If you don't mind i have a quick question about the program at North, Can you tell me what the schedule looks like for the year? As far as days of the week/ hours. Just an estimate would be great. My sister is debating the program due to having a ptjob and a family so this information would be helpfull. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried at clinics, nursing homes, and retirement homes?? Also, look in the newspaper job classifieds if you're not already, because there are sometimes jobs in there you can't find on-line easily.

I graduated LVN from Alvin CC in May 09 and got a job at a nursing facility where I once worked as CNA. They started me with $18. I continued the RN program same summer and because they wanted me to work too many hours, I looked for another nursing home in Med Center area. I work only one day a week and they pay me $22.50. Everyone say that's too high for LVN but it maybe because of my 5 years experience as a CNA.

kelsey seybold is a wretched place to work. they are currently downgrading positions to save money. Rn-Lvn

Lvn- to MAs.

Soon enough, there will be only one RN per facility, LVNs will be working phones, and Ma's to room.

Since they started Epic, some of the physicians have gotten lazier and lazier, dropping off more and more of their duties onto the nurses.

Just wanted to put that out there, that unless all you want to do as a new nurse, is make phone calls all day, I wouldn't apply to Kelsey.

The difference is because hospitals have to maintain their own credentialing with the state, CMS (Medicare), and JCAHO. While physician offices often do some of the same stuff, most of the clinicians there actually don't have to be licensed at all - they're practicing under the physician's license. I've actually heard of people being hired off the street to work in doctor's clinics - even giving shots, etc.

I wouldn't compare what goes on in a hospital to what goes on in clinics. It makes for great conversation, true, but it really isn't based on the reality of healthcare. There are some physician clinics where there isn't a licensed nurse at all ... and a hospital would lose their credential and accredidation if they tried the same.
