  1. Can an LPN get a job as a CNA?

    I already had my CNA certification while I attended nursing school. Those in my class that didnt have their certification were told that they could take the CNA written and skills test once we finished our geriatric rotation in school, for that would...
  2. New graduate LPNs: any luck finding jobs.

    I just had to go back on orientation for 3 days.. I was hired for night shift, but they had me train for 4 weeks on day shift and then someone from day shift volunteered to orient me to nights, but she only stayed for one day. There were complaints a...
  3. LPN school: wasted a year of my life

    I did find a job, its a LTC facility, unfortunately its has the worst reputation in the area but its a job for now. Im just glad to be able to give my family a decent Christmas. Im trying to start taking my prereqs in January for RN so I can get out...
  4. state survey and a bad reputation

    I work in a facility that was on the verge of being closed down a year and a half ago. The place has a bad reputation but from the day I started I could see the potential in the place and the dedication of some of the staff. It just seems as if theyr...
  5. wow your facility tested you for HIV? Ive never heard of such a thing, I didnt even think it was legal for anyone to ask your HIV status besides your own physician. Thats crazy, its discrimination. I know of someone who is Hep B pos but I dont think ...
  6. I understand not forcing her to stay, but if their orientation is altered then at least try to make sure they have on clean clothes or clean pajamas. Maybe thats just my ltc cna experience talking. Or how about contacting a social worker, can they en...
  7. Nursing job interview attire

    Just as someone else said, hit the thrift stores. I volunteered at a Rescue Mission thrift store earlier this year to make up some hours for class, I was surprised at the amount of decent clothing they had available. Think conservative, it makes you ...
  8. Mandatory Flu shots

    I work in NYS, I just received a note with my check last week (I work for a staffing agency) that told me if I didnt get the shot by 11/30 that I would be terminated as of 12/1. Even though the facitlity they send me to is giving everyone the choice ...
  9. LPN Day Shift Supervisor?

    No, usually the LPN is charge over the CNA's
  10. New graduate LPNs: any luck finding jobs.

    I can understand not getting the job you want due to lack of experience, that happens in any field, but when everyone turns you down because of being a new grad, or when certain places have phased out LPN's, it just feels like you've been tricked int...
  11. LPN school: wasted a year of my life

    I live in an area where there are just a few schools, but are holding 3 or 4 classes at the same time (night classes, weekend classes, day classes, Ft and Pt) so there are a lot of LPN's in the area.only two of the hospitals hire LPN's, one of which ...
  12. New graduate LPNs: any luck finding jobs.

    so much for the so-called nursing shortage
  13. Hate/Love Relationship with Nursing

    Have some of you worked as CNA's before you went to nursing school? I feel like those that have worked in facilities as CNA's beforehand understand the politics a little better than those who jump into it fresh. Nursing is nothing like what they tell...
  14. I took my PN NCLEX today too

    There was one person in my class that failed with 85 questions. Think there was a language barrier. He hasnt taken it again as far as I know. I passed with 85. Sorry for those that have to wait long for your results, I dont know how you can stand it....
  15. LPN school: wasted a year of my life

    I graduated earlier this year, (March), could not find a GPN job. Got my license a month ago and still no luck. I have applied everywhere, nursing homes, hospitals, Dr offices. I feel like I wasted a year of my life. I quit my office job because they...
