Re: How many of you have multiple jobs besides being an LVN?

Interesting question since your profile says you live in the Bay area. Have held up to four jobs simultaneously, both nursing and nursing/other line of work mixed. Paid my bills and provided for my family. Didn't do wonders for my health.

I don't work other jobs besides nursing, but I do think about it.

I don't but I know LOTS of LVN's that do have seond jobs to pay the bills. Most of them work at 2 different nursing homes....not exactly what your question asked, but my take.

p.s. There was an LVN at the last place with a different night job. She was a stripper at a local club and would do that at night after working the 6 -2pm shift!

Moonlighting as a stripper?!!

That defeats the purpose of obtaining a nursing license!!! She should have just gotten a 2nd nursing job!

I am in LPN school, and in my opinion most LPN's do make decent money...in my eyes GOOD MONEY, for only 9-12 months of schooling, I know LPN's in certain area's only make $12 an hour....but others make $20 wich is good in my eyes. Are they living above of what they can really afford? in Debt? or is the pay really not as good as i thought? hmm

I am sure that she gets paid very well there.

Why would that defeat the purpose of being a nurse? She isn't hurting anyone! I'm not saying I agree with being a stripper but I'd like to know the logic behind your comment......

LOGIC?!! It defeats the purpose of her education because she should have wanted to get her nursing license in order to provide a better life for herself/family without having to sell her body/ degrade herself for cash

!! I've had financial problems, but I didnt resort to stripping/prostitution/selling drugs or any other immoral/ soul crushing activity to get fast cash.

For someone to have a nursing license and still choose to strip on the side IMO they need to get their priorities/ moral compass straight.(Judgemental-yes, but everyone judges everybody!!!)

You cant move forward while walking backwards!!!
