can you tell me what exactly you do or have done in the time you have worked in the ER? That is my #1 floor i want to work on as a LPN or RN... and then cardiac!!! it would help alot if you can tell me what are you able to or allowed to do in that floor so i can get an idea of what to expect as a LPN!!! thanks so much!!

i work in home health and a personal care home and i love it, i've worked in a urology clinic and an obgyn clinic, worked for an allergist , ear, nose, and throat and i liked it. I work for a ltc facility prn and thats not my cup of tea, i'm glad we have nurses who love it though. : )

Specializes in MS, TCU, LTAC.

LTAC here (Long Term Acute Care).... I like it, 12 hour shift.. 3 days a week, its good, better than long term care or nursing homes. my patient ratio is 5 patient per nurse.

BLCS and ACLS certified.

I worked a few years in med/surg and now I'm in oncology and I love it.

Specializes in Internal Medicine, Home Health, Med-Surg.

I do Mobile Care. Like a traveling dr's office. Its cool, not a TON of skills-using but I use my knowledge alot. the pay is great and they are also going to train me to do home health visits as soon as I am licensed.
