   lovedijah replied to textucker's topic in LPN to RN

   lovedijah replied to Nursebetty2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Im in Georgia now and make 16/hr as a new grad. This tends to be average unless you have tons of experience or work in prisons or home health. Oddly enough, my family may move back to NJ after being...

   Sorry it's taking so long. We have a lot of Florida nurses come over at my job. I've heard of a 2-3 month wait. What state is your license

4. Are you bored at work?

   lovedijah posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Would you rather be bored or busy for the same amount of pay? I left a very busy LTC facility to go to a very very slow facility. I make the same amount of money. The most I have is two patients vs...

   lovedijah replied to addylpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    lovedijah posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just looking for advice. I'm an LPN. Graduated in August, passed boards and started working in September. I was lucky to get a job offer before school was over. My job waited almost 2 months for me to...

11. Nursing specialty that requires minimum patient contact and best hours?

    lovedijah replied to tsipareht's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in a non medical facility for people with mental disabilities. You definately deal with patients, but not in a traditional way. Most can do their own ADL's. There is MRSA, hepatitis and all...

12. Something not right

    lovedijah replied to KRSLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'll be honest, I'm not sure being an LPN is "worth it" in certain areas. And heck, I'm an LPN. Some of my classmates graduated only to find jobs making $10 an hour. I made more money than that...
