    Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    These are two separate things. I wasn’t trained on how to use the epi, but I didn’t go far enough in the muscle with the covid vaccine. Two separate things. My

    Hi guys, So I see LPNs (and RNs) are needed right now to test people and vaccinate people against COVID. I just finished the second dose of my vaccine (Pfizer) and I'm interested. Does...

    Grocery store workers hazard pay

    Lynker replied to 1gr8trnstudent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have no opinion honestly. I get hazard pay at my job. Although, I do agree that the countless professions should be getting some sort of compensation. They deserve it just as much as a nurse/etc if...

    Lynker replied to anxiousnewgrad58's topic in General Nursing

    I just want you to know you are not stupid and people make mistakes. Please don't feel bad. I've had similar experiences as a CNA. One was when I was told to "get someone to help get this person...

    Lynker replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for almost a year and a half, hopefully going on forever! This is my first "career", so to speak. I started at 24. I want to move up in my education and ranks. I'm not sure where and...

    I received a job offer for LTC. Should I take it?

    Lynker replied to nurse1045's topic in General Nursing

    At this point, what do you have to lose? I would try it. A big patient load on an LTC floor can be overwhelming at first, but it gets easier. Currently my first and only job is in LTC, and I love...

    Transfer VN license to another state but did not graduate

    Lynker replied to Kcd808's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't understand this question. In order to transfer a license, you need to have graduated from an LPN program and pass the NCLEX-PN. Do you mean taking your NCLEX in another state from where...

    Becoming a COVID testing and vaccine nurse?

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The temporary part would be perfect, since I'll be going back to school in September anyway. It's from my local hospital, so I applied! Hoping I hear back. But if not, I'm willing to travel a bit...

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    Lynker replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I completely understand calling in "sick" when you need a mental health day. I did it almost every single day I worked as a CNA, while I was in LPN school. I spent my better time sleeping and studying...
