  1. Rejected Apps- getting scared

    So is my experience as a LPN pretty much irrelevant? I've been a nurse since 2011 but an RN since 2013
  2. Rejected Apps- getting scared

    Hello all! I've had my ASN for approximately a year now and while I am currently employed, I'm looking for something closer to home and that will allow me to grow in my skills. I'm getting highly discouraged because I'm getting rejected for pretty m...
  3. I GOT A JOB!

    Congrats! That's the sort of job I've been hoping for as well.
  4. I work in LTC working every other weekend and 8 hour shifts. They'll schedule you depending on the facility's staffing needs.
  5. The New Grad & Charting

    Charting is a learned art, and when I was as new as you are, I was staying over that long as well. Your best bet is to chart right after something occurs. If you have 30 seconds, make a note. This will keep you from forgetting things as your shift pr...
  6. Care Planning Confusion

    Hello all! I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I looked for a while under the "student nurse" tab and didn't find what I was looking for. Anyway, I'm an LPN to RN student and I am working on a care plan for myself in my Mental Heal...
  7. Is it worth travelling 4 hrs to work?

    I would not do it. Gas is too expensive for a 4 hour commute. I'm not close with my own family, so there wouldn't be anyone to watch my children. I would move if it were that important to me.
  8. What's Wrong with My Resume?

    My professional profile would be nowhere near that impressive- which is obvious because you have much more experience than I have. I don't have my ASN yet and I have minimal hospital training. I worked at an LTAC facility as an agency nurse for abou...

  11. What's Wrong with My Resume?

    Indiana's state practice acts are pretty vague. Typically what LPNs are prohibited from doing are determined by the facilities. As a nurse in my facility, I always do the initial admission assessment. I don't do the care plan in the strictest sense o...

  14. Question from a nursing student

    Not an RN yet- just got admitted to the program- but as an LPN, I do have some insight for you. You will find there are floor nurses who would rather you go away and leave them alone. They will resent your presence and this cannot be helped. If it be...
  15. My DON is sexually harassing me

    Ladies, I am at a loss. Since I was fired from my first job at a LTC facility, I've had massive anxiety about keeping a job and keeping enough money to take care of my kids. I worked as an agency nurse for about 2 months while I found more reliable...
