habilitation Center Full time
About Us

At Children's Habilitation Center, we're pioneering innovative ventilator care and weaning programs. Our pediatric pulmonologist works closely with on-site respiratory therapists to ensure 24/7 care. In 2009, we improved an existing weaning program aimed at reducing the number of ventilator-dependent residents. Since its inception, the program has identified 12 potential candidates for this process.

We've seen extraordinary results: 8 children have been totally weaned from mechanical ventilation, and 3 have been discharged to a home setting. This program has been life-changing for several families due to improved quality of life. Given its success, we're receiving children earlier and earlier from hospital NICUs and PICUs.

The Pediatric Ventilator Weaning Program is now available to any child who comes to CHC mechanically ventilated. As a member of our team, you'll work closely with healthcare professionals to administer adequate ventilation and oxygenation using proper respiratory equipment as prescribed. You'll also operate and maintain equipment that administers oxygen or assists with breathing.

You will participate in physician rounds, monitor patient oxygen status daily, and document all services/treatments per CHC policy. You'll respond to Code Blue situations and maintain equipment according to established infection control guidelines. Estimated salary: $62,000 - $80,000 per year.

Job Description

Your responsibilities will include administering aerosol therapy and humidification as prescribed, assessing patient respiratory status, and communicating effectively with the Charge Nurse. You'll ensure patient respiratory needs are met by providing CPT, postural drainage, and suctioning as needed.

You'll also participate in a dynamic and comprehensive team comprised of pediatricians, a pediatric pulmonologist, an advanced practice nurse, nurses, and physical therapists to determine a schedule for the weaning process. An individualized weaning calendar will be developed for each child.
