Recently at my facility (ALF) a resident eloped and the overnight nurse was fired for it. We have resident aides that are supposed to do rounds every 4 hours. The front door to the facility is locked to people coming in but not going out. So is it th...

I am very sorry to hear that about your grandmother, that's terrible. Form my understanding of it the nurse walks around the building every hour, not into residents rooms like the aides are supposed to but still looking and listening for ...

So my NY license is up for renewal but I have since moved to FL and got an endorsement to practice in FL. Should I use my new FL address to renew my NY license or my parents address in NY?

I submitted my fingerprints and paperwork for my license endorsement to Florida and it came back with a DWAI I got in 99 (which I didn't think I needed to state on my application). They sent me a letter asking for the court records, police report a s...

I just went through this with FL( literally, I got my endorsement on 7/2) for a dwai I had 20 years ago Just be honest about the DWI (you were just at the legal limit, thought you stopped drinking early enough in the night, have never gotten a ticket...

Just to follow up incase anyone else ever has this situation I sent them the court records and stuff they ask for. I also sent the description of the course I had to take along with the community service paperwork and paper saying I completed the cou...

So I have been trying to get my endorsement so i can move to and get a job in Florida. It has been one gigantic pain in the butt. The latest thing was my background check returned a DWAI I got in 1999. I need to get my arrest report, court papers etc...

A lot of those things are very helpful. I used memory association a lot. Find one key point that was interesting to me and the rest would kinda fell into place. Also studying in groups or teaching the material to a friend or family member I've found ...

You'll do fine. I did uworld got 50 something percent- very high probability of passing but was ******* a brick, 50 something how could that be good. Well, I passed with 85 (I'm an lpn) questions my first try. Good luck

You checked the wrong box, like I did. Attach a file from the "Check application status" page that says you only want the single state endorsement not the compact state. I'd also submit a copy of your drivers license and the residency declaration pag...

Ah, so maybe nothing to really worry about? When you wrote them did you give a lot of details or just the basic facts? That is one of the things I've been struggling with do I just say I got into an accident, they tested me, it came back, they gave m...

Oh really? I wasn't aware of all that. Thanks, that actually clarifies some stuff for me.

Thanks, I can read. Mine was a DWAI. Not a DWI nor DUI. It isn't the same thing and it doesn't fall under the same section of penal code they mention on the background check page. But that doesn't really answer my question.

Mr. Smith not only do you have a cold but it appears you have fecal encephalopathy as well!

I don't mean this as an attack but did you just use The Honeymooners, a show from 60 years ago to validate your argument? This may have been true 60 years ago but certainly isn't real life today. True, to a point but I think it depends on what you ...

I will agree that the way this is put comes off as an attack but I think the ladies here are taking these words a little too much to heart. Everything he said is true for the most part, and can you deny that women do tend to be catty? Can you deny th...

Not sure if I should put this in LPN or Florida or what So I figure general. I just got my LPN license in early October and want to move and get a job. I have been looking at jobs mostly in Florida (Jacksonville, Orlando, Lady Lake). I have only tal...

Traffic? Couldn't be worse than Long Island! I tried Glassdoor and other sites putting in my info but got differing results from $37k-$43k so that just confused me further í ½í¸†

Thanks for the reply Ruby. I don't know anything about either city as far as lifestyle goes other than Orlando has Disney. I know a few people who live in Jacksonville though. To me it makes little difference it isn't in the middle of nowhere is fine...

You can..somehow...sit for a nationally standardized test...even if the school isn't nationally accredited..for a license that won't be nationally valid anyway...none of it makes sense. Learn Why Nursing School Accreditation Matters | All Nursing Sch...

If you called them from the job site I would say no. How can you abandon a job you don't have? By what you are saying I am assuming you worked at a group home as direct care and I do not believe they are held to the same standards as a nurse in eithe...

Thanks everyone. Maybe I'll just scrap the summary and stick with just the resume.

I just got licensed as an LPN but I have 8 years experience in med admin, assessments and patient teaching through jobs where I took care of people with developmental disabilities and I'm trying to figure out what to put for my summary. I know I want...

how long is too long though? I thought the summary was just supposed to be a quick blurb to highlight your best features, like a sales pitch, highlight the good stuff go over the details later.
