Team Select

Graduating nursing school is a huge accomplishment... but figuring out what comes next can feel overwhelming fast.

From licensing and NCLEX prep to navigating your first 90 days on the job, we put together a New Grad Nurse Checklist filled with practical steps, reminders, and advice we wish every new nurse had starting out.

Save this post for later and share it with a future nurse you know.

Last week, our Executive VP of Public Policy & Government Relations, Bill Sczepanski, proudly represented Team Select Home Care at Illinois Homecare & Hospice Council (IHHC) Lobby Day in Springfield.

A special thank you to Sara Ratcliffe, Executive Director of IHHC, and Kristin Rubbelke, IHHC Lobbyist, for organizing an impactful event and continuing to champion home-based care across Illinois.

During Lobby Day, we advocated for:
✅ A 20% rate increase for Private Duty Nursing (PDN)
✅ Implementation of the Family CNA Legislation for unskilled care
✅ Implementation of HB 2369, allowing Certified Family Health Aides to provide skilled care

We were also honored to meet with Representative Nicole Stava, State Representative Anne Stava , a leading advocate and sponsor for family caregiver legislation and PDN rate increases. Her continued support for medically complex patients and the families who care for them is making a meaningful difference.

At Team Select Home Care, we remain committed to advocating for policies that expand access to care, support families, and strengthen the future of home healthcare in Illinois.
