  1. Consulting

    1 1/2 yrs after my last post, I have a desire to help people in their homes, privately. I would like to have a small group of trusted people working with me to provide nursing, CNA, and homemaking services. On another note, I I have an NPI number and...
  2. Nurses with depression

    I noticed the saying at the bottom of your post. I think you should be gentle with yourself. I need to apply that to myself as well. Maybe depression and being hard on ourselves go together. I can't imagine going through what you are just to go t...

    I've married 3, and almost 4 Mr. Wrongs.
  4. Nurses with depression

    I just posted on the regular forum about being 58 and not being able to find a job, then I saw this thread. I have had depression, anxiety, and panic attacks most of my adult life. I wasn't diagnosed until my early 30's. I worked med/surg for 13 y...
  5. Nurses in their 60's or 70's

    I was just thinking that it would be nice to have a forum for "older nurses." I am 58 and without a job presently. I still have 2 teenagers at home (single mom) and really need to find a job. I have applied at too many places to count, even non-nu...
  6. Consulting

    I am also doing some staff education and teaching CNA classes and am interested in establishing my own business. I am not getting enough work. Would you please discuss this with me as well? Thanks
  7. Become Medicaid/Medicare provider

    There is homecare, but Medicaid won't pay for independent private duty nurses (RNs or LPNs) who perform skilled care. I believe from what I read that, of course, if you work for a home health agency Medicaid pays them for the allowable services, but...
  8. Become Medicaid/Medicare provider

    I got a call from Medicaid and was told that in Illinois one has to be an advanced practice nurse "with additional credentials", they expect more training that other states. Interestingly our governor was impeached last year for trying to sell Presi...
  9. Become Medicaid/Medicare provider

    I am in Illinois. I applied for and got an NPI number. As posted previously, I contacted the State Medicaid provider office and asked if I could apply to be a provider as an RN, not an advanced practice nurse, and was told I could and they would se...
  10. Become Medicaid/Medicare provider

    For anyone who is already getting reimbursed by Medicaid: what kinds of services does Medicaid pay for? I am planning to get the handbook in the mail with my appication for a provider number, but if I can get an idea what services I can advertise, ...
  11. Become Medicaid/Medicare provider

    OK, I finally found a number for Medicaid through the Dept of Human Services in Illinois. I am being mailed forms to fill out to get a Medicaid provider number. I also contacted Medicare and was told that an RN can not get reimbursed by Medicare "at ...
  12. Become Medicaid/Medicare provider

    OK...How do I find the info for a provider number? I thought the NPI was it. Oh well, onward with the search! Thanks for the support and feedback. Joy
  13. Become Medicaid/Medicare provider

    I just got my NPI! Check the time from my last post! Now what do I do, see what services Medicaid will cover and advertise those (of course within my training and scope of practice? Does anyone know how to get started? This seems like a big deal ...
  14. Become Medicaid/Medicare provider

    Hi, I'm from Illinois. I just did a search, compliments of a previous post on "NPI." I found this site - National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) nppes.cms.hhs.gov. I was able to apply for an NPI there, and it will be processed. I hope t...
  15. Is anyone else finding it nearly impossible to find a job? I am in a rural area, and not even the nursing homes are hiring. Any experiences? Makes me want to go into another field, but which one? It seems there is a general job shortage.
