Nurse Concierge - any experiences?    1. 0     A friend and I
are thinking of starting a service called "A Nurse in the
Family", perhaps, where, for a monthly retainer of probably
$100, we offer 24/7 phone support, a monthly visit to help with
problem-solving, medication questions/issues, caregiver support
ideas, etc. We'd also accompany the patient to ER or for a
hospital admission as an advocate, up to once a month if
required. Additional visits would cost $50.      Is there a
precedent for such a business? I see a few sites about Nurse
Concierge services, but they don't tell me much.      What legal
hoops would we need to jump through? We'd essentially be a
knowledgeable go-between for the pt, family, and physician. Not
exactly practicing as nurses, but that's a bit gray.      I'd
appreciate any thoughts on this - I'm old and tired of working
for people who are younger and crankier than me. But I still
have lots of energy, knowledge, and compassion.   2. Poll: Is
"Nurse Concierge" a viable business?      •
