    Ah, do facilities hire private nurses? Like traveling nurses? I had only heard the term “private nurse” as in one who is privately hired to work in the home.

    Edit: Ah, they do indeed, I have now read the article, apologies. I read private nurses and assumed it meant in home nurses. It seems in Canada the term applies to travel nurses or agency nurses.

        Yes I get that now, in Australia the term “private nurse” is used exclusively as far as I know to refer to private in home nurses.

        If I google “private nurses Australia” it is clear this is the case, and a company I have worked through is one of the top results.

        If I google “private nurses Canada” the results all refer to agency nurses like the above article.

        My mistake, I made an assumption without actually reading the article before commenting.
