  1. interview and errors

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just wanted to let you guys no I finally got an interview in a couple days. It sounds like its only part-time to start, but is in town. I have'nt had one in awhile so hope it goes ok. btw, my other...

  2. unemployment blues

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to mention I'm "just" an LPN. I was thinking of going back to get my RN while working at the jail, but thats out of the question for now. It seems like at least nursing homes and even...

  3. unemployment blues

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    I got let go from my main job in a jail about a month ago, but have a nursing home job as back-up. I usually only worked twice a month, but have been picking up some. I also started unemployment and...

  4. unemployment blues

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    I know what your saying, but I saw that one of the applications I filled out had reference forms that asked yes or no questions like were you dependable, hard working, would you hire them again, ect....

  5. home health?

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

    Yeah, that does'nt sound bad, at least your not passing meds 80% of the time like in a nursing home. I was going to apply to the one I found, but noticed it was in Toledo which is an hour drive, so I...

  6. home health?

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

    Thanks for the reply. I guess it could'nt hurt to apply for it. I also wonder if I should apply to jobs out of state? Even though Fort Wayne is in another state, its only about 45 miles from where I...

  7. What states allow LPN/LVN in the hospitals??

    Medsport replied to jeepgirl97's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    They do somewhat in Ohio although I have'nt been able to get in one. I NW Ohio they are laying off nurses right now. I did see that the Cleveland area hires them, but that's a long way for me. I know...

  8. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    Medsport replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a lot. I have just over 30k, but that's for accounting and LPN combined. The accounting degree did'nt do me any good. It looks like I need an RN to make decent money as I have'nt...

  9. Applications & advice

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

    Anybody? As far as the NH hours, my sis thinks I should tell them no for any more than 1 day and my mom thinks I should work all they offer because she says if the unemployment finds out they offered...

  10. Applications & advice

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ok I was let go from my (almost) full-time job about 3 1/2 weeks now. I didd'nt think it would be that hard to find another job (at least part-time or PRN to start). Well, I've applied to at least...

  11. LPN starting pay?

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

    Yeah, that's better than RN's in NW Ohio. But I bet the cost of living is a lot higher out

  12. probation

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I had my yearly review today that was a little overdue. I did'nt think I had anything to worry about since I got a "very small" raise in my paycheck a few weeks ago. I actually did'nt think I was...

  13. Staffing agency?

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

    I'm still trying to decide if I should apply to the staffing job? I might email or call her first to find out if they are all travel positions or if there are some temp-to-hire positions. btw, I...

  14. Staffing agency?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey guys, I really need a full-time job. I've been at 32 hours at a local jail for over a year now and also work at a nursing home every other Sat. I need to make at least 2-300 more a month as I'm...

  15. Staffing agency?

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

    Yeah, I applied for a couple PRN positions last week, but have'nt heard anything yet. Anyways, the lady from the staffing agency finally called when I was home. No wonder I had trouble reaching her as...

  16. Unemployment?

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok, as some of you may have read in the LPN forum I got let go from my corrections nursing job last week. It was usually very stressful and was only about 80% anyways. I also have a very part-time job...

  17. Unemployment?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    I see, so there is no point filing a claim for this week if I'm going to work 3 days, but if I only work 2 days next week I should file? So it stays active until you get a full-time job? I already...

  18. Let go

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

    Thanks for the encouragement. I applied to about 3 places at the job fair, all were either part-time or contingency, 2 others said they were not hiring now, so I did'nt apply to those yet. I have'nt...

  19. Let go

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, I just got let go from my main job. It was'nt a super big surprise as there have been postings of budget cuts and another nurse got her hours cut. And because I have the least seniority on my...

  20. Let go

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

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I was going to call the nursing home tomorrow to see if they have extra hours. They should since a nurse quit a couple weeks ago. I heard they hired a new one, but she quit...

  21. grades?

    Medsport posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I talked to a lady about enrolling in the college network last week and almost signed up. I wanted to think it over and glad I did. I thought it sounded expensive and found out it is a rip off. I...

  22. grades?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for the info. So if I'm not mistaken, the prices and classes you posted were for the ADN program? I'm sure it would be a bit more for the BSN, but then you could qualify for grants and loans...

  23. Government jobs?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    I already did that before I started paying on them. The bigger gov. loan is in the $250 range and the other one I could'nt include because it was from a private company is only around $60, but both...

  24. Government jobs?

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been an LPN in at a jail for a little over a year. It can get hectic, but I like it better than the nursing home. Problem is I'm still at 80%. A co-worker just got a job at a mental health...

  25. Fed Up With People Saying There Is a Shortage

    Medsport replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hear what your saying. I went into nursing partly because a family member thought I would be good at it and I'm a caring person, but also because it looked like a career that would be easy to get a...
