  1. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Can I ask how people get referrals from agencies? One thing I'm not clear about is whether when the agency tells me they have no one to send, that means that they literally have no one looking for...

  2. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    If I'm there and available to pop in, then he wouldn't have nursing care, because my preference is to care for him myself. Now, if I do increase my hours at work, then we'd need a nurse during...

  3. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    He's pretty consistently polite and rational about it, and if the nurse shows him equal respect then he'll listen to their side. At this point, though, he's been asleep through almost all the limited...

  4. If you provide PDN services at school?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    To be clear, we haven't looked for daytime nursing services. Up until this point, we've preferred to cover those hours ourself, but we're at the point where my husband and I need to work more hours...

  5. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Thanks! I hear you on walking that middle ground. If DH and I stray too far in one direction it's definitely on the helicopter side, although we generally only want nursing care when we're planning...

  6. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you! Giving feedback is a great idea. Are there things I could do in the house that would make you feel welcome? I know that pay and leave are issues, but they aren't issues within my...

  7. If you provide PDN services at school?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    I will try the multiple agency strategy, thank you for that. I wonder if there's something I can do to make the job more appealing. I'd really like to find a few consistent people who want to take...

  8. If you provide PDN services at school?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you! We definitely know about juggling schedules. My biggest concern isn't that we'll use up the hours, but that we won't be able to find people, or that the people we find won't meet my...

  9. If you provide PDN services at school?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    No, definitely don't want you not to chart! I asked this in the other forum, but do you ever see the same child both at school and at home? For example, if my kid goes to school for 3 hours, can...

  10. Students with 1:1 nursing

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in School

    Thank you!!!! My son has no cognitive or behavioral issues, but he's got pretty severe arthritis in his hands and wrists, so he can't write, and his stamina for typing is limited. Would taking...

  11. Students with 1:1 nursing

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in School

    Thank you! When you say he has an "agency nurse" do you mean the agency that provides home health care, or a separate agency that the school contracts with? In an ideal world, I'd love to have...
