nurse and patient

Your nurse will call to confirm your visit time and address the night prior to the visit, when appropriate.
The nurse will bring the necessary equipment, supplies and/or medications to the visit, or arrangements will be made to have these items delivered prior to the visit.
On the initial visit, it will be necessary that the patient's legal representative be present to sign all required paperwork.
It is also important to be available during your child's scheduled appointment times to participate in the care of your child.
The nursing visit will usually last between one to three hours depending on the complexity of care ordered by your child's doctor.
