OK, so I started my career in the medical field as an MA. I was one for a while and was having an OK experience but was feeling like I had more potential so I decided to become an LVN. I transitioned immediately after becoming licensed at the same facility I worked as an MA. Of course taking on a new set of responsibilities. Anyway, I have been working as an LVN for about 4 years now but I do not have longevity at any job because I constantly feel like it's not a good fit so I end up leaving and getting a job in a different specialty. I am still unhappy and not feeling like I am loving my career or job so I find myself just wanting to quit and not renew my license but I have been in the medical field for so long that I wouldn't know what other career path to choose. I do not feel comfortable vocalizing this to coworkers so I figured this platform would be a good place to vent. Maybe I can get some ideas? Anybody else in a similar situation? Appreciate any replies and good luck to everyone!

You should have received a reminder letter for renewal with instructions on what to do. Last I remember you go on the BVNPT website and do it there. You can also contact them and ask them what is the best way. Good luck!

Hi there, I just googled your question and this is what the top result says. I know it's not very encouraging but I wanted to say that if you do get a false positive you can dispute that and say you were not aware of the effects and request a re-test. Hope this helps and I wish you good luck!

Oh, the classic story of MAs feeling inferior to LVNs. I have gone through this one too many times. Don't get me wrong, I was an MA for 8 years before I became an LVN so I am not saying nurses are better or worse. That has just been my experience. I saw a comment above saying they are treating you badly because they are jealous and I 100 percent agree with that. If the environment is toxic and the MD engages that then he/she is equally a piece of crap and maybe that is not a place you should be if you want to grow and not become bitter. If you can handle it then more power to you but personally when I become bitter at a job I hate going to work then I do not perform at my best and I end up being as miserable as the MAs that made me that way. Misery loves company. If you decide to stay I would invest some time in reading the policies and procedures of your work place. Stand up for yourself and let them know how you want to be treated. Usually if they smell fear they will continue to disrespect you. As far as the childish doctor, I would speak to them directly about your expectations as a professional and if he/she has a problem with it then I am sure there is someone with authority that should be aware of this. Good luck!!
