NursieRN: Welcome. Are you new to nursing, or new to allnurses.com?

I note from your profile you're a peds. special needs RN. You might be interested to note that many states are needing RNs to take community patients under EPSDT guidelines. You can be an independent provider (INP) for Medi-Cal (in CA) or Medicaid in many states.

I've been working as an independent contractor in this area since the program started and love every minute I work, even after 30 years. Please talk to me. What are you doing?

NursieRN · Mar 6, 2003

Raphael and JJ, thanks for your replies! I have been in this

wonderful world of nursing for about six years. First a CNA, then

an LPN, and now I'm finally an RN. In addition to some private

duty cases, I have worked with geriatrics, underpriveledged

teens, and finally my beloved pediatrics. I work at a residential

facility and I'm not kidding when I say "I love my job!"

I guess I'm new too. I finally registered, though I have been reading posts for well over a year. Now I can respond. Guess it takes me a while to get moving!
