   Lisa1203 replied to Karilynnmorgan's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

   In NY you only need an LPN or RN license, an NPI number & if you are being reimbursed by Medicaid then a Medicaid number. I highly recommend insurance to protect your assets if God forbid anything...

   Lisa1203 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   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...
