You are funny! Of course we all want to help people, but I see your angle. Nursing has become a profession in high demand and it does pay well, but not that well. I do believe there are many Nurses in the field, just for the money. But hey, it takes...
Hi if you are married and have the second income, LPN works. At least for me it did. I find being a LPN/LVN gives you more direct patient care. I mean after all, isn't this why we choose to be Nurses. The RN gets paid much better and with this comes ...
That is correct! If you choose the diploma route, you may use the diploma only in the state you obtained it. This means those private schools you go to and pay big bucks for, because the waiting list at the college is 3-4 years long.
I agree 100%, ulcers are not always due to lack of care. In fact most times they are due to; paper-like skin (as seen with the elderly), poor circulation (tissue profusion), and #1- diet. Incorrect diet, lack of, and lack of vitamins. Just being el...
It is true, most hospitals in Southern California do not hire LVN's and the registries want you to have at least 6 mo. to 1 yr. experience. But, the convalescent homes hire new LVN's and the turnover is huge. I found a home health agency that hires n...
Dearest Quilternurse, I couldn't agree with you more. Years ago when I was 18 years old, I was in a severe car accident. Cerebral contusion with short term memory loss and comatose for 7 days. When I was getting well (while is Glendale Memorial Reha...
Maybe the word power, is the wrong word to use. But yes, I feel Nurse's in white do receive more respect than those not in white. This is the traditional color for Nurses and everyone (most) associates these two together. I was told a story, where ...
You must be joking, lol No, 26 is not too old to go back to school. I was 44 when I went to a private school to obtain my LVN. My mother was 48 when she graduated with her RN. Now, she is retired with Los Angeles County retirement. Me, I'm just b...

As far as I'm considered, they have no good in them. Oh what? They brush and floss each night, big deal! Those that fall for a convict are unstable and inmature emotionally and should never be employed around them. JUST STATING THE FACTS, SIR. You ...
GR8LVN replied to NurseNikki5's topic in Correctional
yes, what you all say is true. The class and character of the inmate is disgusting, they are slime and will try to work and scam everyone and everything. They are trash, but who said anything about falling for an inmate? Not me! You must be of a ...

NurseNikki5, In California, at the CDC (California Department of Corrections-State Prision) they are doing away with the MTA (LVN with custody) and implementing the LVN (Safety). salary range is $3800.00-4619.00 My mother worked in the infirmary, sh...
Leeae85, Sorry this took sooo long.:zzzzz Anyway, in response to your question- yes silly one, the way you did in school has very much to do with how you will do on NCLEX. If you have learned the info. taught to you this will reflect on NCLEX. Rememb...
Yeah jcarro! You passed. Welcome to the land of nurses. Now just a bit of advice; as a LPN/LVN take the first job you can grab. Get your time in (6mo. to 1yr) then and only then will you be able to pick and choose where you want to work. Should thin...
