What Is a Private Duty Nurse?
A private duty nurse is a licensed medical professional, typically a Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), who provides skilled care in a home environment. These services are more advanced than general home care and are ideal for clients managing:
- Post-operative recovery
- Complex health conditions like Parkinson’s or ALS
- Ventilator support or tracheostomy
- IV therapy and medication administration
- Feeding tubes, catheters, and chronic illness oversight
Think of them as a bridge between hospital-level services and daily life at home.
