My first LPN job was at a SNF. I worked there for 10 years and loved it for 8 years. After that we were so short staffed I often worked as a LPN/CNA. Get them up, dressed, bathed if it was their day. THEN do their treatments, meds and charting. It got to be too much and I couldn't take it anymore. I now work in a clinic. I like it but don't love it. I like not working short. I like having support when needed. I like not working weekends or holidays. BUT I miss the residents and spending time with them and their families. BUT I know it was a good move because my license was at risk and nothing was going to change. It still makes me sad though.

I’m an LPN in Alberta, Canada and I LOVE MY JOB SO MUCH!!!!
I work at a busy, inner city emergency room.
we see the people from all walks of life- homeless to the super rich and everyone in between. I work part time and worked really hard to get the job I have.

I work as a Lvn in Ca. Currently I'm working home health shift full time & a per diem Hospice continuous care. I love my job because its a low stress job. They pay a little bit lower compare to nursing home but I'm fine w/ that. I have experience too in nursing home & boarding care. I rather work in a job no stress than to work in a job w/ a lot of stress involve.
