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 a contractor 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 a rise ( in the 1980’s) of wider-scale nurse entrepreneurs.
Non-medical nursing care on the other hand is most often 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 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.
