Training to work with medically fragile children

Specialties Private Duty

Published

Hi all!

I'm an LPN student graduating in two weeks. I currently provide care for a young boy with several disabilities deeming him medically fragile. Upon graduation, I will become his Private Duty Nurse through Medicaid. Here in NY, nurses get an extra 30% of their rate added on for working with a medically fragile child. However, the form to fill out for this enhanced rate(https://www.emedny.org/info/ProviderEnrollment/ProviderMaintForms/432301_MEDFRAGPGM_Medically_Fragile_Children_Program.pdf) mentions training on skills with medically fragile children.

I'm unsure of where to find training for this. I've Googled with no real help. Anybody know what I can do? Is there an online class somewhere? Or am I misunderstanding?

Thanks in advance! :)

I am looking for this training as well. I already work for a family privately but they have just been approved to have an LPN on the case through medicaid. I can work without the training but with the training I can receive 30% additional pay. Please let me know if you were able to find the training. I am in NY.
