Nurse Next Door, Hampton Roads, is a family owned franchise/agency that was brought to life by Registered Nurse, Kaylene Landers. Kaylene chose to open a Home Care Agency because she wanted to care for her clientele even more than her profession as a Registered Nurse allows. Those constraints really pushed her to explore options in consideration of how she could deliver better care to people -- not only as an RN, but as a leader in the health profession. Kaylene's vision is best articulated in the following quote: "most health professionals genuinely care for others -- so, in lieu of fighting the system that leaves us frustrated, why not become the change to the system?”.
