Personal Nurse Resume
Some patients suffering with age-related problems, injury, or chronic illness need lifetime care. As hospitalization for such a long time is not affordable, they prefer to take medical treatment at their homes. To manage their health, they hire personal nurses. These nurses visit them through nurse staffing agency. They may also be asked to care for the patients at homes by hospitals. Some may even prefer to work an an independent contractor. The job is offered to a CNA (certified nursing assistant), LPN( Licensed Practical Nurse), and RN (Registered Nurses).
Working a personal nurse requires good clinical experience and communication skills. Since she will be alone caring for the home-bound patients, she must know what to do when any medical situation arises.
