    Nursing Home NA nightmare

    Hoosier_RN replied to PunkinNoir's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Nothing happens because many states have mandated minimum staffing, which is a joke. If they have a warm body, and none coming through the door, they aren't going to put that warm body out, plain and...

    Switched to LVN from the Business World and am UNDERWHELMED!

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest1188630's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Typically, there's a break area that has microwave, etc. Sometimes you even get to go there ? Honestly, some facilities/settings are better about breaks than others. That being said, you can...

    Switched to LVN from the Business World and am UNDERWHELMED!

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest1188630's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Short answer, unfortunately, yes, it's a standard for some programs. It's some school dependent, some area dependent. A clinical site may have "x" availability for conferencing or planning. In that...

    Hoosier_RN replied to RoseRed89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    100% this, they want someone who can hit the floor running if you're not a new grad Also, try corrections and dialysis. Both desire experience, but are willing to work with most

    Trying to find a job after a long break

    Hoosier_RN replied to RoseRed89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Most PRN positions require solid experience, as you won't get a long orientation and will be expected to come in and hit the floor running. Kind of like travel or agency

    Hoosier_RN replied to newgrad41's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I went back and read this twice. This nurse went through a staffing agency. The agency and LTC facility doesn't care about experience, or lack of. In fact, being with agency, this nurse was lucky to...

    ❤❤❤ Be safe if you and Belinda need to go out. I don't know if it's bad where you are, but it's sleeting here. My beloved is stuck up north, which I hate, but I'd rather he be safe than

    Depends on your setting. We have 4 NPs, 2 PAs and 5 MDs for our dialysis group. All wear scrubs when they round, and in their offices (also in our

    How would you deal with a nurse who is struggling to show up to work on time?

    Hoosier_RN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    In saying this, you're saying that you only want to hear what is nice and telling you that it's all okay, but other nurses need to understand it. That, unfortunately, is not helpful to you, and is not...

    Advocating for a grade appeal for myself and other students. Do we stand a chance?

    Hoosier_RN replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

    I agree with you. The world only needs only so many MBAs, social workers, lawyers, etc. Someone still has to be a plumber, electrician, lay roadways, set steel for buildings, etc. Those things don't...
