Medsport LPN

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 good, I like most of my co-workers and the manageme...

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 of the reasons I hadn't gone to a doctor in years u...

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 business is it of anybody what you do on your own ti...

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 I called in the other day to put my 2 week notice...

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 and we are almost always short-staffed and think ...

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 and why I'm thinking of finding a new job.

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 think its too late? There wasn't really a time fr...

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

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 policy, but the previous director said she didn't car...

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 have to jump around on different halls for now an...

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 U.C.

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 I figure if she said she would call and hasn't the...

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 honest with her about most of what happened. Althoug...

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 apparently there is supposed to be no sleeping at a...

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 working 72 hours a pay there and a couple days a mo...

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 a 6k deductible (I think its like 5k through my em...

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 is making us pay for insurance now and I can't af...

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 years.

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 verification sheets. But I think I pretty much didn't have a...

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 main job as its less stressful than nursing homes a...

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

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 doctors of CNA's which doesn't pay as much. I didn't g...

A small hospital.

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 the time. But the interview is supposed to be with...

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 elsewhere.
