1. Anybody work agency full time?

   ShortyLPN replied to Diary/Dairy's topic in Agency

   Hi, I'm in the Indianapolis area as well. :) What I've done is apply to two different agencies, although my one has been pretty good about keeping me full time. I have had some trouble with low census though. Also, the comment about experience with ...

2. Cat Calls

   ShortyLPN posted a topic in Correctional

   Hey ya'll, I've got a feeling I already know what the answer is, but I think I'll get the opinions of you seasoned correctional nurses. How do you cope with all of the cat calls and sexual harrassment that goes on? I just started going to the county ...

3. General Healthcare Resources???

   ShortyLPN replied to ShortyLPN's topic in Indiana

   Thanks foryour reply! I'm so glad to hear that. Heather is going to be my scheduler I think. I've only talked to her once to tell her what I wanted. Did you get the hours you wanted and everything?

4. Any Vincennes University students out there??

   ShortyLPN replied to fullco's topic in Indiana

   Hey! Actually, I would be done but I had to drop out for personal reasons. I'm taking courses right now to get my BSN through ISU. I wish you luck through all of it. Med/Surg was tough, I'll tell you that right now. So, you'd better get ready to st...

5. General Healthcare Resources???

   ShortyLPN posted a topic in Indiana

   I am moving to Indy and have been talking with an agency called General Healthcare Resources. Has anyone heard of them or have any experience with them? The lady I have been talking to seems very nice and the communication has been excellent. I have...

6. Moving to Vincennes area

   ShortyLPN replied to ReluctantMonk's topic in Indiana

   I absolutely agree with the South Knox suggestion. I went 2 years to Vincennes and finished out at South Knox. I wish I had gone there long before I did. Good luck in whatever you wish to do! :)

7. Intelistaf

   ShortyLPN replied to Kirstie04's topic in Agency

   Hello! I worked for Intelistaf in the Carbondale, IL. area, and I really liked it. The recruiter and staffer were bothextremely nice. I worked the hours I wanted to work and the pay was great. There was an incident with a nursing home that I worked a...

8. Moving to Vincennes area

   ShortyLPN replied to ReluctantMonk's topic in Indiana

   Hello! I was born and raised and went to nursing school in Vincennes. I'm an LPN so I'm not sure of the pay rates for RN's. I used to work for Good Samaritan Home Care and liked it okay. From what I know, they are better paid than the hospital RN's. ...

9. Frustrated

   ShortyLPN replied to ShortyLPN's topic in Indiana

   Thanksall for your posts! Funny you should say that..I'm talking with a company now about a correction facility position. I'm a little nervous, but willing to give it a chance. I've tried St. Vincent and Clarian..they all want RN's. Well thank you al...

10. Thinking about getting into corrections....

    ShortyLPN replied to ShortyLPN's topic in Correctional

    Hey all. Thanks so much for your honesty. You're right, all everyone says is how much they love it and etc. Now I'm kind of doubting it. Would med. security be as bad as what you previously posted? Thanks again.

11. Thinking about getting into corrections....

    ShortyLPN posted a topic in Correctional

    Hello! I have been talking with a facility about one of their openings in corrections. I am just a little nervous about it. I'm afraid that I'm not "hard" enough for it...I don't mean hard...I just get emotionally attached sometimes. Has anyone had...

12. Do you have a diagnosis of mental illness?

    ShortyLPN replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Thank you all so much for your stories. I was diagnosed with Bipolar I-mixed about 4 months ago, after being misdiagnosed for approx. 10 years. It's so great to hear all of these things when you've felt so alone in your illness. I've always been...

13. Frustrated

    ShortyLPN posted a topic in Indiana

    Hey all. I'm moving to Indianapolis in December and I'm getting extremely frustrated with the job outlook there. It seems all there is is LTC or home health. Now, I have done both and there's nothing wrong with either of them, but I guess I just exp...

14. Moving to Indiana soon!!

    ShortyLPN replied to gn04's topic in Indiana

    \I absolutely agree with this statement. I grew up in Vincennes. I got my LPN education there. The pay is rediculous, especially when you can drive 45-60 min to get better pay. I acutally took a weekend job in Louisville one time, and they paid me al...

15. LPN to BSN from ISU

    ShortyLPN replied to J Lynn's topic in Indiana

    Hey Ya'll. I haven't posted in quite a while and I saw this thread. I am enrolled in The College Network. It is a good program...but be very careful..it can be misleading. The college network is actually a publishing company. They provide you with st...
