Private Nurses questions and answers
Got questions about Private Nurses, well we've got the answers at Nursing Online Learning.
Q: How are private doctors and nurses paid?
Who sets up the salary of doctors and nurses in private practices? Is it the lead doctor that considers ths salary? Is it by hour or by the procedure and appointments? I have seen the receipts I get after every appointment listing the charges through insurance for my exam and tests. That would mean that they would bring in a different amount of money every week/month/year. So how do salaries stay stable?
A: Are you in the US? For a private practice, the doctor or doctors are generally self-employed owners of the practice, so they get paid their share (if it's a group) of the money collected from patients and insurance companies, minus the expenses of running the practice. And yes, their income could vary from year to year, or from week to week.
Nurses are generally employees of the practice, so get salary or hourly wages just like any other job.
Q: How much do private duty nurses make and how much do Nurse practitioners make?
I am studying to get my masters in nursing and am wondering what are some good and lucrative fields to get into.
A: 25-27 per visit hour.
Q: Do Planned Parenthood nurses make much less than private practice nurses?
Everything is much cheaper at Planned Parenthood, so I am assuming the nurse practitioners get payed much less....
But then I also consider that the government pays them $330 million dollars per year. And they might make up for the cheap prices with the fact that they get huge business. They get all the minors that that come in that don't want to tell their parents they need birth control pills.
How much do they get paid compared to private practice nurse practitioners?
A: They actually deserve less for even being in that weird and corrupt organization, founded by Margaret Sangar, one of the most bizarre persons in the history of the human race (and PP is always having to cover for her or make people forget about her).
Q: What kind of questions to ask a Private Nurse?
My dad is coming back from the hospital after surgery and we need to start interviewing some private nurses to take care of him. What kind of questions do I need to ask a private nurse?
What kind of information do I need to get from the surgeon and his doctor to help with this kind of thing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
A: I would make sure that you ask how available she will be for your father. Will she be staying with him 24 hours a day or will she just be coming for an hour or so every other day? If she is not staying with him, you might want to ask her how to get ahold of her in case of an emergency. I would ask her what kind of nursing background she has, how many years, and in what departments. If you father has had surgery- he probably has a wound- you would want to make sure that she is comfortable performing wound care and assessing for infection. Get it straight from the very beginning what she expects as well- if you need to provide supplies, what kind of care she usually provides to patients as well as what care you expect her to give. Does she do the bathing and help with other activities of daily living herself or does she have another aid who comes to do those things? Also ask if she is a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse... don't get me wrong- LPNs are very good- I used to by one myself but RNs can better assess why things are happening and how other systems can become affected. Your surgeon and doctor should at least know where to refer you for home care services... in most situations, they can even set this up for you. I work in a physician's office and in an infusion center. We set up home care for patients all the time through a specific agency (where you know the nurse's have also had background checks). Most times, this is covered by the patient's insurance company, and as long as they are recieving nursing care in the home, they are also eligible for other home services such as physical therapy, respiratory therapy, and home care aids who can help with cooking and cleaning. Hope this helps... wasn't sure exactly what kind of questions you were thinking of asking so I kind of rattled stuff off in a very unorganized way! Good luck!

Q: what are the differences of public and private nurses?
A: Private nurses are very sexy. Tight butt, big boobs, fishnet stockings and very red lips. Public nurses are the common nurse you see.
Q: what are the duties and responsibilities of private duty nurses?
A: Depends upon why a private duty nurse is needed.
If it is for someone who needs an ICU but has the money to do it at home, your duties are pretty much the same as working in an ICU. Sometimes they are hired to provide a care at the hospital as the family feels the hospital provides inadequate care.
However, sometimes rich people want a private duty nurse to administer their medications, clean their butts, etc. In this case you would be doing pretty much what they want. The money may be worth it for some.

Q: Do private nurses think when the person that they are care for dies that they will get some of their money?
I know someone's wife use to spend time on her own with some old fella that she was caring for. After her hours were done, she would spend more time. Comes to find out that she tried to get the house after he died, but a long lost neice took her to court and got the house.
A: My sister and my brother in law did that type of personal care for years, and they did it as unto the Lord, not unto a will and envy over what the ill person had.

Q: Please direct to nurses. Need clarification of liability in regards to private infusion.?
I have been asked to give an infusion in a patients home. There is a doctor's order and I do have private RN liability insurance. I have never done this without working for a company. How much liability am I assuming by not working for a company and doing this on my own. The infusion is safe but it is not covered by insurance and therefore the patient needs to pay privately for the infusion. FYI: the infusion is Meyer's Cocktail.
A: Im not exactly sure what you are asking, but If i assume correctly then i would not do anything you feel uncomfortable doing as you are 100% liable for your actions and without a company or organization to help you out it is too risky. Use your own discretion

Q: what are the differences between private and public nurses?
A: On the whole, not much.
The nurses in the public system are much more a part of the treatment team and politically have a fair bit more clout. They interact with the treatment team of the consultant and his/her bevy of junior doctors and the allied health professionals and are primarily the advocates for the patients. They do their set of nursing duties (and more) but there are many things such as nasogastric insertions, indwelling catheter insertions etc that they would get the junior doctors to do.
The nurses in the private systems ARE the treating team, but I get the impression that politically they are a little bit under the thumb of the admin and medical heirarchies. They tend to run things on the wards and don't have any readily available junior doctors about (except in private ICU). They would insert NGT and IDC usually. They do things according to a protocol and they then call the private consultants instead of finding the junior doctors.
There are home nursing set ups in private and public health systems in Australia.
