   nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in California

   I've been hired by Kaiser as a clinic LVN in the inland empire. There are more openings and postings all the time. My friend in San Diego also is working as an LVN at Kaiser, but through a registry. To my knowledge, there are no plans to shuffle aro...

2. california working lvn

   nursecrickett replied to iluvmynavyman's topic in LPN/LVN

   I didn't work when I did mine. Lots of women did. It was harder for them, and their grades weren't as high as the ones that didn't, but I realized that we "all" became nurses, no matter what we did along the way..... If you can balance work, time to ...

3. Kaiser LVNs Anyone?

   nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in California

   I wasn't looking for a post reply "to my liking". I was simply trying to figure out the real deal with Kaiser. It is obvious that different areas have different things going on. I appreciate all of the replies and assistance in my quest for answers....

4. Kaiser LVNs Anyone?

   nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in California

   I'm really not trying to argue with anyone or debate the issue. I live in the desert in Cali, and they "are" presently hiring LVNs......since this is a union position, how can they somehow "get rid of" or "move into another position" an LVN....that d...

9. Kaiser LVNs Anyone?

   nursecrickett posted a topic in California

   Hello, I'm searching to find out if any of you work for Kaiser as an LVN? I'm wondering what your experience has been, if you get to practice as an LVN or mostly in MA capacity, and most of all, if Kaiser has been a good company to work for. Help a...

10. Highest paying LVN job??

    nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in LPN/LVN

    Really.....San Fran is THE most expensive place to live....houses run 600,000+ and thats probably not in the best neighborhood. Most run a mil or more.....CRAZY....so $20 something an hr isn't doing squat there!! Crickett

    I'm an LVN in a pain management clinic. I work pre-op putting in IVs (with an IV cert), and I also work in recovery taking out the IVs, charting, and making sure they are ok to leave. The only thing I don't do is push the abx if they need them prior ...

    I never got a call back from them, so I assume they hired someone else anyway. Oh, well! Crickett

    nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply, I was wondering how they handle the clinical portion. Are you in California? How much does the program run? How long does it usually take? Is it at your own pace? Thanks for the discussion! Crickett
