    Hello, I've visited this site for quiet awhile but recently decided to join. Anyway, I'm an aide (hope to start nursing school really soon..) I work in a long-term care facility in Bath County,...

    cant_not posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking of finishing my RN up via the internet through the college network. I actually have a cousin who did it, and she passed her RN NCLEX the first time, so I'm really interested in this. I...

  3. Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

    cant_not replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    As a male, and as a nurse, I can tell you that this situation would make me entirely uncomfortable. I’m with you about feeling wired about the male nurse doing all that rubbing, barehanded,...

  4. anxiety

    cant_not replied to LargoLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I know exactly how you feel. I’ve only done agency once, and only worked for about 4 days. I hated it. I felt so inadequate, and every facility does things different, so it’s hard to fulfil your...

  5. any advice for a student

    cant_not replied to LPN0608's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I’ve been a nurse for two years, always wanted to work in a hospital but in the area I live in no hospitals use LPN’s anymore. So I was basically stuck with choosing between a clinic or a...

  6. What's the difference between being Certified and being Licensed?

    cant_not posted a topic in General Nursing

    I’m posting this message in an attempt to answer a question for my younger brother (he’s 18, high school senior.) He’s currently enrolled in a CNA course offered through the local High School....

  7. "Did you just call me nurse?"

    cant_not replied to odobodoko's topic in General Nursing

    I think you may be overreacting a little, but you’re granted that right. I as a nurse take no offense to it. When I was an aide I used to hear nurses say they hated aides, never bothered

  8. Can LPN be supervisor to another LPN?

    cant_not replied to s9t1n1a's topic in General Nursing

    I’m originally from West Virginia, and back there LPN’s could not supervise other LPN’s, nor could they be in any kind of director position. I currently reside in KY, and the Unit Manager at a...

  9. Does your work call you at 0530?

    cant_not replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    When I was an aide I worked in a 180 bed facility, and they were ALWAYS short, and I got a call almost every day to come in. I love doing overtime, but I got tired of it really quick. I just stopped...

  10. Is this legal???

    cant_not posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone, I have a question for anyone who can answer. I live in KY and my apartment is over top a doctors office (the doctor is also my landlord.) I’ve been having really bad problems out of...

  11. Are Any CNA Courses Offered Online?!

    cant_not replied to Batman24's topic in General Nursing

    If you’re not required to be certified, no you won’t need to take the test. Call local nursing homes, a lot offer CNA classes (that’s usually how they stay staffed.) Also check into vocational...

  12. Is this legal???

    cant_not replied to cant_not's topic in General Nursing

    I have no intentions of reporting this lady, as I cannot afford to get kicked out of my apt, and I absolutely refuse to live in on-campus housing. LoL. I was just really curious as to how this...

  13. Are Any CNA Courses Offered Online?!

    cant_not replied to Batman24's topic in General Nursing

    I HIGHLY doubt that there is. CNA is pretty much hands on in the clinical environment, and you’ll need to do procedures in front of your instructor and be checked off on them in order to even be...

  14. Is this legal???

    cant_not replied to cant_not's topic in General Nursing

    I didnt think so. But as I previously stated, my grandmother was actually grand fathered in, but she did recieve a

  15. LPN Cost..

    cant_not replied to BobG.'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had applied to two different schools when I first decided I wanted to be an lpn; first school was 3600, and the school I ended up going to was 4500 (this was a private institution, they didn’t...

  16. Is this legal???

    cant_not replied to cant_not's topic in General Nursing

    My grandmother was actually grand fathered in, but it took 4 years (4 years for what it took me 11 months to obtain!!! lol) This was in the late 50's, and from my understanding there was a huge...

  17. Question for the RN's....

    cant_not replied to nursejessica2013's topic in General Nursing

    ahhh... I hate to out-right say this, but if you ever work in LTC you’ll see nurses do this a lol (if she actually did fake the vitals) I wouldn’t recommend it, I’m no ‘whistle-blower’ but...

  18. Share your 1st week of LPN school experience

    cant_not replied to maddiesmommy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LPN's can actually do more than medical assistants, and have more job opportunities. A Medical Assistant is trained basically to assist the Doctor in a Doctors Office. LPN's learn everything that MA's...

  19. Share your 1st week of LPN school experience

    cant_not replied to maddiesmommy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My first week of LPN school was pretty uneventful and easy for me. I was already a CNA (took cna and home health aide in high school) and already knew about everything that was covered in...

  20. Missing Narcs

    cant_not replied to lovablelvn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don’t think you’re over-reacting at all, and I think the situation should be investigated throughly; specially since you stated that it has happened on more than one occasion. Most facilities I...

  22. abuse charges.. any input ?

    cant_not replied to cant_not's topic in General Nursing

    This was a very small facility, one of the aides that was making all these accusations, was the DON and Administrators sister. It’s a very tight-knit type of place, most of the employees are related...

    cant_not replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    I would say anywhere between 16-24/hr. Depending on where you work. Now, if you like hospittal work, and you're able to do a couple 12-16 hr shifts in a row, you may check into a hospital that offers...
