LPNs/LVNs: What's Your Specialty?

Published

Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych.

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.

Specializes in Geriatrics/Alzheimer's.

I was the Care Coordinator for a dementia/Alzheimer's Unit in an ALF until I changed jobs recently and now work the nightshift at a LTC/skilled care facility with an Alzheimer's unit. So I work the whole facility as charge nurse. I would say alzheimer's is my specialty though. Love it!

It's the hospice and palliative care nursing certification for LVN's/LPN's.

My speciality is Geriatrics...in a nursing home. (Seems to pay more than hospitals...especially here in TN.):monkeydance:
