3. Pay Rate Jealousy

   holly2422 replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN/LVN

   Suga I can empathize with you. As an LPN you should be making more in theory as the RN ASN and RN BSN should make more than the LPN. It might have been your negotiating that failed. I found myself advocating for nurses, especially LPNs since I'm fi...

   Thank you for your reply...It helps, this was a job I was referred to by an agency. It wasn't direct to the facility. I was given 3 days of training on one floor and set out on another unfamiliar floor. If I had more exp that wouldn't be bad. The...

8. Nurses are truly underpaid

   holly2422 replied to holly2422's topic in LPN/LVN

9. Nurses are truly underpaid

   holly2422 replied to holly2422's topic in LPN/LVN

   thank you guys in my old profession, rude comments and nastiness was not tolerated. To be rude or unprofessional was to be documented on your employment record. It was monitored. So, I'm finding this is a whole different world. To me, I find it s...

    holly2422 replied to rvetch's topic in Online Learning

    Pixie..... In your effort to prove my posting "FALSE", you neglected to read it in it's entirety. You can continue to be arrogant, however, you have no reason to be. You must be a "HOOT" to work with

    holly2422 replied to holly2422's topic in LPN/LVN

    Well... it gets worse as I go on. I have my resume out all over the place and a few new prospects. I hope I get into a better place. So, I had a few more patients/clients. I go to the home, with barely any info except for an address. Medication may ...

14. LPN to RN ADN

    holly2422 replied to rvetch's topic in Online Learning

    I have to chime in...Rose Queen is correct, however, not complete. Achieve test prep is not a college. However, they have online classes that help you pass the proctored tests for Excelsior. Excelsior does not have classes at all just the book wo...

15. Advice for passing the NCLEX-PN

    holly2422 replied to Hay.casey's topic in NCLEX

    Hay.casey Not sure if there is a magic answer here. I'm surprised your school did not have an adjunct prep program like HESI or ATI. It is in their best interest for the program if you pass this test. The more failures the more the chance of the ...
