Being an LVN was very beneficial to me because I know my medications really well, and I can relate alot better to the LVN's that I work with. They are a very important part of the team and highly utilized here in CA.
I would agree that you are working under your own license. I was an LVN for years;however if a task is delegated to you by the RN then it is under hers.

I had to laugh when I read your message about Hillbillies. I moved here from arkansas (but I am not from there). I am a city girl too. It is wonderful out here. So beautiful. I got my CA license in 3 weeks, permanent one. The secret is to call them e...

Wow. I had no idea nurses would do that. I wrote mine with important points of what I had done and achieved at each job. I tried to make it stand out. I have gotten alot of positive responses. When I write a cover letter I stick to my experience.

I was an LVN first for 12 years. I went back to school for my RN when my youngest was 4. I learned to study to beauty and the beast. Congrats on your new baby. I think you should go for your RN but take a program that allows you to take the LVN exam ...

I would take the exam where you are and then apply for a Ca license. I think that would be less confusing. They are all testing the same way but you don't want to get lost in paperwork. SanDiego is a nice area. Welcome to CA.

I wanted to clarify my response about the in home daycare. What I meant was that you could probably do that and not have to work outside and be with your son. I never did have to work weekends. Everyone wants to leave their child with a nurse. I am s...

Every hospital that I have talked to still has nurses aides. We need them even though they don't provide you with nearly enough. The patients in the hospitals now are really sick and it takes two people to turn them etc. I always end up helping my a...

I just made a suggestion. I have no idea what your situation is. I had an abusive husband who nearly killed me. I spent 5 days in the hospital worrying about my kids. I left CA and went to Arkansas. I have just now moved back.

I have very bad memories of that hospital. Granted they were years ago but my experience was not good. I had my third child there and the DR was really mean.He cut me and stiched me up without deadening the site plus he was just hateful to me. It was...

When I was there the pay was not that good. It was a good hospital and the work was not bad but it didn't pay very well. It was a long drive for me so I left.

She loves the school. She is involved in Cross country, drama and track. The problem that I am having is that everything available is so far away. Where do you live now?????

I moved to Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. I have been here for three months. This is a small area but they have good schools, and I have a 16 year old daughter. I think half of my problem is that I don't know anyone. Alot of these positions are word of mouth....

I don't know. How high was your alcohol content. Can you fight it? I got one 15 years ago but mine was marginal and I got off. I think you will be ok if you go to a rehab but you would need to talk to the board of nurses. God Speed.
