1. LPN applying to CNA II positions

   oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in North Carolina

   Yes you can in the state of NC, according to the BON. You might have missed that in my post. I'm just wondering if hospital recruiters/HR will actually HIRE a nurse who wants to "work down".

2. LPN applying to CNA II positions

   oneflyLPN posted a topic in North Carolina

   Hi! I'm an LPN new to the area, still looking for work in the field while I go back to school. My background is in mental health, so I'm signing up for some classes to refresh my clinical skills in the meantime. Anyway, I'm looking at jobs and it s...

3. Further my hands on skills (IVs, phlebotomy, ekg)

   oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in North Carolina

   Thanks I checked them out, didn't see much coming up that was hands on but I also found the NCAHEC website and they list courses (online, practice based, blended) all over the state, so I'm going to do a little more research there. Thanks again!

4. Further my hands on skills (IVs, phlebotomy, ekg)

   oneflyLPN posted a topic in North Carolina

   Hi all! I'm still pretty new to the RDU area (relocated here 4 months ago) and researching EVERYTHING I can get my hands on about the nursing industry down here. I'm originally from the Philadelphia metro and used to there being tons of classes for L...

6. Think I committed career suicide...

   oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   Thanks to everyone that replied and for the hugs :-). For focusedvalpn and Sensoria17, yes I've searched the forums and scoured the BON website. And as far as jobs that don't require phlebotomy, I've only seen one that will fit my class schedule. (I ...

7. Think I committed career suicide...

   oneflyLPN posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   Hi everyone, I'm gonna try to make this long story short. I'm really frustrated right now. I got my LPN license in 2008, got a job at a state mental health facility and worked there for 8 months before leaving. Unfortunately, I left without securi...

8. Thinking of going back to nursing school....

   oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in LPN-RN

   Hi Hospice Nurse! No I don't plan on staying in psych. I need more hands on then psych is able to provide, although I'd like to work in an eating disorders setting like Renfrew Center. And I'm not worried about the work schedule. I'll either be going...

    I'm sorry, what are you referring to?

11. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    I was in agreeance with your post abt McDonalds but then, I can only speak for me MedicineCNS.

12. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    With the McDonalds example, I think the point here is that if a person loves what they do and seeks to develop professionally in whatever it is they do, then it is no longer "just a job". "Just a job" flipping burgers or taking orders may turn into b...

13. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Reading the posts here on nursing "just being a job", it seems that (and I hope I don't get flamed for this, lol) many of the male nurses don't have the same emotional attachment to the job that women nurses do. NOT to say that they don't become atta...

14. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi LilaOR, Well some of it came from posts I've read online on various nursing sites. Other comments came from an instructor here or there when I was in school. I actually had a clinical instructor sit us all down on our meal break one night...
