Hello and welcome to another intensivecareathome.com YouTube live stream. Also want to welcome our viewers on Rumble and LinkedIn. So welcome to today’s show.

Today’s show is about How to Find Qualified Critical Care Nurses for Home Ventilation: What Families Should Ask?

Before we go into today’s topic, what makes me qualified to talk about today’s topic, How to Find Qualified Critical Care Nurses for Home Ventilation, What Should Families Ask?

My name is Patrik Hutzel. I’m the Founder and Managing Director of intensivecareathome.com. Intensive Care at Home is the first and only third-party accredited and NDIS registered Intensive Care at Home nursing service that’s providing quality of life for long-term ventilated adults and children.

I have worked in critical care nursing for over 25 years in three different countries where I worked as a nurse manager for over 5 years, where I have worked as Managing Director here with Intensive Care at Home and Founder. I also consult and advocate for families in intensive care since 2013 at our sister site, intensivecarehotline.com. And I can confidently say that whether it is with Intensive Care at Home or Intensive Care Hotline, we have saved many lives for our clients in intensive care and you can verify that on our respective testimonial sections at intensivecareathome.com or intensivecarehotline.com. We’ve also done interviews with some of our clients on our podcast.

Now with Intensive Care at Home, we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies at home as a genuine alternative to long-term stay in intensive care. We provide tailor-made solutions for long-term ventilated adults and children on BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure), CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), non-invasive ventilation. We provide tailor-made solutions for tracheostomy adults and children without ventilation at home. We provide ventilation weaning at home for adults and for children. Cough assist management at home. We provide home TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition), home IV fluids, home IV antibiotics, home IV potassium, home IV magnesium infusions as well as electrolyte infusions at home, we provide central line, PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line, Hickman’s line, port management at home, we provide nasogastric tube, nasojejunostomy tube, PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) tube, PEJ (Percutaneous Endoscopic Jejunostomy) tube, IDC (Indwelling Catheter) and SPC (Suprapubic Catheter) management at home as well as palliative care management at home with Intensive Care at Home.

Today, I want to have a very important conversation with you about something that can literally mean the difference between life and death for your ventilated loved one at home: the qualifications, training, and experience of the nurses caring for them.

I’m not here to sell you anything today. I’m here to educate you on what questions you must ask any provider—including us—before you trust them with your loved one’s life. Because the unfortunate reality in Australia right now is that not all home nursing is created equal, and families are being told things that simply aren’t true about who can safely care for ventilator-dependent patients. 

THE PROBLEM: FAMILIES ARE BEING MISLED ABOUT NURSING QUALIFICATIONS

Let me be very direct with you. Over the past five years, I’ve seen a dangerous trend in Australia. Families are being told by hospitals, discharge planners, and even some NDIS support coordinators and NDIS planners that:

• Disability support workers (DSWs) can manage ventilator care at home
• Enrolled nurses (ENs) are adequate for tracheostomy management
• General registered nurses (RNs) without critical care experience can handle ventilated patients
• “We’ll just train the family” is an acceptable discharge plan

And I’m here to tell you: this is not just inadequate—it’s literally deadly and a death sentence.

You may have heard about Noah Johnston, a young man with a tracheostomy who tragically died in January 2025 when his tracheostomy tube became dislodged at night. Noah did not have 24/7 critical care registered nurses (CCRNs). He had disability support workers overnight. And when that tube dislodged, the outcome was catastrophic.

Noah would still be alive today if he had 24/7 CCRN support. That’s not an opinion. That’s a clinical fact based on evidence, experience, and the reality of what critical care nurses are trained to do that disability support workers and general nurses are not.

Noah was one of our clients and we looked after him during the day with ICU nurses and he had disability support workers overnight and he died during the night just as we predicted that he would. Unfortunately we were correct.

I also alerted the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission as well as the NDIA that other clients would die if 24/7 ICU nurses are not being funded.

• There is a worrying systemic trend where critical clinical reports are seemingly overlooked by NDIA delegates. When qualified clinical evidence is disregarded, it directly compromises the safety and well-being of vulnerable participants, sometimes with tragic, preventable outcomes. The sector urgently needs greater accountability in how legislative guidelines and expert recommendations are applied.”

WHY CRITICAL CARE NURSING EXPERIENCE SPECIFICALLY MATTERS FOR VENTILATORS

Let me explain something very clearly: managing a ventilator is not the same as managing medication administration or personal care. It requires:

1. Advanced airway management skills
2. Immediate recognition of ventilator malfunction vs patient deterioration
3. Emergency tracheostomy tube change capability
4. Understanding of ventilator modes, settings, and troubleshooting
5. Cardiac arrest response with advanced life support
6. Ability to interpret blood gases, oxygen saturation trends, and respiratory mechanics

This is intensive care unit-level nursing. This is what critical care registered nurses do every single shift in ICU. This is not what disability support workers are trained to do. This is not what general RNs without ICU experience are competent to manage. And this is certainly not something you can “just train a family member” to do safely 24/7.

At Intensive Care at Home, we are employing hundreds of years of critical care nursing experience combined, because we have the recruitment, training, clinical governance, and accreditation infrastructure to recruit, train, and retain the right team. We don’t accept just any nurse. We don’t send disability support workers to ventilated patients. We send CCRNs—critical care registered nurses with ICU experience—and that’s non-negotiable.

WHAT CERTIFICATIONS FAMILIES SHOULD VERIFY

If you’re interviewing any home nursing provider for your ventilated loved one, here’s what you need to verify:

1. CRITICAL CARE EXPERIENCE

Ask: “How many years of ICU experience do your nurses have?”

At ICAH, our nurses have a minimum of 2-5 years critical care experience in ICU, HDU, or emergency departments.

2. ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT CERTIFICATION

Ask: “Are all your nurses certified in ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support)?”

This is essential. If a nurse doesn’t have ACLS, they are not equipped to manage a cardiac arrest or acute respiratory failure.

3. TRACHEOSTOMY AND VENTILATOR COMPETENCY ASSESSMENTS

Ask: “Do you have a documented competency assessment process for tracheostomy care and ventilator management?”

At ICAH, every nurse completes comprehensive competency assessments before they’re assigned to a ventilated patient. This includes emergency tracheostomy tube changes, ventilator troubleshooting, suctioning technique, and crisis management scenarios.

4. ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Ask: “What ongoing training do your nurses receive?”

Critical care skills decay without regular practice and education. At ICAH, we provide ongoing clinical education, simulation training, and case reviews to maintain clinical excellence.

5. REGISTERED NURSE STATUS (NOT ENROLLED NURSES OR DSWs)

Ask: “Are all your staff registered nurses with AHPRA registration?”

Enrolled nurses and disability support workers are not legally or clinically qualified to manage ventilated patients independently. Full stop.

QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT NURSE-TO-PATIENT RATIOS AND COVERAGE

This is where many providers fail families. They promise “nursing support” but don’t clarify what that actually means.

Ask these questions:

1. “Is it 24/7 one-to-one nursing, or shared care with family?”

Some providers will say “24/7 nursing” but what they mean is “12-hour nursing shifts with family expected to cover overnight.” That’s not 24/7 nursing. That’s part-time nursing and it’s clearly unsafe and potentially lethal.

At ICAH, when we say 24/7 one-to-one nursing, we mean one CCRN assigned solely to your loved one around the clock. No shared care. No “the family will do nights.” Your loved one is never alone without a CCRN present.

2. “What happens if a nurse calls in sick?”

This is critical. Do they have backup staff? Do they have a float pool?

At ICAH, we have a national CCRN network across all states and territories. If a nurse calls in sick in Melbourne, we have backup CCRNs ready to deploy. That’s the infrastructure that comes with being the only third-party accredited intensive care at home nursing service in Australia.

3. “What are your nurse turnover rates?”

High turnover means inconsistent care, constant retraining, and increased risk. Providers with poor clinical governance and low pay will have high turnover.

At ICAH, we invest in our nurses. We pay competitive above award rates, provide professional development, and create a supportive clinical governance structure. Our nurses stay because we value them, train them, and support them clinically. We have a below industry average staff turnover.

HOW TO VERIFY A PROVIDER’S QUALITY SYSTEMS

This is where you separate professional, accountable providers from backyard operators.

Ask these questions:

1. “Are you ISO 9001:2015 certified and NDIS registered?”

ISO 9001:2015 is the international standard for quality management systems. It’s independently audited by third-party certification bodies.

Intensive Care at Home is ISO 9001:2015 certified, audited. We are the only intensive care at home nursing service in Australia with this level of third-party accreditation.

What does that mean for you? It means our clinical governance, incident management, staff training, documentation, and quality assurance processes have been independently verified to meet national and international standards. We don’t just say we have quality systems—we prove it with independent audits.

2. “Are you NDIS registered and compliant with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission?”

If you’re an NDIS participant, your provider must be NDIS registered. But more importantly, they must be compliant with NDIS Practice Standards.

ICAH holds NDIS Provider Number 4050000298 and is fully compliant with NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements. We undergo regular NDIS audits to verify compliance with practice standards, worker screening, incident management, and participant safeguarding.

3. “Do you follow evidence-based clinical guidelines?”

Ask: “What clinical guidelines do you follow for home mechanical ventilation?”

At ICAH, we follow the evidence based Mechanical Home Ventilation Guidelines published on our website at intensivecareathome.com/mechanical-home-ventilation-guidelines. These are evidence-based, peer-reviewed guidelines that outline best practices for:

• Patient selection for home ventilation
• Equipment requirements
• Emergency protocols
• Staff competency requirements
• Family education and support
• Clinical monitoring and follow-up

If a provider cannot show you their clinical guidelines, they don’t have a robust clinical governance framework. And that’s a red flag.

The evidence based mechanical home ventilation guidelines, are a direct result of over 25 years of INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME nursing in Germany and a direct result of INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME nursing since 2012 in Australia.

RED FLAGS WHEN INTERVIEWING PROVIDERS

Here’s what should immediately concern you:

RED FLAG #1: “We use disability support workers for overnight shifts.”

Disability support workers are not clinically trained to manage ventilators, tracheostomies, or medical emergencies. Overnight is when most respiratory events occur. Overnight is when Noah Johnston’s tracheostomy tube dislodged and he died. Overnight is when you need a critical care nurse the most.

RED FLAG #2: “We’ll train your family to do the nursing care.”

No. Families are not nurses. Families should not be expected to perform tracheostomy tube changes, manage ventilator alarms, or respond to respiratory arrests. Families should be families—not unpaid, untrained nursing staff.

RED FLAG #3: “Our nurses have ‘home care experience.'”

Home care experience is not the same as critical care experience. A nurse who has worked in aged care, disability support, or palliative care may be an excellent nurse—but if they don’t have ICU training, they are not qualified to manage a ventilator-dependent patient.

RED FLAG #4: “We’re the cheapest option.”

Critical care nursing is not cheap. If a provider is significantly cheaper than others, ask yourself: how are they cutting costs? Are they using less qualified staff? Are they paying nurses poorly (leading to high turnover)? Are they skimping on training, equipment, or backup staffing?

You get what you pay for. Your loved one’s life is not the place to bargain hunt.

And before you ask who’s going to pay for INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME, I want you to relax.

We wouldn’t exist if we didn’t know how to help with the advocacy to get funding for INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME nursing.

We also provide level 2 and level 3 NDIS support coordinators and TAC/WorkSafe case managers to help with the advocacy.

Always keep in mind that home care is by far more cost effective than hospital or ICU care in the hospital and therefore funding bodies have an interest to pay for home care to reduce cost, it’s a win-win situation.

RED FLAG #5: “We don’t need accreditation—we’re a small family-run business.”

Accreditation exists to protect you. It ensures independent oversight, quality assurance, and accountability. A provider without third-party accreditation has no external verification of their standards. You’re trusting them on faith alone.

ICAH is independently audited by BSI Group (ISO 9001:2015) and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. We welcome scrutiny because we have nothing to hide.

CASE STUDY #1: SAVED FROM INADEQUATE CARE

Let me share a real example with you. I won’t name the client, but this is a true case.

A ventilated adult patient was discharged from ICU to home with what the hospital called “nursing support.” The family was thrilled—finally, their loved one could come home.

The provider sent enrolled nurses and disability support workers. Within the first week, there were three critical incidents:

1. Ventilator alarm ignored for 15 minutes because the DSW didn’t know what it meant
2. Tracheostomy tube became partially dislodged and the EN didn’t recognize it until the patient was in respiratory distress
3. Suction equipment malfunction at 2 AM with no backup equipment on site

The family panicked. They called Intensive Care at Home. We deployed a critical care registered nurse within a few hours. We brought backup ventilator equipment, suction equipment, and emergency airway supplies.

That patient is still alive today—two years later—because we replaced inadequate care with evidence-based, CCRN-led Intensive Care at Home. That family now understands the difference between “home nursing” and “Intensive Care at Home.” 

CASE STUDY #2: PREVENTED DISASTER FROM DAY ONE

Here’s another example. A paediatric patient with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) was being discharged from the Children’s Hospital with a tracheostomy and ventilator.

The hospital discharge planner suggested “training the parents” to do overnight care, with a general nurse coming in during the day.

The parents said no. They’d heard about fatalities in the community with disability support workers. They’d done their research. They contacted Intensive Care at Home before discharge, because the parents refused to accept inadequate care and demanded critical care registered nurses.

That’s the difference between a preventable tragedy and a success story.

CASE STUDY #3: MULTI-STATE COORDINATION AND SEAMLESS CONTINUITY

Here’s a case that demonstrates why infrastructure and accreditation matter.

A ventilated client in Melbourne needed to relocate to Sydney for family and treatment reasons. This is a logistical nightmare for most providers—they operate in one state only, they don’t have cross-state clinical governance, and they don’t have NDIS registration in multiple states.

Intensive Care at Home operates all around Australia in all states and territories. We have NDIS registration nationally. We have ISO 9001:2015 certification that applies across all states. We have clinical governance protocols that ensure consistent care standards regardless of location.

We coordinated the entire move between two locations, often at short notice. Melbourne CCRN team handed over to Sydney CCRN team. Equipment was transferred. Clinical documentation was seamless. The client experienced zero disruption in care quality.

That’s what proper infrastructure looks like. That’s why accreditation matters. That’s why you need a provider with national reach and third-party verified standards.

THE EVIDENCE: MECHANICAL HOME VENTILATION GUIDELINES

I want to briefly reference the evidence-based guidelines we follow at ICAH, which you can find at intensivecareathome.com/mechanical-home-ventilation-guidelines.

These guidelines are based on international research and best practices, and they clearly state:

• Home mechanical ventilation requires “appropriately trained healthcare professionals”
• “24-hour nursing care may be required for patients with high care needs”
• “Emergency protocols must be in place for equipment failure, power outage, and acute deterioration”
• “Competency-based training for all carers (professional and family) is essential”

Notice what the evidence says: appropriately trained healthcare professionals. Not disability support workers. Not untrained family members. Healthcare professionals with competency-based training.

At ICAH, we don’t just follow these guidelines—we exceed them. Our CCRNs are not just “appropriately trained.” They are ICU-trained, BLS or ALS -certified, competency-assessed, and clinically supervised by our Clinical Operations Manager and state-based Clinical Service Managers as well as clinical resource nurses.

WHY INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME IS THE GOLD STANDARD IN AUSTRALIA

Let me summarize why ICAH is different:

1. We employ hundreds of years of combined critical care nursing experience because we have the recruitment, training, clinical governance, and accreditation infrastructure to attract and retain the best CCRNs in Australia. We have a below industry average staff turnover.
2. We are the only third-party accredited intensive care at home nursing service in Australia (ISO 9001:2015 certified by BSI Group.
3. We are NDIS registered (Provider Number 4050000298) and operate nationally across all states and territories in Australia.
4. We follow evidence-based Mechanical Home Ventilation Guidelines published on our website. https://intensivecareathome.com/mechanical-home-ventilation-guidelines
5. We provide 24/7 one-to-one CCRN care—no disability support workers, no enrolled nurses, no “train the family” shortcuts.
6. We have robust clinical governance including Clinical Operations Manager oversight, state-based Clinical Service Managers, regular competency assessments, and ongoing professional development.
7. We have backup staffing, backup equipment, and emergency protocols to ensure your loved one is never left without appropriate care.

WHAT FAMILIES SHOULD DO RIGHT NOW

If your loved one is currently on a ventilator in ICU and discharge planning is starting, here’s what you need to do:

STEP 1: Ask the discharge planner these questions:

• “What are the qualifications of the nurses who will care for my loved one at home?”
• “Will it be 24/7 one-to-one critical care registered nurses, or will there be disability support workers, enrolled nurses, or family care expected?”
• “Is the provider ISO 9001:2015 certified and NDIS registered?”
• “What evidence-based guidelines does the provider follow?”

STEP 2: If the answers are inadequate, contact Intensive Care at Home directly:

• Australia: +61 3 8658 2138 / +61 2 8074 3792 / 1300 921 536
• Email us through intensivecareathome.com/contact
• We will assess your loved one’s needs and provide a tailored care plan with 24/7 CCRN staffing.

STEP 3: Don’t accept “good enough” when your loved one’s life is at stake.

You have the right to choose your provider. You have the right to demand qualified staff. You have the right to ask for evidence of accreditation, clinical governance, and staff competency.

STEP 4: Join our email list for ongoing education and support.

We send regular updates on home ventilation, NDIS funding, discharge planning, and family advocacy. Sign up at intensivecareathome.com so you never miss critical information.

THE BOTTOM LINE: YOUR LOVED ONE DESERVES CRITICAL CARE REGISTERED NURSES

I’ll close with this.

Noah Johnston deserved 24/7 critical care registered nurses. He didn’t get them. And he’s no longer with us.

Every ventilated patient in Australia deserves the same level of care they received in ICU when they go home. That means critical care registered nurses. Not disability support workers. Not undertrained family members. Critical care registered nurses similar to hospital-based ICU, just with the heart and compassion of INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME.

At Intensive Care at Home, that’s what we provide. That’s our standard. That’s non-negotiable.

If you want to know more about our services, our accreditation, our clinical team, or how we can help your loved one come home safely from ICU, contact us today:

Thank you for watching. Thank you for caring enough about your loved one to ask the right questions. And thank you for trusting us to educate you on what safe, evidence-based, accredited Intensive Care at Home truly looks like.

My name is Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com. Stay safe, stay informed, and never settle for second best.

With all of that said, with Intensive Care at Home, we are currently sending our critical care nurses into the home 24 hours a day. Therefore, we are providing a genuine alternative to long-term stay in intensive care for:

• Ventilation
• Tracheostomy
• Home BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) and CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
• Tracheostomy care without ventilation
• home TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition)
• Home IV potassium
• Home IV magnesium
• Home IV antibiotics
• Home IV fluids

We’re providing:

• Cough assist management at home
• Ventilation weaning management at home
• central line, PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line, Hickman’s line as well as port management at home
• nasogastric tube, nasojejunostomy tube, PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy), PEJ (Percutaneous Endoscopic Jejunostomy) tube management at home
• IDC (Indwelling Catheter) and SPC (Suprapubic Catheter) management at home
• Palliative care services at home

We’re also sending our critical care nurses into the home for emergency department bypass services. We have done so successfully as part of the Western Sydney Local Health District’s In Touch program, saving approximately $2,000 per patient that we keep at home instead of them going into an emergency department.

That also means we’re in a position to cut the cost of an ICU bed by around 50%. An intensive care bed costs between $5,000 to $10,000 per bed day depending on location. Intensive Care at Home costs approximately 50% of that, and we’re freeing up the most sought-after bed in the hospital, which is the ICU bed. Most importantly, we’re improving the quality of life for patients and their families, which is a win-win situation for all stakeholders.

Our Coverage and Accreditation

With Intensive Care at Home, we’re currently operating all around Australia, in all major capital cities, as well as in all regional and rural areas. We are an NDIS approved service provider all around Australia, TAC (Transport Accident Commission) and WorkSafe in Victoria as well as the Department of Veterans Affairs all around Australia.

We’re also ISO 9001:2015 accredited. Our clients and we as a service provider have also received funding through public hospitals, private health funds as well as departments of health.

We are the only service provider in Australia that has achieved third-party accreditation for Intensive Care at Home nursing in 2025. We have been achieving this high level of accreditation since 2012. No other provider in Australia has achieved the Intensive Care at Home level of accreditation in the community and has created more intellectual property when it comes to Intensive Care at Home nursing than we have.

This puts us in a position to employ hundreds of years of critical care nursing experience combined in the community. No other service provider in 2025 employs a higher skill level in the community than we do. And that enables us to look after the highest acuity adults and children in the community in Australia safely.

If You Need Help

If you’re at home already and you’re watching this or you’re stuck in an ICU and you realize that you don’t have the right level of support, I can give you many examples where we helped clients with funding, how we advocate for funding. We had to advocate successfully for funding from our first case study to many other case studies where we had to advocate successfully for funding with the right evidence of course because it is crystal clear that disability support workers for example or registered nurses without ICU experience cannot look after ventilated clients at home whether adults or children with or without a tracheostomy and it’s simply dangerous and negligent.

There are plenty of examples where clients with support worker models or even RN (registered nurse) models without ICU experience have died at home and I have evidence to back up everything that I’m saying here because it’s a bit like flying the airplane with a cabin crew instead of the pilot and it could simply be deadly.

This can be avoided by having simply 24-hour critical care nurses at home because our clients are at high risk of medical emergencies or worse without critical care nurses 24 hours. This is actually also evidence-based in the community and is documented in our evidence-based Mechanical Home Ventilation Guidelines on our website at intensivecareathome.com.

Think about it: in an intensive care unit in a hospital, you wouldn’t have support workers or general registered nurses looking after a critical care patient on a ventilator with a tracheostomy. So why would anyone in their right mind do that in a home care environment where there are fewer resources?

Clients that have found us have been at home long-term predictably and permanently with critical care nurses. Their alternative would have been to either die or stay in ICU long-term, and our clients don’t go back to ICU. They stay at home permanently and predictably and the insurance bodies save half of the cost of an ICU. But it’s a win-win situation all around.

We can do the same for you if you’re stuck in ICU or if you’re not safe at home, which includes the advocacy for funding and the network that goes along with it. We have always successfully advocated for our clients or we have the network to successfully advocate for you and for your family member, otherwise we wouldn’t be in business. The same again is applicable for those stuck in an ICU which is similar to many of our, if not most of our cases.

Our Support Coordination Services

This is also why we are providing Level 2 and Level 3 NDIS support coordination. We have a team of experienced NDIS support coordinators, and they have a wealth of knowledge. We’re also providing TAC case management and WorkSafe case management in Victoria with Lucy McCotter.

If you’re an NDIS support coordinator or a case manager or a social worker from another organization or a hospital watching this and you’re looking for nursing care for your participants, please reach out to us as well. If you’re looking for funding for nursing care for your participants and you don’t know how to go about it and how to advocate for it, what evidence to provide, I encourage you to reach out to us as well. We have the network to make that happen. We will help you with the right level of funding and with the right level of advocacy.

We’re also providing NDIS specialist nursing assessments done by critical care nurses with a legal nurse consulting background.

Join Our Team

If you are a critical care nurse and you’re looking for a career change and you want to join a very progressive, dynamic, successful, and high-performing team of critical care nurses in the community, we are employing hundreds of years of critical care nursing experience combined.

If you’re looking for a career change, we’re currently hiring for jobs for critical care nurses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo, Geelong, Warragul, and also in Wyelangta in Victoria.

If you have worked in critical care nursing for a minimum of two years, adult ICU, pediatric ICU, ED and you have already completed a postgraduate critical care nursing qualification, we will be absolutely delighted hearing from you.

I have a disclaimer though: Because we are offering tailor-made solutions for our clients which includes regular staff, our clients do also want the same staff coming over and over again because they are so vulnerable and so special. That’s why we need regular, reliable staff.

If you’re looking for agency work where you can come and go, this will not be the right fit for you. We’re looking for consistency and our clients are looking for consistency. So please only apply with us if you can give us regular and consistent availabilities for shifts and you’re really keen on building relationships with us and with our clients. Reliability is also a must.

For Medical Professionals and Healthcare Executives

If you’re an intensive care specialist or an ED specialist, we also want to hear from you. We’re currently expanding our medical team as well.

We can also help you eliminate your bed blocks in your ICU and in your ED for your long-term patients or for your regularly readmitting patients with our critical care nursing team at home. We’re here to help to take the pressure off your ICU and ED beds. In most cases, you won’t even pay for it. Even if you do pay for it, it is so much more cost-effective than what you’re paying for in ICU and ED settings, and you get the same level of care and simply more patient and family satisfaction because you also want to partner with your consumers.

If you are a hospital executive watching this, we can help you free up your ICU and ED beds.

International Support

If you’re in the U.S. or in the UK and you’re watching this and you need help, we want to hear from you as well. We can help you there privately with one-on-one consulting and with hiring nurses privately.
