Medsport LPN

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 now have to go in later and work 2 hours more overni...

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 it.

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 residents and get along with the nurses, but it doesn't ...

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 the up-to-date skills needed due to working in assis...

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 present job, but there is no advancement or raises and...

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 say 6 months or so? Its to the point now that I've p...

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 since I work 3rd and had to work that night, I thought...

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 the pay is good. So I was thinking of calling aga...

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 like the fast pace environment. I prefer assisted l...

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 place with different departments and it looks like t...

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 much, but I think it went well. The pay is about ...

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 in, then went down to 80 with new management and now...

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 decisions after the holidays. Well, I got the drea...

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 hospitals, but they usually aren't full time and you ...

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 there at my yearly review. Although you were suppose...

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 answered all the questions right. The more I think ab...

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 boot...

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 there?

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. Its an assisted living facility and I've been the...

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 0.50 raise if you pass the probationary period at 6...

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 Toledo?

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 with benefits working for a doctor internist, a 32...

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 go for your RN as its not needed there. Of course ...

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, PRN or new job if available. Anyway, I can't seem ...

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 interviews, but no offer. I'm not too worried about thos...
