Private duty nursing job opportunities

Last update: 3/9/10

This Web site is a means of communicating private duty nursing needs of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin patients to independent providers and home health agencies. All available private duty nursing providers are encouraged to check this Web site often for a list of jobs available (Scroll down to find a list of children by location.). Independent providers must be RNs or LPNs who have received a Wisconsin Medicaid Provider number. Consent has been obtained from the child's parent to share information with interested providers.
