What is a street nurse?

Street nurses are registered nurses who provide healthcare services to people experiencing homelessness or living in precarious housing situations, often directly on the streets or in shelters. Their work focuses on outreach, harm reduction, health education, and connecting individuals to healthcare and social services. Street nurses address a wide range of health issues, such as wound care, mental health support, substance use, and infectious diseases. They play a crucial role in reducing barriers to healthcare for vulnerable populations and advocating for better health and social policies.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a street nurse, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Street Nurse, you need a valid nursing license, experience in community or public health, and strong clinical assessment skills. Familiarity with mobile health clinics, harm reduction tools, and electronic health records is often required. Compassion, cultural sensitivity, and strong communication abilities are crucial for building trust with vulnerable populations. These skills ensure effective outreach, holistic care, and improved health outcomes for underserved communities.

What are some unique challenges street nurses face when providing care in non-traditional settings?

Street Nurses often work directly in communities, providing care to individuals experiencing homelessness or lacking access to traditional healthcare. This role requires adaptability, as care often takes place in unpredictable environments such as shelters, parks, or encampments. Building trust with clients who may have had negative experiences with healthcare systems is essential, and nurses must be prepared to assess and respond to both physical and mental health needs with limited resources. Collaboration with outreach teams, social workers, and community organizations is a key part of ensuring comprehensive support for clients.

What is the difference between Street Nurse vs Community Health Worker?

AspectStreet NurseCommunity Health Worker
CredentialsRegistered Nurse (RN) license, nursing certificationVaries; often high school diploma or associate degree, sometimes certifications in health education
Work EnvironmentOutdoors, on the streets, in shelters, and community settingsCommunity centers, homes, clinics, outreach events
Employer & IndustryHospitals, public health agencies, NGOsPublic health departments, NGOs, community organizations
Primary FocusProviding direct healthcare, wound care, health education on the streetsHealth promotion, disease prevention, connecting clients to services

While both roles serve vulnerable populations, Street Nurses focus on direct medical care in outdoor and community settings, requiring nursing credentials. Community Health Workers typically provide health education and support, often with less formal healthcare credentials, working within community-based environments. Both roles are vital in public health but differ mainly in scope, credentials, and work environment.

Job description

Nursing That Feels Personal
At Broad Street Advocates, we do things differently. We believe that nurses give the best care when they have the time, support, and freedom to focus on their patients, not just the paperwork.
This is The Broad Street Way.
We're not a traditional home health agency. We're a nurse-led team that works directly with private-pay families in their homes. Our nurses form real, lasting relationships with the people they support - no rushing, no rotating, and no chart-chasing.
Current Opportunities: Private Duty Nurses (RN)
  • Location: Chicago Northwest Suburbs
  • Pay: Starting at $38-40 LPNs and $40+ RNs per hour, based on experience and case complexity
  • Schedule Options: Day shifts, night shifts, and live-in assignments available

What You'll Do
  • Provide one-on-one nursing care in a private home setting
  • Perform medication management, chronic condition monitoring, and holistic patient support
  • Collaborate with experienced Nurse Case Managers and other Broad Street nurses
  • Deliver person-centered care with the time and space to do it right
  • Engage long-term with Clients and their families, no rotating case load

Why Nurses Choose Broad Street
  • True Nurse Autonomy - Provide the care you were trained for, not just checklists
  • Client-Focused Schedule - Regular, consistent shifts with ongoing Clients
  • Less Paperwork - Private pay means fewer forms, and more focus on care
  • Supportive Team - You're backed by a team of Nurse Case Managers
  • Relationship-Driven - Most Clients stay with us for months or years

What We're Looking For
We're hiring RNs and LPNs who:
  • Are licensed in Illinois and authorized to work in the U.S.
  • Have experience in home care, hospice, or complex private duty nursing
  • Are dependable, compassionate, and collaborative
  • Want to build a relationship, not just pick up a shift
