Cal. Code Regs. tit. 16 § 2518.7
Private duty patient care may be performed in any setting, including, but not limited to, acute care, long term care, or the patient's home. For purposes of licensure equivalency eligibility, the Board will accept only private duty patient care that has occurred in acute or long term care facilities. Private duty services are contracted directly between the nurse and the patient or entity acting on the patient's behalf. A licensed vocational nurse (LVN) must provide private duty nursing services under the direction of a registered nurse who directs nursing care and/or the patient's physician who directs medical care. The supervisor must be responsible for direction to the private duty LVN regarding the respective nursing and medical procedures. The direction provided by the registered nurse or physician to the LVN must be available at least by telephone.
