Multiple jobs???

Do any LPNs hold more than one position? Like a full time position at one place and a part time at another? Is it possible to hold more than one position?

Yes, it is possible to hold two or more jobs. Often, one can't get a full time position, so they try to make a living by holding more than one part time job. Home health nurses who do extended care will often work with more than one agency to make up a full work week and/or to have some income when one of their patients enters the hospital, or otherwise comes off service.

Yes, you can. When I left my previous job, I stayed as PRN because I knew they were already short staffed and it actually paid off because I was able to maintain full time pay while i was going though the initial and floor orientation at my current job. If you're somewhere full time, I'd assume being PRN or per diem somewhere else is the best option because the minimum hours at the per diem place tend to be just one Saturday and one Sunday a month. Working a second job part time would be too much for me seeing as usually you're required to work every other weekend as a part time staff....working every weekend doesn't fly with me haha I need a rest period.

Several years ago my full-time job entailed two 16-hour shifts per week every Saturday and Sunday. I was paid for 40 hours and received benefits.

Since this schedule allowed me to have Monday through Friday off, I worked another job during the week for some extra money.

I've worked 2 jobs most of the 6 years I've been a nurse. I'm just barely breaking even as it is as both places are getting stingy with hours even though one of them is short staffed. Plus my main job is making us pay for insurance now and I can't afford it so I opted out. Hence I'm looking for a new job even though I like where I work. I just can't hardly make it there anymore.

I work two jobs. I like to keep busy, and if I was home more we would just be spending more money :D. It gives me a variety, plus if something should ever happen with one position I always have a back up.

In my first nursing job, I worked with several nurses who worked full time at my facility, finished the shift, then walked across the street to work full time at that facility, or vice versa, shiftwise. Sixteen hour days, and at least one of them did it seven days a week. They were the breadwinners in their families and were paying the mortgages on those nifty new development homes they had purchased.

I'm not even that good.

yes depend to your schedule and depend where you work.

I worked three PRN jobs when I graduated because I couldn't get a full time job. I literally had to piecemeal a paycheck together for three months

I work full time at urgent care & just interviewed at an assisted living for PRN work..

I dont recommend working like this. 2 jobs 16 hours a day, etc. Where is the quality care? We are humans after all and if we dont have rest, what type of care are we giving???
