  1. what am I doing wrong?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  2. CPR classes?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  3. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    Medsport replied to ashfost's topic in First Year After Licensure

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

  4. job in another state?

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

  5. job in another state?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  6. job in another state?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  7. job in another state?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  8. need a new job

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

    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...

  9. need a new job

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

  10. need a new job

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

    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...

  11. try corrections again?

    Medsport posted a topic in Correctional

    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...

  12. try corrections again?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Correctional

    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...

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

    anybody?

  14. Considering leaving nursing b/c of low job market for new grads

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

    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...

  15. Considering leaving nursing b/c of low job market for new grads

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

    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...

  16. scrub tops

    Medsport posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    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...

  17. scrub tops

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Men in Nursing

    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...

  18. DON?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

  19. Write up/ disciplinary action

    Medsport replied to Rk222's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

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

  20. scrub tops

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Men in Nursing

    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:...

  21. The "Flirt"

    Medsport replied to exit96's topic in Men in Nursing

    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

  22. med error and write ups?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

  23. missing narcs

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

  24. what to do?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

  25. what to do?

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

    ^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...
