1. What is your current LPN salary

   ididit replied to Vicky Laursen's topic in LPN/LVN

   Were other lpn's "grandfathered" in? Also, wondering where you are going for RN?

2. Are you a "Bonified" Nurse?

   ididit replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

   I agree, where I work, the residents think my position is everything from nurse to housekeeper to dining staff! Nurses do wear a different colored top, however, it is still confusing to the residents. I have to admit, I'd actually prefer to wear al...

3. Any suggestions for ongoing med errors?

   ididit replied to DPRN's topic in LTC Directors

   As an LPN working in an assisted living facility, I can't imagine making those errors. Our orders are picked up then checked by another nurse (next shift). As for taking Fent Patch off at night...shame on them....their responsibility is to remember...

   ididit replied to Sara_Smile 82's topic in LPN-RN

   I'd be interested as well. I've heard that not all online college's are recognized, etc. Would love to hear from someone that has gone for RN online.

   ididit replied to luna770's topic in General Nursing

   I am a LPN working in an Assisted Living facility. My salary after one year is 22.75/hour. Not bad, however, this is NY. Actually, I've thought about going back for my RN and was wondering where I'd fit in. Our facility uses RN's for home care on...

11. What should I expect to see in LTC?

    ididit replied to nsnina's topic in Geriatric

    I agree, without CNA's where would we be. I worked a short period of time as a CNA. Each night I came home physically and mentally exhausted. I returned to school and am now an LPN, however, I will NEVER forget how demanding the CNA's job is. They...

14. First job...HELP!!

    ididit replied to whoaitschrista's topic in General Nursing

    I too am a new nurse. I was told that the evening 11-7 shift would be available after orientation. (Yeah right!) After completing orientation during 7-3, I was told that the situation had changed and there was no longer an 11-7 opening. Hmmmmm......
