1. Unhappy

   LaJollalove replied to LPNDebbie's topic in LPN/LVN

   Can you please elaborate as to how this minor charting error ended up on your license? Nurse’s make charting errors all the time, generally they are found by chart auditors working for the same company. Nurses are then notified and able to do late ch...

   LaJollalove replied to Nurse4lifeNC's topic in General Nursing

   I’m an LVN so I’m sorry I can’t give you a precise insight into the RN market but I do know lots of RN, lol and I’ve lived in So Cal most of my life. I honesty can’t advice moving to CA. unless your husband makes over 100k. You can absolutely make o...

3. "LPNs are glorified CNAs"

   LaJollalove replied to nursetnc's topic in LPN/LVN

   I’m an LVN- I saw a job listing written by a nursing recruiter (usually having a Bachelors is a requirement to be a Nurse recruiter) saying something like “ we love our Nurses and our LVNs are great as well”. I actually emailed the recruiter to remin...

4. The Degrading "Meet and Greet"

   LaJollalove replied to panurse9999's topic in Home Health

   I agree and I feel more sorry for great nurses who love HH and really feel it’s their calling than I do myself who it’s never been a great fit for (except with one special patient and family). I feel motivated to give my patients my best and stay in ...

5. Calling all HH nurses with 1:1 assignments

   LaJollalove replied to alligatoRN's topic in Home Health

   Hi! I’ve done this for years, mostly with children. Whether or not you will like it depends on the patient, family members or other caregivers and your employer and of course your personal preferences. I’m an LVN and I’ve also worked in facilities an...

6. Loneliness and other travel stuff...

   LaJollalove replied to vzcookie's topic in Travel

   Hi, I personally feel that you are doing the right thing if you are happy when no one is trying to convince you to take another path. I think you should refuse to listen to people's opinion about travel nursing so you can really pay attention to your...

7. Does LVN experience count?

   LaJollalove posted a topic in Travel

   Hi all, Ive noticed that many Travel Companies require at least two years as an RN in your specialty. I was wondering if two years experience in the ER for example as an LVN would qualify me even if I'm a brand new RN (which I'm not yet, I'm just won...

8. Evil Nurses

   LaJollalove replied to sammiesmom's topic in Relations

   I'm so sorry you are dealing with such a difficult co-worker. I've experienced this as well especially being a new hire and new grad. Though there is no excuse for your co-worker to treat you poorly, she may just be an "evil" person who could care le...

9. Which dept is best experience for future C

   LaJollalove posted a topic in SRNA

   Hi, Is ICU experience best for RNs considering becoming CRNAs one day? I'm asking because I'm very interested in becoming a CRNA but I'm very interested in working in the Emergency Department in the meantime.

10. Travel CRNA?

    LaJollalove replied to LaJollalove's topic in CRNA

    Thank you for your fast response and information! When you write "dream job", do you mean it's a great job or that's it's very difficult to become? I see you work in the ICU, what do you like/dislike about it? Thank you for your time.

11. Travel CRNA?

    LaJollalove posted a topic in CRNA

    Can you be a Travel Nurse as an CRNA? If you can and have been a travel nurse as a CRNA I would really love to hear about some of your experiences. Thank you so much!

12. LVN trying to get ER experience

    LaJollalove replied to LaJollalove's topic in Travel

    I'm not in the RN program yet; I know of a few hospitals in my area (So. Cal) the hire LVNs in the ER and of some that hire them as Techs. I'm very willing to be a tech but I don't think they are used that often and I really want to start traveling. ...

13. LVN trying to get ER experience

    LaJollalove replied to LaJollalove's topic in Travel

    Ideally I want to be a traveling nurse who works in the ER. I'm okay with starting in other depts as a travel LVN as I know that LVNs are not used anywhere near as often as RNs in the ER. I was just thinking that maybe a hospital would be willing to ...

14. Is travel nursing right for me?

    LaJollalove replied to adventurous_rn's topic in Travel

    Sounds awesome! how do you make it work? Specifically, how do you have time with a full time job to travel to other states to work PRN? If you don't mind my asking, what is your home state?

15. Is travel nursing right for me?

    LaJollalove replied to adventurous_rn's topic in Travel

    Personally, I was in a similar situation at your age and I chose not to jeopardize my relationship to relocate. Many years later we broke up. I totally regret all my sacrifices for that relationship. You have lots of time still to find yourself and ...
