  1. Advice Needed, New LPN

    I'd also do both jobs. PRN is as needed and most likely a shift or two every month should be enough to keep your PRN status.
  2. Day In The Life of an LPN/pay

    I work in a correctional facility. $18.50/hr. (I'm also a new graduate and this is my first LPN job) Night consists of pill pass and paperwork. I start at 6pm, insulin coverage to inmates at 6:30pm, pill pass starts right after, pill pass usually ove...
  3. How much does an LPN make in the Cincinnati - Dayton area?

    I'm in Ga and I recently graduated in August (2013), licensed in September. My first job was at $18.50/hr. I was just offered a new job starting at $19/hr. Both are with correctional facilities. I did receive a job offer when I first started my job ...
  4. What was your first semester like?

    First semester is nerve wracking. Fundamentals was a breeze (made an A) but I had issues with critical thinking questions in Med Surg. (passed with a C) :/ Care plans are a cinch, just buy a really good care plan book and you're set. Pharmacology is ...
  5. Scared, this week is cruicial.

    I'm sorry. I don't really have any more studying advice besides what you're already implementing but I want to wish you the best of luck. Stay positive!
  6. What is your schedule like?

    Mine is currently Monday through Friday. 2 days in class, 3 days at clinical sites. Class times are 8:30 am - 3:30 pm. Clinicals start at 6:45 am and ends depending on the site. I'm employed PRN at a local hospital so my work schedule is flexible and...
  7. If you don't mind me asking, what city/state are you in? $17 for a CNA is extraordinary!
  8. I'm unsure about the pay because I'm in Ga but I think CNA would definitely help you. I'm fact, my manager has said if she had two applications and both were new grad nurses, one had CNA experience and one didn't, she would definitely hire the new gr...
  9. Which is better?Hosp CNA or Nursing Home?

    I'm not sure about Texas but Ga hospitals can range from $9.87/hr (Grady) to $13.25/hr (Wellstar). These rates are PRN, it is lower if you are full-time or part-time. Nursing homes here are generally lower than hospitals, $9-10/hr. Plus, nursing home...
  10. accepted in Lpn school...now what?

    Congratulations!! :) I was really excited/nervous when I was accepted also. I'm in my first semester and my advice for you from what I've experienced so far is take notes, study from Power Points, make friends/study groups. This is not a competition ...
  11. White uniform

    We're stuck wearing white too. They require either nude or white undergarments as well. AND our instructor is a total uniform nazi; checking our sock color, and makes sure we have on our watch, name tag, pen, pen light, and stethoscope.
  12. iPad for school??

    I use my iPhone and it comes in sooo handy. I downloaded drug and lab apps (PocketPharmacist, WebMD, and Lab Values) and use them constantly. Once I forgot my pen light and used the camera light for assessment of the pt's eyes. The instructor was rea...
