  1. I don't see why you couldn't just start a company and slowly build up business, especially if you are just offering light skills. I think it would be of critical importance to have adequate insurance. Otherwise, create a name and some sort of logo, p...
  2. Board of Nursing Actions

    Just wondering what's happening. I'm going through the process with the board. I'm feeling horrified, embarrassed, and a little hopeless. I'm trying to not build this up in my head to be too big. I have a lawyer. I have disclosed to my new employer....
  3. ADN to MSW

    This is a late post in response to the discussion.... I have been having a similar debate in my head. I am currently an LPN at a prison, and it has many social work aspects to it I love. I am an advocate for a disadvantage population, and I make a di...

  5. conditions in vermont

    If you are skittish about things in general in life it may bother you to work in a prison. And, it does take some getting used to. I am a 36 year old women under 5 feet tall. I am not tough. I have found that being kind goes a long way. I have heard ...

    Nurse atl If you have any interest in working in a prison, there are jobs available. It's really not bad work. I've never felt threatened. Let me know.
  7. Is there a market out there for LPN's?

    Sorry, I'm in Vermont at the border, so, I would work in MA, NH, or VT. I will say that one of the traveler's I work with who is an LPN with years of experience cleared $104,000 last year! I was so shocked by that number. She told me it has to do wi...
  8. conditions in vermont

    Vermont....the climate is cold, if you are renting get a place that has heat included in the rent. I have lived in northern vermont and currently I am living in southern Vt. Up north I found it too isolated for me. It was hard to make connections, fr...
  9. Is there a market out there for LPN's?

    I hear lots of stories about places deciding they are going to an all RN staff, and I just don't believe it. Hospitals, nursing homes, and health care in general are always going to be working on a budget. If they can pay people less to do the same w...
  10. California Corrections New Hire

    I was looking in to jobs in Cali at the San Q prison, and online they have a test they want you to take. What is that test? I want to know what I'm getting into before I click the "take test" button. Is the process of getting hired very involved? Tha...
  11. correction nurses pay scale??

    Vermont LPN right out of school getting $23/hourly base, +$1.50 diff 2nd, +$2.25 diff 3rd. I am probably the lowest paid there (with no experience). It's not bad work, I'll ask for a raise at my 1 year mark. The local hospital pays an LPN I know $13....

    I know there is a big difference in different parts of the country. I am in Vermont. I've been working for 6 months as a nurse in a prison. I went directly to corrections after school. I'll give you a rough idea of what I do. I transfer orders doctor...
  13. Susanville, CA prison question?

  15. New LPN going for correctional nursing.

    I can't answer any of your questions. But, I'm also a new LPN grad and just landed a job in a local prison. I am really excited about it! I like that it has elements of social work, advocacy, and varied technical skills. It also offers better pay tha...
