Cost of a Private Nurse
A private nurse is the optimal choice for individuals who want control and flexibility in their care.
Whether you want to escape the sounds and smells of a hospital room and relax in the comfort of home, or simply desire a higher level of premium nursing care —all while having a hospital-quality nurse by your side—we have a full range of options to suit your every need.
As a private pay solution, we excel at accommodating most medical needs with excellent scheduling flexibility, and our premium services are not restrained by insurance limitations.
Read on to learn more about what you can expect in terms of cost and the value of working with an experienced nursing agency.
What is Pricing Based On?
The 3 main factors that influence pricing include: Hours & Duration, Nurse Licensure, and Service Type.
Hours & Duration
The number of hours per visit and length of service
Nurse Licensure
The type of nursing professional, depending on your needs
Service Type
The complexity of the service and number of visits required
Hours & Duration
Private Duty Nursing from NurseRegistry is an hourly service charge.
This plays a factor in overall pricing because naturally, some services require more time than others.
For instance, hiring a private nurse to visit and apply wound care and assist with medication intake will require fewer hours than a more intricate service type, such as an individual opting for post-surgical care and requiring assistance for 6 to 8 hours at a time.
Regardless of the duration, you can always expect a high-quality and professional nurse that is experienced, licensed, and has chosen to work with you.
Our matchmaking process is unique.
- Our expert client services team recommends the best matches.
- Nurses indicate explicit interest in the job, so you get a nurse that wants to be there specifically for you.
- Most importantly, you have the final say.
Important to note: There is a 2-hour minimum and there are currently no discounts for 24/7 care.
Nurse Licensure
NurseRegistry only works with high-quality, well-screened RNs and LVNs. We do not work with CNAs, caregivers, or techs.
Your required private nursing care service will dictate the type of nurse needed. The nurses we provide have different specialties and skill sets that lend themselves to particular services.
For instance, a nurse who excels in medication management and checking vitals may not have the same experience in IV therapy.
Therefore, the type of nurse required and the availability of nurses will affect the overall pricing.
In addition, nurses do not provide supplies. Please contact your primary physician or insurance company about providing the necessary supplies for your specific medical condition.
Service Type
While the service itself is not priced separately, the nursing care you request will dictate both the hours and type of nurse booked.
A client who requests a wellness check from an LVN requires fewer hours than a client suffering from early-onset dementia who requires consistent care and general nursing.
Key Takeaway: Cost will depend solely on the hours and nurse booked.

The Benefits of NurseRegistry as a Private Pay Solution
Everyone should have access to premium nursing. Here’s how NurseRegistry can provide you with the value others have come to rely on for over a decade.
Greater Flexibility
Insurance companies often dictate the type of care and nurse availability, which means you’ll be limited to specific vendors with fewer resources.
At NurseRegistry, we aspire to give you the most options and the greatest flexibility. As a private pay solution, we offer the most flexibility of any nursing service and are never bound by insurance limitations.
More Control
Our goal is to put the power of healthcare back in your hands.
There’s no better way to take complete control over your or your loved one’s health and well-being than choosing a private nurse.
Responsive & Fast
An individual’s healthcare needs change constantly. Insurance companies are slow to adjust, at the cost of your or your loved one’s health and wellbeing. We offer a better and faster approach to nursing care.
With a private duty nurse from NurseRegistry, we are able to pivot quickly and offer the best and most up-to-date care options for your needs
Top Concierge Services
Reputable clients have come to expect the high caliber of care we provide for 24/7 premium nursing services.
This type of premium service allows for all of the above benefits—greater flexibility, more control, and peace of mind—with the added benefit of a dedicated client team and the highest privacy standards.
NurseRegistry Cost Compared to Urgent Care Visit
While NurseRegistry is happy to provide private duty nurses for preventative care, precautionary measures, and peace of mind, we understand that many clients turn to us because they are seeking immediate care.
You may think that choosing a private pay solution like NurseRegistry that offers scheduling flexibility and provides a private nurse for care in the comfort of your home would be more exhaustive on your wallet, but that often isn’t the case.
In fact, the average 2-hour trip to urgent or emergency care in California costs over $1,000. Just a single hour with your primary care provider averages at $457.
In addition to those costs, you’re looking at the extra hassle of:
- An in-person visit to a medical facility
- Restrictive scheduling subject to what the facility or physician has available
- Insurance limitations
These benefits are why choosing a private duty nurse from NurseRegistry is not only more convenient in terms of where and how you receive care, but also more freeing than the limitations imposed by insurance options.
Important: NurseRegistry does not replace urgent care visits; the information above is simply meant to provide a price comparison. If you have an emergency, please dial 911.
With NurseRegistry, depending on your particular service requests we can compete with those costs and offer the following:
