1. Minimum Wage + LVN Wage

   g2255lw replied to g2255lw's topic in LPN/LVN

   Unfortunately, in the SF Bay Area, ~$20 is no where near close enough to be happy and make a good living. I live with family, and so I'm trying to look at my options. I work full time at a job that pays a little more than half of what an LVN makes. W...

2. Minimum Wage + LVN Wage

   g2255lw replied to g2255lw's topic in LPN/LVN

   You're really in no position to assume that "I'm in it for the money". I know how that goes, so please find someone else to flame and hate on. It's unfortunate how often aspiring nurses have to constantly justify themselves and explain to others tha...

3. RNs on MDMA

   g2255lw replied to g2255lw's topic in General Nursing

   On another note, they say that MDMA is quick to leave the system and the chance of being positive for it is low. Is this true? Is there even a drug test for MDMA that hey administer to nurses?

4. Minimum Wage + LVN Wage

   g2255lw replied to g2255lw's topic in LPN/LVN

   Because it doesn't make sense for a burger flipper to be making such a close wage to someone who worked their ass off in school and deals with a more stressful job, dealing with the lives of other human beings.

5. Minimum Wage + LVN Wage

   g2255lw posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I've always been curious about becoming an LVN some day, however, with recent news that the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas will be increasing their minimum wage to $15 by 2020, would it even be worth it to consider working as an LVN? From what I...

6. What have you learned about Death?

   Not at all. Sheer curiosity and something I've always wondered about. How working in healthcare can affect ones view on death.

7. RNs on MDMA

   g2255lw posted a topic in General Nursing

   Recently I've gotten into the "rave" scene, and with that, I couldn't help but notice that I have a total of 3 friends that are nurses and rave on MDMA. 2 RNs, and 1 LVN. Is it considered "ok" for nurses to do MDMA on their off days? Do drug tests no...

8. What have you learned about Death?

   g2255lw posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey nurses! Just seeking some words of wisdom based on experience that you have learned in the nursing field... What have you learned about Death? On a personal, and professional level? What do you tell patients that are scared/worried about dying, o...

9. Best Route to become a Nurse in SF Area

   g2255lw posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey everyone! As you may or may not know, Nursing is such a sought after major here in the area and it's almost impossible to get into a BSN program at any given CSU. It's very intimidating that the state universities in my area receive over 700-800 ...
