  5. Job as Pharmacy technician?

    I worked as a pharm. tech for a month. I was already an LPN. If you are a nurse, it will drive you crazy. Pharm techs FILL the prescription. I worked there 2 weeks and I was filling meds. The pharmacist just opens the bottle, looks at it, and off it ...
  6. I lived in West Frankfort/Christopher IL most of my life. Graduated nursing from Rend Lake College. I live in Southwest Florida now. LPN roles are very different here. We can do IV pushes, hang TPN, and much more!

    I also have a question about "at will" states. I though that meant that you could be fired at anytime, not that you can quit without notice. Does anybody know?
  11. I'm drowning...advice please!

    Although my situation is different, I understand how you feel. I just started a thread about quiting my current position. I am a new nurse, and unlike some seasoned nurses I will not say to "suck it up". Life is to short, and family time is to valuab...
  12. I need a good excuse to quit LTC job

    I have pretty much stayed at home with my child since I got my lic. The place that I am working at is just terrible. Any place will be an improvement. I'm thinking about a doctors office position I saw advertised. One more question, if I do not give ...
  13. I need a good excuse to quit LTC job

    What is the shortest amount of notice you can give that is acceptable? the ltc facility is currently at full staff.
  14. I have decided to leave my LTC. I really feel like the working conditions there are putting my lic. at risk. The only thing is I have limited nursing experience, and I want them as a reference. I guess what I'm asking is, what is the best excuse for ...
  15. skills review

    I found out through other nurses that they do it for state survey purposes. That way they have proof you knew correct procedure. I also found out it is the time to ask any questions about clinical procedures. We are also having a resp. therapist give...
