When I was a student, I did one my my rotations with a public health nurse that specialized in children with special needs. I saw all kinds of tough cases with children that had some tough disabilities. I also monitored children that had mothers with substance abuse problems, teaching well baby/child stuff, etc. It was fun, sad at times, but definately a good learning experience.
Up until the end of January I was Clin. Coord. for a "nation wide, NASDAQ traded", peds agency, in their smallest office (
Anyway, the afore mentioned agency has offices in NJ and surrounding States, PM me, I'll give you the name. I am still 100% loyal to the Company, my new Director led to my exit.

Hi! I was just curious if anyone does pediatric home care, skilled nursing visits. I am somewhat interested in this area, but have tried private duty and didn't really care for it. What is it like? Do you have to go to a lot of bad areas? If so, do you get an escort? Are home health nurses usually salaried or paid per visit? How does it compare to bedside nursing which I can't stand? I did a semester of it in nursing school and liked it but just wondering how it is in the real world! I've read a lot of posts here but any info would be great!
