Medsport LPN

Just for an update its been almost a week and I still have'nt heard anything. I've pretty much given up on the one that called before. But as for the local job I'm more interested in, should I still call? If so what should I say? I was thinking just ...

thanks for the advice. Although I don't think I have to worry about getting the BLS for a hospital as its very unlikely I'll get into one around here (as an LPN). I've resigned my choices to nursing homes or assisted living centers. Tried jail nursin...

I agree, LPN's make more than that in Ohio (but not too much more).

I've been an LPN in Ohio for going on 4 years. I've been looking for another job because the place I work got bought out by new owners and they have cut back almost everyone's hours. I got cut one day per 2 week pay to 36 hours a week, which may not ...

I can see your point Katie5, but I just turned 41 and know I'll have to wait at least 3-4 years to get a decent rate on a new house if I dump the current one. And if I'm still single I know I'll most likely have to take another 30 year term out to be...

The facility hired a part-time nurse to take two days each from the 3rd shift nurses so that we won't go into OT for the 4 hours a pay. Does'nt seem like it really saves them that much and most all the employees and upset about it, but I guess they a...

I already asked the DON and she said it was out of her control to give the hours back as they don't want anybody to get into OT. Our census is way down right now and seems to be getting worse. Plus we got denied insurance due to not enough people sig...

Unfortunately no. I am good with computers and can type fairly well. That's one reason I was thinking of getting into the IT field as they are moving into medical now too, but the program I was talking about is geared pretty much to the company that ...

I'm in a predicament guys. I've been at my current assisted living job for almost 2 years. All was going ok for the most part until recently. The company got bought out by new owners a few months ago and they made a bunch of changes. I thought things...

thanks for the advice. I guess I'll try calling the ones I'm really interested in even if it says "no phone calls" as it could'nt hurt at this point. I got let go from my prn job today as their census is down and I have'nt worked there in a couple mo...

I worked in a local jail for a little over a year soon after I got my LPN license and this was almost 2 years ago. I was let go, but they technically called it a budget cut. It was a stressful job and took most of the full year to start to feel comfo...

Yeah, I thought about applying at other locations, but the local jail is the only place remotely close in which I would'nt have to move. Like I said this jail is advertising for prn help right now. I looked at the application and noticed its from a d...

anybody?

If you're referring to me, honestly I don't know. I've been applying for everything from grocery to auto parts store assistant managers and I may apply to any production job that may pay enough. What really has me interested right now though is a new...

I'm considering leaving nursing too. There are a few jobs out there, but it seems you have to have the right connections or just get lucky to land a full-time position even in ltc. I'm finding that most places are starting to hire multiple part-time ...

I got a scrub set for x-mas and just now trying them on and the top fits ok but it has a tie in the back. I can't really tell if its a woman's or unisex. There is not a lot to chose from around here and we have to wear white. I just wondered what you...

Well just found out today we can now wear any color scrubs due to the new owners. I guess I can return the top now. I've got a bunch of different colored tops, but only white and light blue bottoms that fit.

Any of you thought about being or are a DON? The assisted living facility where I work at recently obtained new ownership and I just learned they are getting a new administrator and DON. They offered the DON position to us floor nurses first before t...

Does'nt sound right imo, but every place has their own rules and policies.

thanks for the replies. I did'nt even think about an internet search. I think I found it, but it doesn't say if it is for a woman or is unisex. Here is a link in case anybody has an idea: http://www.walmart.com/ip/White-Mock-Wrap-Scrub-Top/14659646....

I've had a couple "older" nurses flirt with me a and bunch of the senior ladies at the assisted living facility, but never anybody my age or a little younger that I would be interested in.

Ok, I made another mistake at the assisted living facility where I work. I gave a narc that was double the dose that was prescribed. What happened was a resident was OOF for awhile and came back and almost all her orders were the same as before she l...

Ok, somebody I know might have recently found a missing container of narcs that was supposedly signed in a couple weeks ago by a couple other nurses. There are a certain number of sheets, but one less actual narcs. We don't count sheets like most nur...

I have an issue with my prn job. I got a call a few days ago about an aide that apparently did'nt do any showers on my hall the last time I worked (over a week ago). I honestly can't remember which aide she is or what she said so I could'nt tell the ...

^that's what I was thinking too, but what can I do now after the fact? I guess all I can do is be honest and say what I can remember (which is'nt much) and say I didn't know they were'nt done as she never told me (just the two that I can remember).
