1. VERY frustrated...

   Mycherry05 replied to ejsmom's topic in LPN/LVN

   I totally agree. You need management to back you up. It sounds like they are letting that family pound you into the ground. It's not right for them to allow you to be treated that way.Good Luck!:balloons:

2. Any Lpn's that would never become a RN?

   Mycherry05 replied to kgard7777's topic in LPN/LVN

   I want to go back, but it never seems like the right time. If I did, I would still want to work the floor, not be a manager. I am mainly after the title.

3. Which job would be better for a new LPN?

   Mycherry05 replied to catlvr's topic in LPN/LVN

   I guess I am in the minority here(LOL) but even tho I like Psych, I would rec. the LTC job. You will get some psych patients, but you will make better money, 10-15 patients in LTC? That is awesome! I just came from a place where I had 30-35.You will ...

4. Jobs for LPN's....is it true???

   Mycherry05 replied to heartaflame's topic in LPN/LVN

   That is so true. Hospitals don't hire us, but there are plenty of other areas that do. I am making 25, and about 47,000 last year, and then I made 23.

5. Iv Certification...

   Mycherry05 replied to ShellyJ25's topic in LPN/LVN

   I wouldn't think you would need it in a ALF, but I would definitely get the cert. In LTC, I use my IV skills a lot, although I have not put any IV's in. I just have the practice. I don't want to use my patients as my Guinea pigs.LOL BUt I am good wit...

7. What Next

   Mycherry05 replied to jean333's topic in LPN/LVN

   I have always worked in nursing homes, but many are now rehab also. If you want experience, a rehab facility is the way to go. I work in a rehab facility on a vent/trach unit.

8. What's the process for becoming an LPN?

   Mycherry05 replied to Im2exclusive's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   i just want to say i think it is never too late. i went to lpn school with a gal that was at least 65 years old. she got a night job right after school working at one of tacoma's hospitals. you'll regret it if you want it this badly and you don't do ...

9. A nurse only 3 months and allready trouble?

   Mycherry05 replied to lvlissl2ebecca's topic in LPN/LVN

   Don't worry. Tell what you know. That's all you can do. If it was not reported, then that's all you have to contribute.Does the charge nurse know anything? Or is the CNA lying about having reported it?

10. Can LPNs make assesments??

    Mycherry05 replied to carlolpn's topic in LPN/LVN

    This is more like what I am used to...Where I have worked in the past few years, or forever, I have always done assessments. BUT, I always feel like I am not good at it. I can't imagine having to have the RN check everything I do. I have worked in pl...

14. Why do I always hear, why are you ONLY doing LPN?

    Mycherry05 replied to agldragonRN's topic in LPN/LVN

    BUT, why sould you have to say, but... to me, that sounds like you feel guilty that you are not an RN?

15. Why do I always hear, why are you ONLY doing LPN?

    Mycherry05 replied to agldragonRN's topic in LPN/LVN

    AMEN to that! I get the same thing, like an LPN is 2nd class. Like only RN's are worthwhile... In the nursing catalogs, I've noticed there are lots of things with RN on them, but not much with LPN. I chose to go for just the LPN, b/c I wasn't sure i...
