LPNs/LVNs: What's Your Specialty?

Published

What's your specialty? In other words, in which field are you currently working? I'm currently doing LTC (long-term care) at a nursing home and have a PRN job as a medication nurse at a psychiatric hospital. I have worked in rehab, but it is not for me.

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. : )

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.
