What would the world be like if Florence Nightingale had not lived?

We can't know the answer to that, except that maybe it wouldn't be as good as it is for many people, especially those needing health care. I hope that if she didn't spur on the nursing profession and bring it up to a level of respectability that it has attained that other people would have figured out how important nursing is and how it makes a big positive impact of the level of care that patients receive. Either way, we should be grateful for her contribution to the world.

The tribute to Canadian Nursing Sisters tells of these brave and dedicated women. A total of 4480 Nursing Sisters served during the Second World War. In May 1942, Canadian nurses became the first in any allied country to have official officer status with equivilent power of command. Nursing sisters were employed by the Royal Air force of Canada, to serve their country in the great war (ww1). most nursing sisters were high school graduates and they already had a nursing certificate, which they found useful in the war and taking care of soldiers. Nursing sisters were hired to take care of soldiers and treat their wounds, they were also ambulance drivers and sometimes women would go on the battle field (No man's land) and defend their country. Nurses had to cope with shortage of water and catching the infections from the soldiers. more than 36 nurses dies because of infections caught from the soldiers and some died from fighting in the battle field.

Medicaid transfer of assets?

Any change in the way an asset is held is a "transfer" of assets. The nursing home resident may transfer approximately $100,000 to the spouse living in the community without penalty. Otherwise, in general, if the State determines that the applicant or recipient did not receive "fair market value" for the transfer, it may decline to pay nursing home costs for the time that the transferred assets would have paid for that care. (Other medical assistance can be approved if the person is otherwise eligible.)

Can someone gift a house to their children in Minnesota and is there a time period where a nursing home could go back and take the house for payment?

In Medicaid, any change in the way an asset is held is a "transfer" of assets. The nursing home resident may transfer approximately $100,000 to the spouse living in the community without penalty. Otherwise, in general, if the State determines that the applicant or recipient did not receive "fair market value" for the transfer, it will likely decline to pay nursing home costs for the time that the transferred assets would have paid for that care - i.e., gift was made in May, gift = $10,000, private pay rate = $2,500; patient is ineligible for payment for nursing home care for four months, May, June, July and August. Other medical assistance can be approved if the person is otherwise eligible.) It seems unlikely that the nursing home would be interested in the house. If the person is not going to return to the community, the State will expect the house to be sold and the net proceeds used to pay for medical care and other necessities.


May you transfer assets before applying for medicaid?

The person may receive Medicaid coverage for other expenses such as doctors, hospitals, etc.
