Private duty nursing, like home health nurses, provides care to patients in their homes.
Generally, home nursing care patients have serious conditions that require experienced nursing skills and professional judgment.
Patients may be using a feeding tube for medication and nutrition, on a ventilator, or require a nurse to assess their condition.
Typically, a private nurse sees the same patients regularly and works a scheduled shift, often the day shift.
Many patients who receive private-duty nursing require additional support or care.
Typical skills and responsibilities include:
Key Skills and Responsibilities
Taking a patient's vital signs and updating their electronic health records
Communicating any changes or patient needs to other clinical staff
Supervising the work of CNAs or home health aides
Making sure that medical equipment is functioning well
