I have a job I love in homecare. The case I have will not hire an RN - only an LPN because the job is relatively easy. They don't want to pay for an RN - & honestly it isn't necessary. I love both...

I finished all of the nursing exams & other pre-req's & only have the CPNE. I too am having a heck of a time getting motivated to study - for me it's just the CPNE. So - here's my nugget of wisdom....

I think an LPN education is one of the best & most overlooked options for both men & women - young & not so young. I spent a ton of money on a bachelors degree in psychology & later in life (age 35)...

I'm hoping your interpretation of what you're hearing is wrong. I think they mean that you can't get reimbursed in those settings. To the best of my knowledge I don't see any reason at all why you...

You CAN go fast - but you have to be extremely dedicated & motivated. I took Nursing tests 3, 4, 5, 6 + the 7th one (I registered prior to Sept. '07 & therefore am not required to take the newer...

It took me weeks - but I've been reading that someone received the provider number quickly. By the way - you can take a case now - just keep excellent records so you can process the claim correctly...

I'm sorry - maybe i misspelled something - there is no contract with the family. Not at all. Maybe I meant contact with the family?

It all depends on the case & the family. If for a peds case - the parents can care for their child while you're away - they might - or you can get the other nurse - there may be 1 more or several...

(I don't know how to PM) Well - you work for the family (I have a peds case) - - yes - there are other nurses on the case - we share the days (we're not there at the same time if that's what you...

I am - I happened to land a great case - I don't know of any pitfalls to share - but i do think this is much smarter than going thru an agency - the pay is so much better.

I'm reading your post - but forgive me - i'm ignorant about what a visiting nurse is - do you mean just check up on people to make sure things are going well? I have no idea - I hope someone reading...

Hi - I know this is several years old - but maybe someone will see it. I too am losing my motivation. I took all of the nursing exams & only have the CPNE left. I wish I never started it. I feel so...

If it makes you feel better - as the previous poster stated - at least you're done with the CPNE. I'm staring at the manual & am so overwhelmed I'm thinking of going to cc route - even though I've...

I am an LPN who gets reimbursed thru Medicaid - & the case I have does NOT pay for an RN - so I can only assume if an RN wanted the case they'd get LPN pay. The case is comparatively easy.

Yes - you can. I am an LPN with only experience in a dr's office before i started. I care for a pediatric pt (private duty - not thru an agency - but that's a whole different topic - although if I...

Good Lord no!!!!! All that matters is that you love what you do & your're helping someone to boot!!! I have a bachelors degree in psychology from a private university (meaning I spent $$$$) & then...

Where do I start to get a tax ID #? I am one of those people who just have so much responsibility that any help anyone is willing to offer, I will gladly lean that way. I have been taken advantage of...

Use your ss#. Good luck!! I called emedny so much to pull info out of them. Call back if you don't feel satisfied with the answer - some reps are blunt & some explain things a lot more.

LPN is $23.69 & if you have experience caring for medically fragile children you can apply for a 30% enhancement in that hourly amount (RN's as well) - there is a form on that website to apply. You...

Hi - you're 1st step is to go into emedny & call customer service - it's all done through them - you'll need an NPI# & then you will be eligible to get a provider id# so you can be reimbursed by...

You don't find a supervisor - you find the case. In NY they may be advertised in the Pennysaver or Craigslist. For pediatrics it's the parents usually who most likely will be putting the ad in.

Hi - I believe it was at least several weeks to get the NPI#. You can call emedny customer service if you havn't already - i called them a billion times during the process! (Of course THEN you have...

Billing is easy right on the emedny website & customer service can help you , as far as getting cases they are advertised in CraigsList and the pennysaver - if there ARE other ways of getting clients...

OH MY!!! I do my own billing online - it's a piece of cake! 98% of my questions were answered by emedny customer service# & the other 2% was from other nurses on the case. Sorry to discredit anyone...

Well - now that you have your NPI# you can apply for your medicaid provider#. As far as codes - I use only 1 code as an LPN. I do not know if RN's use only 1 as well or more (it's the homecare code...
