I just recently started a long term pediatric private duty case. This case is Monday through Friday 2:30pm to 10:30pm. My patient is 10 years old and will be with this company until she dies or whatever may happen. The client resides 30 minutes away from my home. I am so excited to be working again. I just thought I'd share my joy.

By the way I am a LVN.

Why would you need a business license? As long as you have your license transferred to California that's all you'd need.

I work doing private duty through a company. Some call it home health care while others say private duty.

Update: I no longer work for this case mentioned above. I still work for the company that gave me the case mentioned above but now work for a new family. I've been working for this new family for a month as of now.??

I like to always work in at least two families. That way, if one is unavailable, I still have current hours. Unavailable can mean a vacation, a hospitalization, they moved away, or my client died.

Unavailable can also mean that the parents want a different nurse. It happens. It's happened to me three times, although one of those times, it wasn't against me; it was because the parents wanted a specific nurse, and we couldn't both work at the same time.

I have been a LVN for five years. For most of those years I didn't have a car, so all I really could do was pediatric nursing because the companies didn't require me to have car. I have been let go of cases because the family didn't feel comfortable with me taking caring of their child and that's what the company would tell me with some cases and others I didn't know why I was let go. Once I got a car I was given more permenant cases.

Without a car, how did you get to work? My kiddos live all over, some in the city, but many out in the boondocks. I've had very few that I could have gotten to without a car.

Once you got a car, I'm sure a lot more opportunities opened up.

I would get to work by taking the bus. Once I got a car I was given more permenant cases.
