What Does a Pediatric Private Duty Nurse Do?
A pediatric private duty nurse is a skilled provider of nursing care for young children below the age of 21. Pediatric private duty nurses are responsible for the care of a wide variety of needs for medically fragile newborns, toddlers, school-age children, and teenagers. And because they provide home-based care, patients tend to be more comfortable and have better outcomes than those that are hospitalized away from their loved ones.
With this wide range of those in their care, a pediatric private duty nurse’s duties will vary depending on the needs of the patient. For example, a teenager might only need a few hours of care each day, while younger patients may need assistance for almost every hour of the day.
Furthermore, a pediatric private duty nurse has some of the following responsibilities:
- Make informed observations about a patient’s ongoing health,
- Chart progress/setbacks for healthcare providers (i.e. specialists, physicians) to review
- Administer medication and treatments
