minus-squareindomara@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoYes 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.
