1. Debating on becoming an LPN over RN

   mlclove replied to verywishfulthinker's topic in LPN/LVN

   I myself am an LPN. In my area no oncology specific hospital would look at me let alone hire me. It's RN's only. Go for your RN especially if that is the field you want, good luck, either way it is your choice. Think about what you want, no matter yo...

3. Nurse locator devices...

   mlclove replied to JRP1120, RN's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, those systems sound awesome, esp churchsgirl. All we use is the intercom system through our phones in the building. If you're in a pt's room you can't hear it. Which is quite a pain when there is a dr on the phone who will hang up and not answer...

   mlclove replied to CompassionateLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   I am an LPN and I tried to get a job anywhere after months of looking for a job. Every time I tried for a "lower" position I was told I had too much experience which was absurd because I had no healthcare experience. Good Luck to you though!

8. LPN's who are going on for their RN ...

   mlclove replied to pat8585's topic in LPN-RN

   I plan to go on for my RN, but I also have lofty goals that have nothing to do with money. I like the education and there will be more jobs available. You are correct though everyone is having a hard time finding a job. I currently just got my first...

   mlclove posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   Well I just got my first job. I was so excited. They told me during the interview they had weekends available. Part-time, which was fine until full-time came available somewhere. They called today to welcome me to their company and let me know they o...

    mlclove replied to missa8182's topic in Pennsylvania

    I just graduated from an LPN program in January and I've been looking for a job since then. Most places in Philly want at least a year or more of experience so if you could volunteer or try to work in the field in some capacity. It will help you grea...

15. Suggestions for an eager student!

    mlclove replied to AZnursingstudent04's topic in General Nursing

    I've had this happen to me quite often at clinicals. Just keep doing your best, it's really nice when you change these nurse's opinion of students. That said, it's not always going to happen. We had just gotten a new site for our school and this plac...
