The recovery gap
Leaving surgery should not mean navigating recovery alone.
The period after discharge can feel uncertain, especially when a patient is recovering away from family or requires more individualized support than relatives can comfortably provide. PPN reviews private-duty RN matching requests based on the requested schedule, setting, nursing needs, and available qualified nurses.
Planning begins with clear information, appropriate instructions, and an available RN.

After-surgery support
The first evening after surgery
The hours after discharge often call for calm, attentive observation. A private-duty nurse can follow the treating team's instructions, support patient comfort, keep clear documentation, and communicate with the patient's treating physician or surgeon when appropriate.
After-surgery support
Overnight reassurance
Having an assigned California-licensed registered nurse present during an arranged private-duty shift can offer reassurance overnight. This does not guarantee a particular outcome and is not a substitute for emergency medical response.
For patients and families
Professional support, arranged around the individual.
- Planning before the procedure
- Matching based on requested nursing needs
- Home or hotel settings
- Hourly, extended, or overnight requests, subject to nurse availability
- Communication with the patient and authorized representatives

For surgeons and care partners
A clearer private-duty option for appropriate patients.
Pacific Private Nursing is being developed to help surgeons, surgery centers, discharge teams, and care coordinators refer patients seeking independently arranged private-duty nursing support.
- A clear referral pathway
- Basic scheduling coordination
- Matching requests based on anticipated nursing needs
- Communication using the treating team's instructions
- Respect for the treating physician's continuing role
A referral does not transfer medical responsibility to Pacific. The patient's treating physician or surgeon remains responsible for medical diagnosis, treatment decisions, and medical orders. Pacific does not represent that it employs, controls, or supervises the referring physician.

Frequently asked
Common questions
What is private-duty nursing?
Private-duty nursing is one-to-one nursing support arranged directly for a specific patient, typically in a home, hotel, or similar private setting, rather than in a hospital or facility.
Does Pacific guarantee that a nurse will be available?
No. Nurse matching is subject to availability, the requested schedule and setting, and completion of the required agreements. Pacific does not guarantee placement.
Can I request nursing support before my surgery?
Patient requests are available through PPN's Google Workspace form. You can still read about the proposed service and pricing. No RN availability or booking is confirmed by this website.
Can nursing support be arranged in a hotel?
Hotel recovery is a proposed setting, not a confirmed booking or coverage promise. Any future arrangement depends on operating approval, an appropriate setting, RN availability and the required agreements.
Does Pacific replace my surgeon or physician?
No. Pacific is not a hospital, physician practice, or substitute for your treating surgeon or physician. Your treating physician or surgeon remains responsible for your medical diagnosis, treatment decisions, and medical orders.
What information should I prepare before contacting Pacific?
General, non-clinical information is helpful to start: the desired city, approximate date, whether the setting is a home or hotel, and the best way and time to reach you. Please do not send medical records or detailed health information through the website.
Is Pacific an emergency service?
No. Pacific Private Nursing is not an emergency service. Call 911 for a medical emergency.
How can a surgeon or surgery center make a referral?
Surgeons, surgery centers, discharge teams, and care coordinators can start a referral conversation through the contact section below.
How can a California-licensed registered nurse express interest?

Does Pacific accept insurance?
The advertised patient price is $95 per hour, with a two-hour minimum ($190). Live checkout is currently unavailable. Before payment, PPN must confirm the actual nurse, schedule, agreed pay and applicable agreements. Nurses receive their full agreed booking pay; PPN absorbs processing fees from its portion.
