   DanaMSN replied to brown eyed girl's topic in Ohio

   There have been some ads in the Dayton paper for LPNs in LTC, you can look online for them. Also some LTCs in Washington Courthouse have been hiring recently. Pay is lower in the rural areas though, usually $16-18 for an LPN.

2. Do you need an RN lisence to be a LNHA

   DanaMSN replied to incrediblehulk2016's topic in General Nursing

   Are you talking about being a nursing home administrator? It probably depends on your state. In Ohio you do not need to be an RN to be the administrator but there are education requirements. You might want to contact your state to find out.

3. Workplace cliques

   DanaMSN replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Relations

   I work in LTC and the cliques are terrible at my facility. We actually have groups of nurses and aids that look for every tiny mistake a coworker makes and then report to the DON.

   I have a fellow nurse who calls me by the wrong name. She calls me Diana, Dena, Donna... Anything but DANA. It isn't that hard, call me by the right name please. She claims it is to hard to remember....how about looking at my name tag?

   IbuprofRen and acetaminophRen. If you can't say it correctly just call it Tylenol or Motrin.

   DanaMSN replied to Creamsoda's topic in General Nursing

   If a patient says things incorrectly I don't mind nearly as much as when a fellow nurse does. During school I had a preceptor in the surgery department frequently refer to the OR room. Really? Operating room room? Drove me nuts. Same for ER room...

10. RN in ltc

    DanaMSN replied to obizyanka's topic in Geriatric

    I think it depends on the facility. The RN staff where I work perform the same tasks as the LPN staff with a few extras like admission assessments, running TPN, managing PICC lines etc

    When I worked in orthopedics I hated rotator CUP. Orientate drives me crazy as well.
