   nursingcand posted a topic in Career Support

   I'm a new nurse, working her first job at a wound care clinic for about a month. The job is ridiculously tiring. Wound care is especially tiring because it requires more than just walking steps. I have to squat/ bend/ crouch to look at the posterior ...

   Even an inexperienced person can tell when an RN is tooting her own horn. Thats the last type of person on earth I would trust to believe in.

   nursingcand replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

   I don't need egotistical RNs looking to toot their own horns to teach me what the differences in scope of practice should be for LPNs versus RNs. Down to earth, realistic, HUMBLE nurses only. I definitely know the differences between the scope...

   RN jobs do require some sort of judgement but not nearly to the extent of type of extensive judgement that is required by doctors. Very frequently RNs try to over exaggerate their own scope of practice to boost their own egos. Even if you do use yo...

8. Is it still worth it to become an RN?

   nursingcand posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm a newly graduated LPN. The job search has been awful since I got licensed. Chaotic understaffed nursing homes seem to be the only place that hires LPNs. Nobody wants to work at nursing homes. They have such a hard time keeping nurses that every n...

   I became a licensed LPN in NYC in November. Since then, I have trained a day in a nursing home then left because it was utter chaos there. I felt like I would never be able to keep up with all the tasks. So I switched to doing home care because I did...

    I certainly agree with you that multi tasking, being a quick thinker, having great memory, physical stamina, a laser sharp mind that never gets frazzled are important qualities. But there is just one thing you left out : trying to make an impossible...

    Its been a little over month since I had been applying to LPN jobs now. 94% of LPN jobs tend to be at nursing homes. I spent a day nursing home where I watched a very burn out , stressed, nasty nurse train me. She had to give meds to 30 patients, do ...

    CPAs are paid what they are worth. Nurses tend to get low balled a lot in terms of salary. If a CPA points out a problem, they get taken seriously. If a nurse complains about burn out and stress due to understaffing, nobody cares. Not throwing a shad...
