  1. time for a change?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I really doubt I could make that much in this area. I would be happy with 35-40k. Anyway, I just heard that my main job is cutting back again. It sounds like I'll keep my amount of hours for now. I...

  2. time for a change?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Anybody? I'm not sure what to do and probably running out of time to apply if I decide to, but did apply at a local hospital that is hiring in the walk in department for the heck of

  3. messed up

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was supposed to have an interview a couple days ago, but missed it. I'm currently working two jobs and I pretty much like my main job in assisted living as its fairly laid back and I like the...

  4. Nurse Manager? (can't find a new job)

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks for the advice, but I decided I probably wouldn't be a good fit for the position. Anyway, I had two interviews for home health the past week. At one of them I was basically told I don't have...

  5. Nurse Manager? (can't find a new job)

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ok, I've been an LPN for going on 5 years. Most of my recent experience is in assisted living. I did have a job in corrections nursing and a part-time in a nursing home a few years ago. I like my...

  6. Nurse Manager? (can't find a new job)

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    So I take it you would call and ask to talk to the administrator? btw, I noticed a few new jobs in the paper today, but some of the places I applied before. Is it ok to apply again if its been over...

  7. what did I do wrong?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I got a message the other day from a job I applied about a couple weeks ago. She said she wanted to set up an interview for the next afternoon. Since it was going on 2p and I had just went to bed...

  8. what did I do wrong?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, I ended up staying over at work last Friday and didn't call. I was going to forget about it, but somebody that I work with got a job there and she said it sounds like they could use the help and...

  9. New job!!!

    Medsport replied to dlynn34LPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If its like the majority of nursing homes, it will most likely be overwhelming and you will want to quit. Don't want to scare you though as it may be a decent place and you may be one of the few who...

  10. when to call back?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Update guys: I'm still applying when I see something interesting, but no calls yet. I did notice that the place that I originally applied at about a month ago has another ad in the paper. Its a big...

  11. when to call back?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've been looking for a new job for awhile due to hours being cut and no possibility of a raise. I've had several interviews with no call-backs until this last one. I don't want to get my hopes up too...

  12. Career change?

    Medsport replied to andreasmom02's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm thinking of switching as well. I've only had "full-time" hours maybe 2 years out of the 5 I've been a nurse. I'm now at 72 hours a pay and they consider it full-time, but it was 84 when I hired...

  13. when to call back?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I called her back and went in to talk to her two days later. I thought it went ok and almost thought I had the job, but she said she had to forward my info to the front office and they would make the...

  14. is it really that hard to find a job as a LVN?

    Medsport replied to Holdenkristina's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree that a lot of it has to do with your location and who you know. In my area nursing homes or assisted living seem to make up 95% of where you can find a job. It is possible to get into some...

  15. considering corrections again

    Medsport posted a topic in Correctional

    I worked at a local jail for just over a year about 3 years ago. I was let go for "budget cuts" technically, but was on probation at the time for a lot of mistakes I made during the last few months...

  16. considering corrections again

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Correctional

    Well, I called them back and now think maybe I shouldn't have. I was on the phone for about 20 minutes and had what seemed like a mini interview which I wasn't really expecting and don't know if I...

  17. What can an LPN do besides LTC?

    Medsport replied to CloudySue's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    What's pretty sad is I still haven't ever made that much with 4 years experience with a lot of OT and its now 2012, not 2009 to

  18. Lets get a current salary thread going for 09/10

    Medsport replied to Finallydidit's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow, more than double what I make. Maybe I need to move to Canada. How does that compare to US wages and how's the cost of living

  19. clinic job?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have an interview at a local clinic tomorrow and just wondering if anyone has worked at one and if you like it? I like my current job as its usually pretty laid back, but can get stressful at times....

  20. clinic job?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    quick update: I called her back to get more info and pay, ect. It does sound interesting, but the pay is'nt the greatest. It starts out about $1.50 less an hour to what I'm making now, but you get a...

  21. Lets get a current salary thread going for 09/10

    Medsport replied to Finallydidit's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    that would be my dream job! I've almost given up applying at hospitals as I thought they did'nt hire LPN's anymore. I'm also from NW Ohio. Can I ask what area? I'm assuming a bigger city like

  22. clinic job?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well I went to the interview without any real expectations and think it was a really good one. It sounds like they want to offer me a position if I want one. They have a few different ones open. A FT...

  23. Are LPN's being phased out?

    Medsport replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Is'nt this a recurring question that keeps coming up every few years? I recently had an interview at a clinic and she said all they are looking for are LPN's right now and they don't even care if you...

  24. CPR classes?

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently checked my CPR license and found it expired several months ago. Therefore I think I have to take a whole course rather than a renewal. Plus I better do it soon since I'm looking for a 2nd,...

  25. what am I doing wrong?

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm still looking for a 2nd job, prn or possibly full-time if the offer is right due to losing my prn job and getting hours cut at my main job. I've been looking for at least 6 months and had 2...
