   Florida hires LPN's in hospital. but the pay is very low. Also, in Northern VA/DC area, we have LPN's on med/surg floors. Kaiser also hires LPN's I know, and they pay well. Is there a Kaiser HMO in LA ?

   I hope everything turns out the best for your Grandma! It sounds like the HIT syndrome really took a toll ( it's wicked ). I have seen some really sick people bounce back though. I hope your Grandma is one of those people!!

   Where do you live ? Can you consider taking a job as a Nursing tech or unit secretary in a hospital, just to get your foot in the door ? That way, if your employer and co-workers like you, you'll be first in line when a position opens up.

   What is a typical day/patient like when you are doing shift work/extended care? I can't imagine having just one patient for 8 hours but it sounds awesome?

   emidianeRN replied to emidianeRN's topic in Home Health

   Thanks for your reply. I will read through the other threads too, thanks. I definitely love the idea of a more flexible schedule. These 12+ hour days are killing me. I would want to work even shorter shifts during the day, maybe 4-6 hours. Would...
