This website is a means of communicating private duty nursing needs of Children's Wisconsin patients to independent providers and home health agencies. All available private duty nursing providers are encouraged to check this website 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.
For more information about becoming an independent nurse provider, visit www.wisconsinphp.org.

Pediatric ventilator certification and recertification courses are held MONTHLY at Children's Wisconsin. Pre-registration is required.
