1. LPN salary questions

   exmil77 replied to KimPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   I live in the Kansas City area, and new grad LPNs can expect to make 14-19ish an hour right out of school, depending on where you work (LTC pays more). New grad RNs on the floor in the hospital start @ around 21/hr without any shift bonus.

   exmil77 replied to raianne's topic in General Nursing

7. LTC Emergencies - Not prepared!

   exmil77 replied to croppyRN's topic in Geriatric

   This is what bothers me about LTC sometimes. I was out of LPN school about a month, and I interviewed for a PT job at a LTC facility. I was told I would have TWO days of training, and would then have 60 patients by myself (with 2 CNA's). Really? ...

    exmil77 replied to Fatima41200's topic in General Nursing

15. Narcotic Wasting Mistake

    exmil77 replied to macbelleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think if I were in your shoes, bringing it back later would be the LAST thing on my mind. I would have either turned around, or at the VERY least stopped and called my employer. Good luck.
