What background is required for that?
Must be RN. Basically, that’s it. You’re not doing a physical assessment of the patient, i.e., VS, lung sounds, etc. You assess their environment and their need for assistance, based on their cognition and ability to care for themselves. It’s for long term care insurance, either home care or nursing home/assisted living needs. As I said, it’s very part time. Probably less so if you live in a large metropolitan area. My closest big city is Tulsa, about 50 miles away, and I was not the only nurse in this area, so sometimes I wouldn’t have any calls for several weeks, then I may have 4 in a month. There’s no lifting, no physical care of any kind.
