I dont think it is a violation simply because Guided tours are done at requests daily at most places. No patient info or names should be given out and things such as this but a tour is not from what I have witnessed.

I was a new Grad 2 years ago, I was hired on at an LTC. I just got hired on at a mental hospital and although it has only been 2 years since graduation I don't feel comfortable in an acute hospital setting. I feel you lose anything you do not use and...

awesome, Congrats! I never have had an official interview until the same week you had one. I thought for sure I bombed it because I sounded so unsure of myself, I was so nervous! Glad you got hired! Congrats again! :)

I agree, I would interpret that as 2 separate orders. I too would have asked, I was always the nurse calling our Pharmacy to check things, as I am still new myself lol
well she is in the LPN board, we should be able to speak freely, even if she did offend someone such as a CNA. I see that she didn't mean offense to a CNA but we went to school, got a few more letters behind our names and should be able to be proud! ...

I am in central Florida, I make as a new LPN 16.49 but my company doesnt offer shift diffs. I work 11-7 and every weekend, other companies would be paying me at least 3$ more for that from what I have heard.
I am a newly licensed LPN in a LTC unit, not the acute side and I need my RN for everything I am not allowed to do. RNs are treasured in my LTC unit :)

I will tell you this, I worked for 2 yrs as a CNA at a LTC facility and the nursing staff and us CNAS were always bickering, they had favorites it was just a mess. But I am now working as an LPN at a different LTC and the CNAs all respect the nurses ...

NCLEX was by far not the "hard part". I feel you havent learned anything but the basics. As I am also a new nurse just licensed in July. I have my first LPN and job for 3 weeks now and I have only touched the tip of the iceburg of learning.
angelabLPN replied to Bigmaine33's topic in LPN/LVN
hang in there. Are you keeping your availability open? I was very fortunate to get a job within 2 weeks of passing my nclex. I think the only reason I did was because I called a place and changed my availability to 11-7 and they hired me that day! Yo...
