What Is a Private Duty Nurse?
A Private Duty Nurse (PDN) is a Registered Nurse who provides skilled, one-on-one clinical care directly in a patient’s home. You are not managing a floor of eight patients. You are focused entirely on one patient per shift, building a genuine clinical relationship and delivering a level of personalized care that no hospital setting can replicate.
Private duty nursing is especially suited to RNs who value clinical depth, patient connection, and autonomy. You work from a care plan set by the attending physician, you communicate directly with the patient’s care team, and you make real-time clinical decisions that directly affect your patient’s quality of life.
As a Private Duty Nurse through Nursing Done Right, your core responsibilities include:
- Administering medications and IV therapies per physician orders
- Performing comprehensive patient assessments and updating care plans
- Managing complex clinical needs including ventilators, tracheostomies, and feeding tubes
- Coordinating care with physicians, specialists, and patient families
- Supervising LPNs and Home Health Aides assigned to the same patient
- Educating patients and family members on safe home care practices
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, home health nursing is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the nursing profession. The Bronx, with its large and medically underserved population, sits at the heart of that demand in New York City.
How Private Duty Nurse Jobs in the Bronx NY Serve a Community That Needs You
The Bronx is the only borough of New York City attached to the mainland of the United States, and it is one of the most clinically complex and underserved communities in the country. Understanding the Bronx means understanding why skilled private duty nurses here are not just filling jobs – they are making a measurable difference in people’s lives.
A Borough With High Home Care Demand
The Bronx has one of the highest rates of chronic illness in New York State. Conditions including asthma, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease are prevalent across neighborhoods from Mott Haven and Hunts Point in the south to Riverdale and Woodlawn in the north. Patients managing these conditions at home require consistent, skilled nursing oversight to stay stable and out of the emergency room.
Major medical centers including Montefiore Medical Center on Gun Hill Road and Lincoln Medical Center on Southern Boulevard regularly discharge complex patients to home-based care. These patients frequently require the level of clinical skill that only a Registered Nurse can provide, and the demand for qualified PDNs in the Bronx consistently exceeds the available supply.
Neighborhoods We Cover Across the Bronx
Our Bronx office at 1363 Jerome Ave places nurses in assignments throughout the entire borough:
- South Bronx: Mott Haven, Hunts Point, Melrose, Port Morris
- Central Bronx: Fordham, University Heights, Morris Heights, Highbridge

- East Bronx: Soundview, Castle Hill, Parkchester, Westchester Square
Whatever neighborhood you live in or prefer to work in, our coordinators will build your schedule around assignments that make geographic sense for you.
The Bronx Needs Culturally Competent Nurses
Over 55 percent of Bronx residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, and large communities of African American, Caribbean, and West African residents make the borough one of the most culturally rich and diverse in the nation. As a private duty nurse in the Bronx, your ability to communicate with sensitivity and respect across cultural lines is as clinically important as your technical skills. Nursing Done Right actively looks for nurses who bring that cultural awareness to every patient interaction.
