Hello, and welcome to our articles series on The Ultimate Guide to Private Nursing Care. The primary aim of this article series is to provide our readers with valuable information, a checklist, useful tips, and great takeaway points when you or your loved one is dealing with many health issues.
Today, we will discuss nursing care, in particular, private nursing care.
Private Nursing Care
Private nursing care is provided by an RN (Registered Nurse) or LPN ( Licensed Practical Nurse). Most nurses who provide medical nursing care are usually working one-on-one with individual clients. Sometimes such care is provided in the client’s home or at an institution such as a hospital, nursing home, or other related facilities.
Private duty nursing care may be paid privately or by group insurance. Many private duty nurses work as contractors, and many work in the ever-growing field of Home Health Care. The practice of private duty nursing was, in many senses, a precursor to the rise ( in the 1980s) of wider-scale nurse entrepreneurs.
Non-medical nursing care, on the other hand, is most often provided by unlicensed assistive personnel such as nurse aides, patient sitters, professional homemakers, personal support workers, caregivers, or other titles.
These caregivers often do minor housekeeping chores for their clients. One very important distinction between medical and non-medical nursing care is that skilled nursing care can only be performed by professional nurses, RN (Registered Nurse) or LPN ( Licensed Practical Nurse), and non-medical care can be provided by non-regulated health providers such as PAB, licensed support workers, and trained caregivers.
