1. Random tests?

   Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

   Maybe I should try CBD oil first. I know several nurses that use it. I have heard that you do have to be careful with that too and make sure its from a reputable company and doesn't contain THC. One of the reasons I hadn't gone to a doctor in years u...

2. Random tests?

   Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

   I don't work in a hospital, but could stop smoking anytime. I just don't want a flare up to come back. IMO, it seems like we are getting discriminated against for working in the medical field. What business is it of anybody what you do on your own ti...

3. Random tests?

   Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been a floor nurse at various nursing homes for over 10 years now. I've never had to take a drug screen except for pre-employment. My current job is probably the best one I've had. The pay is good, I like most of my co-workers and the manageme...

4. PTO payout

   Medsport posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I recently accepted a new job that is half the distance and pays about $2 more an hour than my present job. I like my present job, but the drive is getting old and the pay is more or less stagnant. So I called in the other day to put my 2 week notice...

5. What are registries paying LVN's in 2017

   Medsport replied to gethealthy2's topic in LPN/LVN

   That's ridiculous. Its more than I made my first LPN job, although that was almost 9 years ago. I only make a few dollars more than that now, but it looks like pay is starting to go up a lot of places and why I'm thinking of finding a new job.

6. time for new job?

   Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN/LVN

   Anybody? I still keep going back and forth as to take it or not. I was supposed to send the paperwork back for background check and drug screen, but haven't yet and its been almost a week. Do you guys think its too late? There wasn't really a time fr...

7. Still NO job

   Medsport replied to lovingme01's topic in LPN/LVN

   Getting the first job is hardest. After you have some experience its a lot easier.

8. time for new job?

   Medsport posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I've been a nurse for almost 9 years, mostly LTC. Been at present position about a year and half. Its a basic NH with a "behavior" unit I work at least once a week. It can be very challenging at times and we are almost always short-staffed and think ...

9. let go

   Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN/LVN

   Well now I've got another predicament guys. I started a new job last week at a place that's a little further away, but they pay is pretty good. The med passes are really heavy and it looks like I will have to jump around on different halls for now an...

10. let go

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN/LVN

    Well because they just took me off the schedule and never called me back about picking up any hours. I only vape for the nicotine because I believe it helps my U.C.

11. let go

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN/LVN

    Anybody? I'm starting to really get discouraged. I've applied at a half dozen places and yet to hear anything. My mom thinks I should call the place that was supposed to get back to me last week, but I figure if she said she would call and hasn't the...

12. let go

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN/LVN

    I'm starting to think I'm SOL. I thought my interview went well and she said she would let me know by end of the week. She said she had to contact my references and the job I got fired at so I was honest with her about most of what happened. Althoug...

13. let go

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN/LVN

    Thanks for the advice. Well for one, I was only sleeping on my break which the previous director said was okay as long as we were off the clock. I know now I should have checked the handbook because apparently there is supposed to be no sleeping at a...

14. let go

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    Okay, I was let go from an AL job I'd been at for over 5 years. Basically for sleeping on the job. I was on my break and was written up for it earlier this week. I guess I should have reviewed the policy, but the previous director said she didn't car...

15. Insurance

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN/LVN

    Well for me its not affordable, especially when I can barely break even before paying the extra 180. A quick search at the health care website lowest is about 217. I think these plans are crazy. With a 6k deductible (I think its like 5k through my em...
