Ok I have to vent a little here, I just resigned from my first Nursing job after being there for 9 months. I worked per diem, which is like full time with no health benefits. They made me pass meds to 70 patients and do all the treatments. One of the...

Hi, med term was my favorite subject in Nursing school, I ended up with a 99 in that class and I still remember all the words. What we did was make a fun game like Jeopardy only using the med term words. You can practice this in your study group and ...

Thanks for your reply, I am happy to receive your advice coming from a managers point of view. I never really thought what a manager would think about venting about a previous job. I think I will just tell them I left the job to get another job where...

Mudwoman, do you still have the study guides? If they are not too far out of date I may be interested in purchasing them from you. thanks

I am a male nurse, and I have a full sleeve of flames on my left arm. I always wear a long sleeve labcoat because I am tired of people asking me where I got my ink done and if it hurt and so forth. But every one that has seen it loved it.

I never thought it would be so hard to find a full time job with benefits as a nurse with the so called shortage and all. I have went to about every place I can think of in my state and I get the same thing everywhere I go. They offer me per diem job...

Oh, I am from South Jersey, if you dont mind could you please tell me where you found those advertisements of full time jobs with benefits? I have been looking on the career builder web site but its mostly those Bayada jobs for home care.

Thanks for writing back to my topic, yes I am an LPN, I passed my NCLEX back in september and I am still looking for a job. The place I am at now is a nursing home which I am just per diem, and you have to work your butt off and kiss butt for about 5...

I can tell you the role of the LPN in the hospital and LTC since I have worked in both. I dont know about other states but NJ its hard to find a Job as an LPN in a hospital, the ones they do have are underpaid and really just a considered a CNA that ...

I was just wandering if you could tell me how much the LPN-RN program you are doing costs, I talked with a guy from that Indiana College on the phone but the conversation was very vague. Seems like it could be a scam, I am weary of anything online th...

I am a male LPN just graduated and passed NCLEX in august. I have been putting out resumes, filling out applications ect.... and have not heard anything, yet most of the females I went to school with all had jobs and were working before they even too...

You may have to get a job no one else will do, when your first starting out, like a Prison or a methodone clinic..... I wish someone would have talked some sense into me before I went to nursing school, I feel like quitting my job every day and gett...

Dont Crack, that is what they want you to do, I would stay at that job, because the next place you go to will be even worse. I work in LTC and I experience high pt loads, staying late every day, ect... A little trick I do is Flag all the priority tre...

I got one of those cool electronic wrist BP cuffs from CVS drug store, it is a great time saver, because everyone is always using our electric cuffs, and there is just no time to do a manual on 60 patients. ANd it fits right in your pocket, highly re...

:uhoh21: :uhoh21: I am two weeks into LTC orientation, I got to do the med passes a few times on my own, along with treatments. It just seems like everything we learned in class doesnt apply to this job. If you do everything the way your supposed too...

Someone should email them and ask them if they were smoking crack when they wrote that add, hahaha I dont know anyone that would work for that, CNA's make more than that around here

I am 3 days into orientation at my nursing home job, and today I got to pass meds to about 30 residents all by myself. I am on 7-3 and the first med pass took me until 11. I felt really stupid at times, because the regular nurses make it look like ch...

THats why this web site is good, because how else would anyone hear these horror stories. That place I went to has males working in the kitchen as food service workers, so they can get away with saying equal opportunity employer, but they have never,...

I have heard they instated this policy, I dont know if its just in NJ or all over, that you have to get 30 points of educational inservice to be able to renew your license when it expires. Has anyone else heard of this? where can you get these points...

I went to get my physical for my new job last week, The company Doctor (female) says she hears a click in my heart and thinks I have MVP. I have always been checked out by my doc yearly and they never heard this click, I think they are just trying to...

Sorry about your rotten luck, I dont know why they just dont tell us how hard it is to get a job before we enroll in school, If I had knew this I would not have went into nursing. So far all of my female classmates have jobs, but none of the males do...

Well I have some good news, I got hired at a county nursing home, its just perdiem for now, so im set to start oct 10th, wish me luck everyone.

when I had my psych clinical we didnt wear our normal white uniforms, we all dressed down, I wore a dickies mechanics outfit. They do that so you wont draw the wrong kind of attention. I was grabbed by a patient and I just told them that it was inapp...

Well maybe I was looking in the wrong places, I applied at a few private nursing homes, so they can do what ever they want there. They said that the older female residents are sceeved out by male nurses. you know how the elderly are back in their day...

I got a credit card and lived off of that the whole time i was in school, now I just have to pay it all back, that way i only worked on the weekends part time, so I could study during the week. its hard to work full time and go to school, but it can ...
