Geriatrics or Psych. I work in geriatrics but most days feel like I work in psych, especially on the dementia floor!

I'm probably in the minority, but no, I have no desire to return for my RN. And it has nothing to do with age, as I'm pretty young (26). I'm perfectly content as an LPN with my pay, job, and career...

We have a few nurses who do this schedule at my work, and the majority of them sleep from 8pm-2am, so they get about 6 hours before going in.

$24 an hour at an assisted living/LTC. I work night shift and I've been an LPN for almost 6 months.

I'm working in Geriatrics currently, but I know eventually I want to be in Psych. I LOVE psych!

Obama/Biden.

No, nursing is not my passion. Although I do get fulfillment from it, and I love helping people, as cliche as that sounds. I like nursing because I get a good paycheck, I have flexible hours, and...

Editor, crime scene investigator, food critic, personal shopper. All of the above would be my dream job. But on a more serious note.. Photographer. Photography right now for me is just a hobby,...

I have only been an LPN for 5 months now, but I really have no plans on going back right now, either. I just tell people "Oh I'll be going back eventually" just to get them off my back. But really,...

Hello to my fellow LPN's :) I'm just curious: For your first job, where did you work? What were your hours like? How long did you work there?

I work 11p-730a. 32 hours a week, occasionally I'll do 40 hours, and I have to work every other weekend. My work days usually vary, but lately it's been: Week 1: work Mon Tues Wed -- Thurs &...

I have worked in LTC/assisted living for 5 years (4 1/2 as a CNA, 6 mos as a nurse), and I work primarily on a dementia unit. Is it my dream job? No. Is it my passion? I used to think so. ...

The title says it all. I've been working at a LTC facility for 5 years now. I started as a CNA, and I've been working as a nurse there for a little over 3 months now. When I was hired as a nurse,...

2 hours after I took the exam. This is not the norm, though. Most of my friends that took the exam around the same time I did, said it took 1-2 days for their license to show up. I'm still not...

I work anywhere from 4-5 shifts a week on 11-7. If I get out of work and I'm off that night, I'll only sleep until 12 or 1 and then get up and go back to bed that night.. usually before 2 am and...

Unfortunately, I could NEVER get into a routine when I worked 3-11. Unless you would call waking up at noon, being lazy on the couch, then finally jumping in the shower a routine. A nurse at...

It depends on where you live. Where I live, LPN's start out anywhere from $16-$24 an hour depending on what setting you work in. I'm a new grad LPN working in assisted living/LTC on night...

I did it one summer as a CNA, and I'll never do the 40 hours on nights again (unless it was 7p-7a, but my facility doesn't really give us the option of doing this). I now work as a nurse on...

Sorry to hear of your job search difficulties. From my own experience in LPN school, the girls in my class who graduated and were already working as CNA's, had a more easier time obtaining...

Good luck! It's definitely smart not to wait forever to take them. I graduated May 6th, took my boards May 18th, and passed. As long as you've been practicing questions and reviewed infection...

Not sure about Ohio, but where I live, *starting* pay for an LPN is anywhere from $16-$24 an hour, depending if you work in a doctor's office, home health, long term care setting, etc.

Congrats, LPN!! :yeah:

Good luck!!

Congratulations, RN!! :yelclap::cheers:

Try not to worry! I know, easier said than done. For some states, it can take a couple weeks to process and activate your license with the BON. When I came home from taking my test on a Friday...
