1. Philadelphia area job market?

   Ling07 replied to PhillyQuaker's topic in Pennsylvania

   This is a good thread. Very informative. I too, have a Bachelors but I want to pursue an Associates in Nursing.

2. Is it possible to get a job at CHOP?

   Ling07 replied to Ling07's topic in Pennsylvania

   Wow I'm in amazement at the way this thread has taken off over the last two years. Congratulations to all of the nurses that have received jobs. When I originally created this post, I was referring to non-nursing jobs. But I'm really glad it's been b...

3. Two nurses quit without notice......

   Ling07 replied to Ling07's topic in Geriatric

   I know that they quit without calling. The DON would make sure the floor was covered.

4. Two nurses quit without notice......

   Ling07 posted a topic in Geriatric

   The facility where I work has had two 11-7 nurses quit within four months. But what I find interesting, both quit without notice. No call/No Show. Why are they doing this? Isn't it common courtesy to leave a resignation letter?

5. I quit my good paying job to attend a CNA class. Anyone else?

   Ling07 replied to Ling07's topic in CNA/MA

   I think there are so many RNs looking for jobs that they are ignoring the LPN apps. Are you applying to nursing homes?

6. The Activities Dept.

   Ling07 replied to Ling07's topic in Geriatric

   WOW, some people need to get out and get some fresh air. STEP AWAY from the computer....... I NEVER said they weren't important. I think they are very important in improving the quality of life for a resident of a nursing home. I just said it was eas...

   Ling07 replied to Ling07's topic in CNA/MA

   I just want to put a *WARNING* post out there for those of you considering quitting your job. Do NOT QUIT your "good paying" job for a CNA class if you don't know exactly what CNAs do. I currently work at a Nursing Home and CNAs are required to do a ...

8. The Activities Dept.

   Ling07 replied to Ling07's topic in Geriatric

   I totally understand where you're coming from but I'm moreso referring to the Activities Assistants. I know most Directors of Activities are very busy.

    Is it me or does the Activities department have the easiest job in the planet?? Watch movies, paint nails, bake cakes, coloring and listen to the radio, so easy!!

11. If you could build your perfect Nursing Home......how would it be?

    Ling07 replied to Ling07's topic in Geriatric

    I think all of the rules and regulations sometimes leads to a resident's failure to thrive. Sometimes I get annoyed with all of the "regulations."

12. Are LTC facilities still hiring LPNs?

    Ling07 posted a topic in LTC Directors

    I currently work in LTC and I'm thinking about pursuing LPN. I already have a Bachelors degree but I would like to be a nurse. The facility I currently work at hired three new RNs. No LPNs. The LPNs that work there have years of experience. So I was ...

13. If you could build your perfect Nursing Home......how would it be?

    Ling07 replied to Ling07's topic in Geriatric

    I wasn't referring to the "fall risk" and "sociable" residents. There are residents we allow to sit near the nursing station because they like it. I'm not talking about the residents that "choose" to sit out in the hallway. I'm talking about the resi...

    Ling07 replied to Ling07's topic in Geriatric

    Bronx_RN, Your perfect nursing home isn't too far-fetched. Where I'm currently working, the residents have options on what they want to eat, they can wear whatever they want and if they want to stay in their room, most of the time they allow it.

    YESSSSSSSSSSS! I am so tired of knocking residents into the doors by accident. It's especially embarassing when a visitor sees it!!
