  1. Random tests?

    Medsport posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been a floor nurse at various nursing homes for over 10 years now. I've never had to take a drug screen except for pre-employment. My current job is probably the best one I've had. The pay is...

  2. Random tests?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I should try CBD oil first. I know several nurses that use it. I have heard that you do have to be careful with that too and make sure its from a reputable company and doesn't contain THC. One...

  3. Random tests?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work in a hospital, but could stop smoking anytime. I just don't want a flare up to come back. IMO, it seems like we are getting discriminated against for working in the medical field. What...

  4. PTO payout

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I recently accepted a new job that is half the distance and pays about $2 more an hour than my present job. I like my present job, but the drive is getting old and the pay is more or less stagnant. So...

  5. time for new job?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've been a nurse for almost 9 years, mostly LTC. Been at present position about a year and half. Its a basic NH with a "behavior" unit I work at least once a week. It can be very challenging at times...

  6. What are registries paying LVN's in 2017

    Medsport replied to gethealthy2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's ridiculous. Its more than I made my first LPN job, although that was almost 9 years ago. I only make a few dollars more than that now, but it looks like pay is starting to go up a lot of places...

  7. time for new job?

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

    Anybody? I still keep going back and forth as to take it or not. I was supposed to send the paperwork back for background check and drug screen, but haven't yet and its been almost a week. Do you guys...

  8. Still NO job

    Medsport replied to lovingme01's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Getting the first job is hardest. After you have some experience its a lot

  9. let go

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Okay, I was let go from an AL job I'd been at for over 5 years. Basically for sleeping on the job. I was on my break and was written up for it earlier this week. I guess I should have reviewed the...

  10. let go

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

    Well now I've got another predicament guys. I started a new job last week at a place that's a little further away, but they pay is pretty good. The med passes are really heavy and it looks like I will...

  11. let go

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

    Well because they just took me off the schedule and never called me back about picking up any hours. I only vape for the nicotine because I believe it helps my

  12. let go

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

    Anybody? I'm starting to really get discouraged. I've applied at a half dozen places and yet to hear anything. My mom thinks I should call the place that was supposed to get back to me last week, but...

  13. let go

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

    I'm starting to think I'm SOL. I thought my interview went well and she said she would let me know by end of the week. She said she had to contact my references and the job I got fired at so I was...

  14. let go

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

    Thanks for the advice. Well for one, I was only sleeping on my break which the previous director said was okay as long as we were off the clock. I know now I should have checked the handbook because...

  15. Insurance

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Any tips on where to find affordable insurance? My main job is making us pay for insurance now. Its going to cost about 180 a month and I was just barely breaking even when I wasn't paying and thats...

  16. Insurance

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

    Well for me its not affordable, especially when I can barely break even before paying the extra 180. A quick search at the health care website lowest is about 217. I think these plans are crazy. With...

  17. Multiple jobs???

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

    I've worked 2 jobs most of the 6 years I've been a nurse. I'm just barely breaking even as it is as both places are getting stingy with hours even though one of them is short staffed. Plus my main job...

  18. salary

    Medsport replied to simplysw33t's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Northern Ohio/$15 in AL, but I hear you can make 16-18 in NH's. What sucks is my pay hasn't changed in over 5

  19. time for a change?

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

    Ok so I filled out an app today at another LTC facility that is hiring and I know pays better and has better benefits, but I was reluctant to put down my current employers on the employment...

  20. time for a change?

    Medsport posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've been a nurse for just over 6 years. I've worked in a nursing home, corrections and most recently assisted living. I've been at my FT AL job over 5 years and my PT job about 6 months. I like my...

  21. time for a change?

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

    for this job, it sounds like a little less pay, but a much shorter

  22. time for a change?

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

    Well I had the interview and it does help to do some searching for interview questions. But the job isn't exactly what was posted. They say all they have openings for is in the clinic with either...

  24. time for a change?

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

    Guess what? I got an interview at an Urgent care walk-in clinic this week. I thought it sounded good since it was in my town and mostly first shift and you wouldn't have to deal with people dying all...

  25. time for a change?

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

    I also just found out they are going to make us pay for insurance now. It sounds like its more than I can afford so I'll either have to go without any and pay the penalty at tax time or look...
