1. [CA] Applying to school, but arrest but no conviction

   jjsiegal replied to worrywartinCA's topic in Criminal

   DV, is so common today. It wasn't aggravated battery ----did anyone get hurt?

2. Can't find a job! No job opportunities!

   jjsiegal replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Nursing

   This seems like the logical approach. Take the Job you can get, and then make moves to get a better one.

3. RN OR LPN ??help!!

   jjsiegal replied to LovingNursing20's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think you should be realistic. You are a Mom and no matter how strong the support system is at home, you'll still have mom duties. IMO you should take the Faster route NOW, and get it done. 1yr flies by. 2yrs no. You can get your LPN and then jump...

4. Low salary same work

   jjsiegal replied to Tiabluesky's topic in LPN/LVN

   Look on indeed and see what the ratings from 'all' workers. That's not a bad starting pay and you'll move up fast if you are good (imo).

5. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

   jjsiegal replied to addylpn's topic in LPN/LVN

   I'VE got to speak 'Frankly' (and maybe if i'm wrong someone will straighten me out---PLEASE). The definition of extrovert (someone who gains energy from being around people) and introvert (someone who looses energy from being around people) is LARGEL...

6. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

   jjsiegal replied to addylpn's topic in LPN/LVN

   How were you able to detach? (I think that's a key quality to have).

7. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

   jjsiegal replied to addylpn's topic in LPN/LVN

   "Fake people"...I get that. We only really get a chance to know a few people real well (inside circle, close friends, maybe some family, etc). I agree...a lot of them are Fake. Putting on airs (like Dr's.,)

8. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

   jjsiegal replied to addylpn's topic in LPN/LVN

   I don't think that qualifies you for being a loner. (I got more to come). I think you just need time to recoup. Its a stressful job, no doubt.

9. Eating the patients' food?

   jjsiegal replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

   At least everyone is being honest. If i'm starving and the patient won't eat the food, i guess i'll eat it. ITS GOING in the Trash, so someone should eat it (it would be a shame). Give that food to the homeless or the 'poor workers' who work their a*...

10. Cna incident investigation

    jjsiegal replied to Nnb07's topic in General Nursing

    Jesus....this is a Hard Job! (s/he gets charged with a felony)? Poor Girl/guy (s/he made a mistake, but being charged with a felony (i think that would be more along the lines of 'intentional' neglect). S/he's probably young and was tired and NEEDED ...

11. Cna incident investigation

    jjsiegal replied to Nnb07's topic in General Nursing

    Hope you don't mind, but what state is that (may i ask)?

12. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

    jjsiegal replied to addylpn's topic in LPN/LVN

    I thought this comment was good. I'm extroverted and can relate to this.

13. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

    jjsiegal replied to addylpn's topic in LPN/LVN

    Good and interesting Thread... I wonder if OP is still a nurse?

14. LV, NV (US) LPN student: How much do make monthly?

    jjsiegal replied to marquee4real's topic in LPN/LVN

    Appreciate that FN...but that thread is very old. 2013 looks like last comment. Where are you located? I think which part of the country you are located in makes a big difference.

    jjsiegal replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear about situation. You came this far, and you'll go on (is what you have to tell yourself). Self-love, taking care of yourself and you family right now. There are "no perfect human beings" so don't be hard on yourself. Just be upfront abo...
