Find Out How to Fit In and Stand Out On Our Private Duty Nursing Team
Working one-on-one in a child or young adult’s home, a private duty nurse is a primary point of contact for daily support and care. As a nurse in this role, you’ll implement a unique treatment plan based on the young patient’s needs, often providing specialized forms of healthcare that most nurses never get to experience. You will forge deep bonds with the families you work with and have the privilege of following your patients through the many milestones of growing up.
It takes a special kind of dedication and compassion to succeed in pediatric private duty nursing. At Phoenix Home Care & Hospice, those are the qualities we’re looking for. We distinguish ourselves from other private duty nursing agencies near you by hiring an extraordinarily skilled team that is committed to providing the best quality of life possible for the children and young adults who need us.
Team Phoenix is looking for candidates who bring energy to their role, have an interest in specialized medical care, and possess the ability to go above and beyond to make connections with young people and their families. Does this sound like you?
Private Duty Nurses Should Be Passionate About Serving Young People With Specialized Needs
If you’re considering working in pediatric nursing, your job will involve a particularly unique group of patients. These young people have conditions or specialized needs that prevent them from participating in a lifestyle that most others their age are experiencing.
Private duty nurses should understand this and, while delivering care, demonstrate their commitment to playing a role in making their experience special and rewarding. The ideal private duty nurse candidate should be driven to learn how to communicate at the young person’s level, integrate care into their daily routine, and ensure patients feel seen, heard, and cared for.
Having a major health condition as a young person can be particularly hard, and nurses seek to help their families feel as comforted and supported as possible.
A Willingness to Expand Your Nursing Knowledge Is a Must
The expertise required to provide nursing care for children and young adults isn’t something that everyone learns or practices in nursing school. Pediatric private duty nurses choose to take classes in this specialty and gain field experience delivering specific forms of healthcare, including total parenteral nutrition (TPN), ventilator management, tracheostomy care, assisted coughing, and more.
Depending on the child’s needs, there may be other daily treatment requirements, and you should be up for the challenge of learning and tackling them all.
At Phoenix, you’ll join a private duty nursing team who goes all-in on their professional development and training to feel confident in providing care. Your certainty inspires confidence in patients and their families, so it is critical to bring a high level of knowledge and experience to every visit.
Private Duty Nurses Know Caring For a Young Person Involves the Family
Although as a private duty nurse you may only be assigned to provide care for a child or young adult, the entire family is experiencing worries and concerns that come with having a family member with specialized needs.
We seek nurses who understand this truth and believe that healthcare for young people includes the whole family. Excellent communication, the ability to educate on providing continuous care on their own, and positive energy and thoughtfulness can all make our patient families feel reassured and uplifted.
