I a nurse consultant for ICF-DDN. ( Intermediate care facility) These facilities require a certain amount of nursing hours per week. I live in California. I think they have the facilities everywhere. I visit each place 2x a week do monthly summarys, monitor health problems and do alot of staff education. I would google ICF-DDN. Try and find out if there are any of these places close to you. It is great work and I make my own schedule.

I think it is good for the education. I have worked in the DD field for 12 years and have never been asked for a certificate. If you work in the field getting you CEUs in DD nursing is good. The DDNA conference is a great resource

Look up ICF/ DDH-N in your community, these facilities need 8 hours a day of nursing and they usually hire LVNs

google developmental disability nursing in your area. group homes and small ICF facilities will post job openings. go to the DDNA conference. contact your local regional center, they can direct you or give you info. I have been doing this for 15 years and I LOVE IT! GOOD LUCK
