As a manager before I officially start an interview I’m clear on which shift I’m hiring for! My facility doesn’t support a “bait and switch” philosophy! I would find another position, this manager lacks veracity and a respect for autonomy! Run as fas...
Hello, I quit Medilodge back in April but as far as I know they were not hiring new lpn's. Martha T Berry is hiring lpn's and I believe the starting rate is about 22/hr for full time employment. You can access their website here http://www.macombco...

I love the Wink brand! They run about 20 bucks per piece, but the pockets are AMAZING!! I can load them with all my essential tools and they never look bulky! I bought Iguana med as well, but wink is definitely my new favorite! They also wash up nice...
I have basic membership so I can't reply to PM:mad: The pt to nurse ratio can be as great as 34:1. I'm fairly new, graduated in Aug, started there in Nov. On my last unit it took me a few weeks to learn my residents so it took me up to 4hrs to pass m...
We cannot use any type of electronic device in my facility. It leaves me at a total disadvantage because I love using resources. It makes no sense to me but the powers that be strongly enforce this rule. Hopefully things will change because I'm about...

Don't fret! I found my job on craigslist! I graduated in August and I was at wits end so I went the nonconventional way. I have a job at a skilled nursing facility, not my first choice, but the pay is good and it's close to my home. Don't give up, I'...
My friend who is a BSN graduate just started there in the ICU, she says the pay is excellent and the campus is beautiful! Orientation is also very generous and they have a 1:1 ratio!
Absolutely! Sorry about that. I'm at the Medilodge of Sterling Heights. I also heard that Clinton Aire is hiring, I believe they're located on 17 mile road, not sure of the cross streets. I applied for Medilodge on Craigslist believe it or not and th...
I gave up on the hospital and I found a nursing facility five miles from my home. My starting pay was 27 an hour. They don't give differentials. I just got my first paycheck and I got a 100 dollar bonus and a Meijer giftcard. I wasn't expecting that....

I know exactly how you feel! Oh the self loathing and feelings of inadequacy. The endless chain of rejection responses to the jobs that you are qualified for if only given one chance, at least one interview. THAT'S I ASK!!! Yep, that was me for 6 mo...
You can do it!!! I'm testing Monday at 8 am and I've been prepping since I graduated in August. I've been constantly praying! I took Kaplan (did EVERY question), I bought Saunders, ExamCram and I've been utilizing the free Exam masters website Univer...
