Hiring an RN for Private Duty Nursing Jobs vs. Hiring a Health Aide
October 28th, 2009 by admin
There is no doubt that for Private Duty Nursing Jobs, hiring a registered nurse is best. However, you need to ask your doctor if you really need the services of an RN or whether a health aide would be sufficient for your in-house medical care requirements. If you are recovering from major surgery, you would probably require an RN for home nursing care since he or she is better equipped to perform duties such as dressing wounds or inserting an intravenous catheter for the delivery of medication. A nurse also has the ability to spot complications in your situation. But if all you need is someone to assist you during meals or to help you change clothes or take a bath, then a health aide is probably sufficient.
