I go licensed in MA by endorsement. All I did was go to a place where they take a passport type photo and attach that. I went to a store that sold picture frames and film, and it didn't cost much at all. That was about 8 years ago, but I got 2 pics f...

I just recently went through something similar. I had been working at a job that I dreaded going to everyday. When driving to work my stomach would drop when I saw the building. I had never disliked any of my nursing jobs before, and realized I neede...

Just wanted to add to my post. Nevada did license me a few weeks ago. It was an error on their part. They said that my course was coded incorrectly. When they looked into it further they realized my course was fully qualified. I now have my temporary...

Are there any other army trained lpn's in nevada that are licensed? I graduated from a practical nurse course 300-91c20 back in 97 and have never had a problem getting licensed in NC RI, and MA (where I am currently working). I want to move to NV s...

Sorry to cross-post, but since this is related to NV and licensing i'll post here too. I just got a denial for LPN licensure in NV by the board. I'm army trained and have been licensed in NC (Never practiced there) RI and MA. I applied by endorsem...

I work at a LTC facility that requires nurses to wear all white. I've gotten used to it, and I don't have tons of stains all over my uniforms. Its not that impractical. They just got rid of the caps a few years ago. The residents love that we wear wh...

I think Lilgirl has a very good point. People have varying reactions to pain and just because they can appear stoic on the outside doesn't mean their pain is any less and their need for relief from it is any less than the person writhing around in b...

I work in a nursing home, and we have a lot of female residents that are "female workers only" for their showers and personal care. We currently have 12 out of 33 residents that request female only. Which can be a little hard considering we usually h...

I work in a nursing home. If you work a shift on your weekend off you get a $50 bonus. During the week if you work an extra shift you get a $30 bonus. Anything over 40 hours we get double time. Just picking up on your off Saturday or Sunday makes fo...

I work in a LTC facility. The activity dept is very good at doing things for the residents everyday of the week. They have bingo every morning, and rosary on Fridays. There is Mass on Wednesdays. At night there is Trivia night, and movie night, and s...

LTC was my first job out of Lpn school. Its still my job now, 4 years later. I love it. I like being able to see the same residents everyday. I also like having my own routine. When I was in clinicals in school I didn't really like the hospital. When...

I have a similar situation regarding overtime. only in this situation some nurses at our facility make their own overtime, by not doing their job through out the whole shift. For example, there is one nurse on 1st shift who i get report from. She wor...

I work in LTC. I once had a Cna tell me something about a nurse on another shift. The nurse went into a resident's room to change a coccyx dressing, and the resident had moved her bowels. Instead of cleaning the resident, she placed paper towels over...
