I thought at least $30. Absolutely! A new LPN can start at $27/hr & be up to $30 in no time! Try Masonicare/or most LTC facilities. Tell them what you want & you will get it with 3 weeks vacation, 2 weeks sick time, plus personal time plus, ...
With a COPD'er the MAX O2 delivered should be 2-3 L. No greater than 3L due to their inability to blow-off the CO2. With only one lung; that's another story and I'm guessing the O2 will now be below the2-3L mark. Once paramedics arrive, it's out of y...
Just to let you know ahead of time that so there isn't a surprise. On long term care (at Masonicare) you have 30 +/- patients. I worked LTC on a holiday to fill in and it's very busy but, most all patients are stable. Your med pass is heavy but once...

Your right! They do have orientation programs and also many I've known seen to get locked in at these two city hospitals because of there continuing education program. But, do consider other hospitals as well. They also offer great pay, Insurance, 40...
I went to LPN school in CT. 22months. Very horrific. They all have criteria for entrance examinations and then we had 50 in the class & only graduated 14 because they couldn't keep the 75% passing avarge. Oh. I weent to pvt. school and it was &am...

Starting is minimum $21/hr up to $25-30/hr or more w/ an agency. Most LTC use pool and and agency because nurses are limited here in CT. They don't like pool/agency because of the high$$$$$ for them. So, now pay is getting better and they tend to sta...
The bottom line is that the nurse on staff is held responsible no matter who did the wrong. I wouldn't woory about getting a "bad" mark against you, your not a nurse and your nursing license is what gets the "strike".
Actually, CT does hire LPN's in the hospital. Charlotte Hungerford, Midstate, Waterbury Hospital, St.Mary's in Waterbury, Hosp.of St.Rhea's and Bridgeport Hosp. Bridg & St. Rhea's have ad's on career builder....ER for Bridgeport Hosp. I'm an LPN ...
Here in CT you can bridge to your RN...just as you can with many on-line prgms. I would suggest going for your LPN or RN because we need more nurses with the shortage that is escalating. Even if your JUST an lpn. I'm JUST an lpn & very satisfied ...
I received about 9 days w/ a preceptor. She was very sloppy w/ her work & quick quick (because cig breaks were #1). I was glad to be let go on my own. Just remember there is always a nrsg super. in the bldg to call. You'll be fine! Good Luck
I'm not sure of your pay scale but, If you borrow that $25g it will cost about $100 a month on a gvt. loan.... Here in CT you make about $25-$30/hour as an LPN. hOpe this helps!
