Who is Universal Pediatrics?
Universal Pediatrics is Iowa and South Dakota’s largest provider of private, one-on-one, in-home health care services focusing on pediatric and young adult clients. With over 30 successful years in business, we are proven as the premier choice for pediatric home health care.
Our nurses work in our clients’ home providing skilled medical care. Nursing schedules are based on the client and the family needs. No two clients are alike – we have days, evenings, and even some night shifts depending on your preference. Examples of some of our cares include gastrostomy tubes, jejunostomy tubes, nasogastric tubes, PICCs, PORTs, tracheostomies, seizure disorders, etc. Our kids are kind of those rare kids that would not necessarily be able to stay living at home without medical support services in place.
We case specific train, which means all the cares you would need to complete for your client(s), are specifically taught to you using hands on training by a supervising RN. Our services are unique in the sense that we help to capture all aspects of the client’s care needs within our scope. We help to follow through with therapy orders and exercises for PT/OT/ST. We work on feeding therapies, we complete the respiratory treatments if applicable, we can attend school and help them with developmental needs, we go too appointments with them if needed and help complete all other physician orders. This helps to encompass a full circle care and truly know and building a relationship with your client(s)!
What would you be doing?

We support kids to integrate themselves, as best they can, into school, family, extracurricular activities, and the community while promoting and maintaining their health and safety.

In this role, some days you will have a lot of fun! There will be games, laughing, learning, and adapting. Some days may challenge your abilities to critically think and problem solve as a nurse. At the end of each day, you will feel reward and pride in the services and support you provide that allow clients and families to live a joyful life.
