  1. Trying to get a home health job

    So I've been looking for a HH job for about 5 months now with no success. I'm an LPN with 2 years of experience in assisted living. Anyone have any advice? It's pretty depressing getting rejected over and over again.
  2. New grad debilitating anxiety is causing me to not work

    Oh that’s terrible. I had debilitating anxiety in nursing school. So bad I failed. So I finally got on the right med. Went back to school passed and became a nurse. For me beta blockers were the key to getting control over the anxiety. Best of luck f...
  3. Did I say too much?

    I actually do have experience in home health but as a CNA. I imagine the role of an LPN in home health iis vastly different.

    Hello, I just had an interview with a VNA. I have no experience as a nurse in a home health setting. They said it was mostly doing assessments but some skilled nursing would come up. My problem is I’m nervous about certain skills and admitted as...
  5. Assisted Living vs Nursing Home

    I’ve worked both assisted living and nursing home. I prefer assisted living hands down! It really depends on the facility though and how they handle med adminstration. Usually the aides pass most of the routine meds and the nurse only passes crushed ...

  10. Your most bonehead moment in nursing. Or 2. Or 3.

    Locked my keys to the nurses’ office in the nurses’ office. And they didn’t have a spare. Had to have one of the nurses who went home come back in to let me in the office. ?‍♀️

  13. Rushed 7 day orientation, forced to resign

    I have been a nurse for almost a year. I recently started a new job. After 7 days of orientation I was determined to be too slow and forced to resign. I do not feel 7 days was enough time to know much of anything or to build up any speed. Am I wrong ...
