1. New Nurse Help

   Chewy525 replied to Amanda2121's topic in LPN/LVN

   Being a nurse you have many responsibilities..so if you "don't like all of the responsiblity" then maybe nursing is not for you. As a new grad or even a new employee, you can not be picky as to what shift you work or even which days you are schedule...

2. New LVN wondering about employers working with my school schedule!

   Chewy525 replied to texasjmn's topic in LPN/LVN

   Everyone has life circumstances when they can't work certain days. I would let employers know up front what days you are not available to work and if they really want you they will work around your schedule:)

   Chewy525 replied to gracelikerain's topic in General Nursing

4. How strict are employers in screening people with "1 year RN experience?"

   Chewy525 replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

   I know at the hospital that I work at they count how many hours of work you put in not how many years. That's what they use to figure out seniority levels also. Hopes this help.

5. Is it as hard for Lpn's too?

   Chewy525 replied to UpstateNyDollCna's topic in LPN/LVN

   I didn't have a hard time looking for a job. I got hired as an LPN 2 weeks after passing my boards. The hospital that I will be working at is hiring LPNs and there are many job postings right now. I also worked as a CNA the whole time I was attendi...

6. Are LPN's being phased out?

   Chewy525 replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN/LVN

   I'm a new grad LPN (graduated in May, passed boards in June), I just got hired at a hospital so I'm guessing it depends on where you work at regarding the "LPNs being phased out." There are actually many job listings for LPNs at the hospital that I'...

   Yes, there were lots of SATA. Just be prepared. I had 85 questions on my NCLEX PN and I lost count after 10 SATA. I remember getting three in a row of SATA towards the end of the test. Found out I passed this morning, so glad to get that one over...

    Chewy525 replied to sverner's topic in NCLEX

    I took my NCLEX PN this past Friday June 10. The computer shut down on me at 85 questions. I'm not sure how I did yet but I will probably find out on Monday or so. I did the PVT and got a "good pop up." Yes the test was a tough one. Study hard!
