1. Which job would you take?

   LPNDebbie replied to unbalanced's topic in General Nursing

   Definitely job #1. More pay, less to spend at daycare and that money/day saved can be time spent with your children.

   Awesome info, thank you! I work 4 days a week with 12-13 hr days each and one night shift. I'm exhausted. I need to work 4 days a week to pay my bills but I can do coding at home and drop the night shift at work ?

   Thanks for the options! I've worked home health for years and also got a taste of hospice. Not interested in either. I have been working in Skilled Living for the past 2 months and I think I found my fit. It's still heavy with med passes but it's not...

   Hello, I worked in home health. I just got hired with an Assisted Living Facility and start Monday so we'll see how that goes. Being an LPN, we are restricted to what we can do. I do not plan on becoming an RN. I am sure an LPN cannot be a flight nur...

   Thanks for the input. I will definitely look ok into that! For now, I have an interview tomorrow at an Assisted Living facility. I am overwhelmed at SNF's and bored working home health. Hoping to meet in the middle!

   I'm glad I'm not alone. My next step is to try Assisted Living. It can't be as stressful as skilled living. I have not considered what you recommended but I definitely will. I just hate school and I struggle with ADD. I would also love to work from h...

   That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. We work so hard for our licenses and get easily punished. I can't get used to always having my license being held over my head.

   I'm sorry to hear! I can tell you, it's not easy to switch careers at our age because we are so used to doing a particular job for so long. I've been fired for giving 2mls of insulin that ended up sending my patient to the hospital even though she ne...

   I have been a nurse for almost 3 years and have not yet found my niche. I am 44 yrs old and have been an admin assistant for most my life. I've worked in dialysis, home health (visits and shifts) and 3 different LTC's with experience working every sh...

10. Quit my job for School?

    LPNDebbie replied to LPNDebbie's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Many years later, I wanted to provide an update. I started LPN school April 2010 and graduated Jan 2012. I now work 13 hr shifts and find it, yet again, difficult to go back to RN school with these hours. I work Thurs-Sun nights so my only option wou...

    LPNDebbie replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior

    Tried that too. I just want to play the videos about how to navigate around the site and other things. Can anyone else view them?

    LPNDebbie replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior

    Tried that too. Even my boyfriend, who builds computers, tried everything and nothing worked. Even got in touch with Excelsiors IT dept to no avail.

    I ordered the ATI Teas study Manual version 6. This can be best found on abebooks dot com for under $14 new. Everywhere else is $30 or more. I haven't studied as I may not do my RN ASN. Good luck to you!
