  1. How do I start my own Private duty nursing?

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

    $103/yr for 1 million in malpractice insurance with NSO for a private duty

  2. How do I start my own Private duty nursing?

    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...

  3. Medicaid pay rate for PDN LPNs in New York State?

    Lisa1203 replied to FloatyFlowers's topic in Private Duty

    Yes - the mother of the child is correct - both in the original hourly salary & that it's actually bumped up 30% - therefore in NY the LPN rate for a medically fragile child is a little over $30....

  4. single mothers: best area of nursing to go into re: hours and salary?

    Lisa1203 replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    A great idea: get 1 year hosp experience. Try like hell to find childcare for every other weekend and a few holidays. Then work in ambulatory surgery - no weekends or holidays. Sacrificing 1 year...

  5. single mothers: best area of nursing to go into re: hours and salary?

    Lisa1203 replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    Home health could be a great fit for the OP's circumstances. Pediatric homecare pays well in NY if you get reimbursed directly from Medicaid and some cases would be fine for a new grad. I work in...

  6. LPN program at Dutchess BOCES

    Lisa1203 replied to Studentforever's topic in General Students

    I have heard the nursing instructors at Columbia-Greene community College are very supportive. LPN's can bridge into the program by skipping The 1st or the 1st & 2nd semester by testing out....

  7. Is being an LPN REALLY that bad?

    Lisa1203 replied to peppapig123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

  8. Excelsior Advice/Motivation needed!!

    Lisa1203 replied to Mrs.Mc,LPN217's topic in LPN to RN

    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...

  9. What Do You LIKE About Being an LPN?

    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...

  10. Emedny question from longtime lurker!

    Lisa1203 replied to Deekay123's topic in Private Duty

    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...

  11. Excelsior Study Time?

    Lisa1203 replied to matynurse's topic in Excelsior College

    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...

  12. Become Medicaid/Medicare provider

    Lisa1203 replied to JM3RN's topic in Private Duty

    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...

    Lisa1203 replied to Mariangel24's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

    Lisa1203 replied to nursemarie's topic in Private Duty

    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...

  18. Losing my motivation

    Lisa1203 replied to BetterMeRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    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...

  19. No motivation after passing the CPNE 2 months ago

    Lisa1203 replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    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...

  20. RN told she will now get LPN wages

    Lisa1203 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Private Duty

    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

  21. New grad needs advice. PDN??

    Lisa1203 replied to Ms_Bee's topic in Private Duty

    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...
