  1. Can LPN's really make good money

    Medsport replied to pat8585's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well it took me almost 2 years to get my first full-time job and I still have to work a prn job because of all my debt and school loans. It only pays about 15/hr and "would" be good enough money if I...

  2. Would you take the flu shot?

    Medsport replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would get one if my employer offered to give me one. But that probably won't happen as they are hiring an outside company to do the residents shots for some reason. I've only got one flu shot my...

  3. prison?

    Medsport posted a topic in Correctional

    What are the pluses and minus of working in a prison? You see, I'm an LPN and worked at a local jail for a little over a year. It was very stressful with the intakes everyday and occasional...

  4. prison?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Correctional

    Yeah it is through a staffing place, but I'm not sure if its a contract or temp-to-hire or what yet. I guess that would be an important issue as I was let go from my last job because of the budget and...

  5. Prison?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Anybody have experience working in a prison and if so what were the pluses and minus? You see, I worked in a local jail for a little over a year. It was very stressful with the intakes everyday and...

  6. Prison?

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

    No replies? I'm starting to have second thoughts about the prison job. After doing some calculations, I discovered that even though the pay up front would be a lot more, it looks like it will pretty...

  7. too far?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting to feel guilty now about not going or calling or anything. I hope I did'nt mess up an opportunity. The other place (prison) has'nt sent their info yet so I'm wondering about that too. I...

  8. too far?

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I just got a call for an interview at a veterans home. I'm not sure if its a nursing home or assisted living yet, but I think its state run so the pay and benefits should be really good. Problem...

  9. too far?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I decided at the last minute that it was too far, so I did'nt go. I mean it would be about a full tank of gas to go there and back. If it did sound good I would have to search for a house or...

  10. too far?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    Well I am single, no gf at the moment, no kids. I do have family (parents and sister) in the other town I work in. But that job is only about 20 miles away. I was actually thinking of starting to look...

  11. flu shots job

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was wondering if any of you have worked at an immunization clinic giving flu shots? There was an ad for a temp position about a month ago that I applied to and they called to set up an interview,...

  12. LTC, Home Health, Hospice???

    Medsport replied to TatianaHdz's topic in General Nursing

    In your situation, being in a rural area and the fact you want to work in LTC or hospice and don't need the extra money, I would go for the RN. In my case, I wanted to work in a hospital and did'nt...

  13. flu shots job

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

    That does'nt sound bad. What about the work? I'm assuming its mostly giving the shots. I have'nt done many injections lately as I've been working in an assisted living facility and have only done a...

  14. LPN starting pay?

    Medsport replied to dana0509's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Man, I'm only making 13.50/hr here in NW Ohio. But it is an assisted living facility and I do get about a $2/hr "bonus" after 3 months and at a year to promote longevity as they have had a lot of...

  15. DNR Status

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    What is the difference between DNR arrest and DNR comfort care? I'm thinking the arrest means you only do CPR and the comfort care you do nothing correct? I work in a long care facility and even the...

  16. Craigs List?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Is Craigs list legit? I stumbled upon it trying to find a place to sell my car and found a bunch of postings for nurses. A lot of them are home health it looks like and some go to a dead link or an...

  17. return to work

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just started a new job this week at an assisted living facility. Its going ok I guess. Its a nice place and the staff and residents seem friendly. Of course there are problems like the pay is'nt the...

  19. 2nd interview

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just had my 2nd interview at an assisted living facility a couple days ago. I guess it went ok, but was pretty short. I was actually called in a couple days early as the owner was in town. I know...

  20. 2nd interview

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

    Just thought I'd let you guys know I was offered the job yesterday and accepted. It sounds alright, but its gonna be hard to get used to the 12 hour shifts. It looks like I have to work 3 in a row and...

  21. home health?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've been looking for a job for about a month since I got let go from the local jail. I've applied at over a dozen places and only got one call for an interview and that was too far away. All the...

  22. Got fired

    Medsport replied to Keenay99's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I can relate, I got let go from my first job after the 5 days of training because I was'nt "fast enough". Then my second job I got let go after a year, partly due to the company had budget problems,...

  23. New LPN having a hard time finding work!!!

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

    Join the club. I've been an LPN for going on 2 years this summer and have yet to get a full-time job. I had 2 part-time jobs, but am down to one that is very part-time right now. I'm about ready to...

  24. Assisted or 1st?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey guys, I finally had an interview today. It was at an assisted living facility. It sounds like it will be much different than the jail or nursing home. I have mixed feelings on it. It "should" be...

  25. Assisted or 1st?

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

    No opinions anyone? Anyway I must have took too long to call back the lady from first call as she said they have no more openings for interviews this week, maybe next week. I tried calling on Friday...
