  1. LVN... not what I expected

    ginaolive823 replied to jasnxs84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes sometimes you have to go through more training for a scrub tech program I would look at your local hospitals! Offices typically hire new nurses. If you’re not into floor nursing at all insurance...

  2. Best shift for a new grad lpn without experience in LTC

    ginaolive823 replied to crestina L's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    3-11 for sure - nights you won’t learn much to be honest. You can always go to nights when you feel you’ve gained some knowledge in the field

  3. What to do on your first week job as new grad LVN?

    ginaolive823 replied to crestina L's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Google any medication you are giving and do not know, number one you will learn that med, and number two you will be safely administering and knowing if you need a blood pressure or anything. It takes...

  4. new LVN looking for job

    ginaolive823 replied to Guest973564's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There are more options than you think but do what you feel comfortable. Offices are Monday-Friday typically. Long term care is good to start in so you can get your feet wet and learn. There’s always...

  5. Correct way on passing meds

    ginaolive823 replied to Samantha O5's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I’m sure if your facility knows they are coming they’d love to brush you up on the rules. Hand sanitizer is important and forgotten easily going from patient to patient. Gloves for everything!...

  6. Stressed LPN

    ginaolive823 replied to Tinamae's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Have you communicated with the managers about how your days are going? It sound silly but I suffered in silence at my old job until I spoke up for myself because I can be a bit shy. When sometimes...

  7. LVN... not what I expected

    ginaolive823 replied to jasnxs84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    So many LPNs job hop for awhile to find what’s best. There are more options than you think. I personally think dialysis sounds awful lol but some LPNs love it. I don’t mind long term care. I...

  8. Any LPNs here that make under $600 a week

    ginaolive823 replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Same boat. I make $21 on evening shift right now I have 2 years experience in New York. But I’m going back to day shift and lose the shift differential and will be at around $19. I typically do a...

  9. finding a new LPN JOB

    ginaolive823 replied to Guest973564's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What do you want to do! Do you like the elderly? Do hospitals in your area hire LPNs? What hours do you want? Do you want Monday-Friday office hours? There’s so many options. Go to your typical job...

  10. LVN no experience

    ginaolive823 replied to Ariana30's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I’m an LPN in New York but I’d say standard new LPN training should be 3-4 weeks. I had 3 weeks training at a new job when I was already an LPN for a year. It was just their rules. Hope you find...

  11. Medical Assistant or Patient Care Tech?

    ginaolive823 replied to pumpkinbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As an LPN I would say I have gained a ton of experience that will definitely help me in my future as I continue on to RN school. I can say I don’t regret going at all because I will also be able to...
