RN supervising a pdn

Published

hey everyone. I am currently new to the whole independent nursing which some people refer to as a PDN. I want to be a independent contract nurse and work for myself and get reimbursed by med-cal, medicaid. I applied for my national provider identification number and got approved and got my number. So what do I do now? what is the next step? And i currently work for an agency doing home health and I have a RN supervising me, but who supervises me if I become a PDN as I plan. I currently have a patient that wants me to become their PDN but just waiting for me to get everything together with the whole process. any comments will help, thanks.

I am licensed to work under the supervision of a physician or a supervising RN.

They never had me sign any paper work regarding a "no compete clauses", but I will have to double check on that not that you mentioned it. Thanks.

Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

Then you are an LVN and must have a supervising RN. MD cannot supervise LVN only offer medical direction.
