support groups for nurses

Does it have to be support group solely made up of nurses? Might be easier to find a support group specific to the illness, not the profession of the group members who also are experiencing the illness either themselves or with others.

I'm not sure, right now I'm casting a net. My mother has a very rare disease, and I'm pretty sure there is nothing out there for that. Maybe a care giver group? Although I'm not her caregiver, even though as a nurse I have some knowledge of that. I feel that it would not be a good thing at all for me to actively participate in the nursing end of her care, I just want to be a support to her as a daughter. I'd appreciate any suggestions you could give me. Thanks.

Is it a life-limiting illness, that is, is it a terminal illness?

There are support groups for hospice patients.

Are you referring to an in-home care nurse type deal?

If that is what you're referring to, then I would suggest looking into Bayada Nurses Home Care. I've seen them advertise on the TV a lot, and I've heard nothing bad about the people I know that use their services (the elderly in my family).

As far as I know they have in home LPN/RN and HHAH's as well. I'd defiantly look into them!
