Marianne Ryan, RN

CEO & Founder

The founder

Clinical excellence, personally led.

Born and raised in Wexford, Ireland, Marianne Ryan emigrated to the United States in her mid twenties to pursue a career in nursing. After honing her clinical expertise at world-renowned Manhattan institutions including New York-Presbyterian and the Hospital for Special Surgery, she transitioned into the private duty sector, where she found her true calling.

Following a decade of dedicated service to a single client, Marianne recognized the need for a more intimate, boutique approach to home care. She founded SelectNursing to provide a truly personalized experience, built on a foundation of clinical excellence and unwavering commitment to her patients.

With more than 20 years of nursing experience, she still selects every nurse herself, and families speak with her directly.

The nurses

Senior New York City nurses. Nothing less.

We do not staff from a roster. Each nurse is chosen for the clinical need and for the household — and once chosen, they stay.

Licensure

Registered and insured

All nurses are registered and insured, licensed to practice across New York, Connecticut, and Florida.

Pedigree

From the city’s leading hospitals

Our nurses train and practice at institutions of the calibre of New York-Presbyterian, Columbia, Lenox Hill, and the Hospital for Special Surgery before joining private duty work.

Experience

Years in private duty

Every nurse brings years of private duty practice in demanding, high-acuity households — not agency shift work.

Continuity

Five to seven per client

Small, dedicated teams under one Nurse Lead. The same faces, the same standards, week after week.

Our standard

I founded SelectNursing on a simple conviction: that the best care combines the skill of a great hospital with the comfort of home.
