1. Dear God, Help me

   Amber Lynn replied to artsmom's topic in Geriatric

   This makes me laugh! I am a charge nurse on a dementia unit. Out of our 28 patients, only two call out repetatively. The one is a female patient on hospice who is practically bed bound now. All day..."Help me honey! Help me up. Put me to bed. Help me...

   Amber Lynn replied to Amber Lynn's topic in General Nursing

   Moo.. No it is not the one in York. It's a Lancaster office. 18/hr isn't bad at all..I could deal. Especially with no eve's weekends and holidays :)

3. LPN at Urological Center

   Amber Lynn posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello!! I have an interview tomorrow at a Urological group..LPN position. Any ideas on the rate of pay? I wish I could have just asked via phone before setting up the interview, but I know that would have not been proper, but I hate to waste anyone's...

4. Never driving to work in snow again

   Amber Lynn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   Snow sucks. I feel ya. I have a 45 min. drive to work and I had to travel in the recent snow. I have all wheel drive, though. We always have the option to stay in the facility overnight. I work in Assisted Living. We MUST make it to work regardless ...

5. Any other LPN's find LTC too much to deal with?

   Amber Lynn replied to cardiacnurse34's topic in LPN/LVN

   Kitchen work? Mopping floors? What the heck? At my AL facility, I help hand out the meals if I have some spare time, but in no way shape or form do I have to do housekeeping work or anything like that. That's crazy. Out of school I worked at a doctor...

6. Any other LPN's find LTC too much to deal with?

   Amber Lynn replied to cardiacnurse34's topic in LPN/LVN

   Darylin: Why don't you try Assisted Living. Pay is def. not as good as skilled, but its more than say a doctor's office... That is where I work and I am pretty content. I am always busy being charge nurse of the Alzheimer's unit, but I feel like I ha...

10. depressed lpn working in home health

    Amber Lynn replied to confusednurse31's topic in LPN/LVN

    Hello. You will not lose your license just by quitting a job. Are you a new nurse? Or just new to Home Health? What makes you so nervous? Are the type of patients you see too difficult or need skilled care that you do not feel comfortable giving? If ...

11. LVN and dang proud!

    Amber Lynn replied to raebabelvn's topic in LPN/LVN

    You're right, bigtim. It should be as easy as that, but the problem is...for some people it's not. The LPN Vs. RN issue is always there. A lot of LPN's feel inferior. But, with that being said...we can all go on to become RN's if we feel that way. Bu...

12. LVN and dang proud!

    Amber Lynn replied to raebabelvn's topic in LPN/LVN

    You are so right. We should be proud of ourselves. I know I am guilty of whenever someone asks me what I do...I say, "Oh, I am an lpn, but planning on going back to school to be an RN soon." I don't even know if that's true. I should stop saying that...

13. New LVN concerned about Code and STAT response.

    Amber Lynn replied to pageturnstyle's topic in LPN/LVN

    Wow. Your facility should have taught you that in the training process. Shame on them. I'm not sure how to answer your question because I work assisted living and I'm sure every facility is different. Emergency situations are always stressful and I s...

14. LPN's in dr offices

    Amber Lynn replied to cardiacnurse34's topic in LPN/LVN

    I used to work at a small family practice. It was alright. I prefer where I am at now better, which is assisted living. It pays more and I feel like an actual nurse. At the Dr.'s office, I did many cool things like you said. I did phlebotomy, which I...

15. Hair question for the veterans :)

    Amber Lynn replied to mlb1211's topic in LPN/LVN

    When I was in school, as long as you wore your hair up in a loop like pony tail and you didn't have bangs in your face, you were okay. I did not do the ballerina bun. That is how I did mine. Made a ponytail, but looped it so it tucked under into the ...
