1. LPN working CNA shifts??

   Julie1963 replied to Julie1963's topic in LPN/LVN

   I posted this thread not because I think being a CNA is beneath me. I was just frustrated at being moved around so much..between units, shifts, positions...I have no sense of continuity. Please forgive me if the impression I gave was that I thought...

2. LPN working CNA shifts??

   Julie1963 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I am an LPN that works in a long term care facility. We are short staffed of CNA's and 3 of the 4 LPN's (me included) were assigned to "fill in" CNA shifts "temporarily" almost a year ago. Am I being ungrateful and selfish for being resentful of th...

4. LPN working in old CNA job?

   Julie1963 replied to Julie1963's topic in LPN/LVN

   Everyone here is really being great and supportive; my schedule comes out tomorrow and I'm anxious to see how many "nursing" days I will have. I also hope and pray I can gather the courage to speak up if I don't have the nursing days I need. We'll ...

8. Passed NCLEX, sometimes nurse, sometimes aide

   Julie1963 replied to amjowens's topic in LPN/LVN

   The same thing happens to me; passed my NCLEX in January and am being scheduled as CNA most of the time. I was also told before I passed that "there is a full time position for me". I do get paid nursing wages in both positions; but why did I spend...

9. LPN working in old CNA job?

   Julie1963 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   This is the first time I've posted. I just passed my boards in January and started my job in a LTC in February. My problem is that the DON still send me to the sister facility where I worked as a CNA/CMA for 12 years to work not as a nurse but as a...

    Julie1963 replied to scoober33's topic in LPN/LVN

    I'm also a new LPN in a LTC. We have 25-30 patients depending on what unit we're assigned to. I'm also pulled to the sister facility where I was previously employed as a CNA/CMA to fill in because they are short handed (not my choice). I don't thi...
