   I agree you should look for a new job, I have worked in LTC and it is getting worse not better, most places I see now, you have 40 patients and usually just two CNA's. I remember working one holiday in a LTC skilled unit, had 45 patients, lost alot o...

   shadow2 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

   shadow2 replied to chioma829's topic in General Nursing

   one other thought I would like to inject into this discussion, do not be deceived by the high wages offered by travel nursing agencies. They will offer you $24.00 or more per hour for LPN's and even more as an RN. But check out the same print. Tha...

   shadow2 replied to chioma829's topic in General Nursing

   to the nurse with the 36 years in one place, kudos to you, that is good, considering where I live the facilities and hospitals change hands every couple of years and even months, and retirement from these places are a thing of the past. keep going s...

   hi, I read your request, and for the person who is so intent on spelling and gammar I will try to be correct. from what I read, pay seems low in a lot of states. I work for a nursing agency, and average from 30 to more hours a week depending on wha...

   shadow2 replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   You should try the LPN first, I have seen people who just went in for the RN and 4-6 months after they finished they hated nursing. with an LPN first you can start working and find out what it is like, and like previously messages, it gives some und...

    Hi,I work for an agency in New Mexico, sometimes it seems that no one wants the LPN's but then you see ads in the internet and in the paper. I don't want to go back to school as I feel that I am to set in my ways and do not think I could put up with...

    shadow2 replied to pdpeanut's topic in LPN/LVN

    depending on the state you are living in or working in, many places you do the same things as the RN. Alot of places say that you can not do certain jobs but when push comes to shove and with the shortages occur, you do the jobs. also some places wi...
