Nursing Resources

At the December 13 meeting, the topic of home nursing was brought up. There was discussion around the difficulty of finding qualified nurses and - if a family does find a good nurse - the expense.

It would be interesting to hear more on how parents deal with this issue; how couples find time for themselves and get a break from the daily routine of care.

We'd also like to hear input on the possibility of creating a list of nurses. Are there nurses that families have had good luck with - nurses that are well qualified, reliable and would be willing to help other families? What kind of rates do these nurses or agencies usually charge?

Would parents post their feedback by clicking on "comments" below. Thanks!
