Lexington Professional Associates are looking for an LPN. Try career builders.com as it lets you specify general locale you are seeking employment in as LPN. Good Luck. Also, try the agency nurses or home health, you may find something there!

I skip breaks and lunch alot, also. But that is by choice, sometimes. Other times it is too busy and there is no one to relieve me, and I am paid for "no lunch". If I was ever disciplined for not interrupting my lunch break for some useless matter.....

what a touching story...for all of us who have lost their dads...you never quite get over it. my sympathies to you, thanks for a great share.

well, there is a shortage....but it depends on where you are!! have you gone to the hospitals websites to see what they have available? have you decided if relocation is a possibility? have you decided how far you are willing to drive to work? som...

hi ledwards63! hope your 120 hours is going well. are you planning to stay at emrmc? i also went to eku for my undergrad degree. let me know if i can help you out in any way, hang in there...graduation gets here eventually!!!

Any nurses out there working in clinical setting that have had a cochlear implant? I have Nucleus 23 but am having a hard time getting my stethoscope to work with it. Anyone have a stet that works good with this?

By the way, as far as expense goes, when I took into consideration:tuition/fees/books/wear&tear on car/having to juggle work schedule&class schedule/having to actually attend a class (rather than working in jammies)/time spent away from famil...

I earned my MSN in 2000 from UOP. I highly recommend going this route for education or management. They've changed alot since I was in the program, for the better I think. One other nurse from my hospital just finished the program, she said they h...

hi, i am an oldie but goodie, been rn for 26 years, in central ky, small rural hospital, have msn, work middle management in er/medsurg. love nursing. :welcome:

Well controlled seizures and asthma should not be a reason for denial to nursing school. If they do deny you admission for that, I would seek legal advice, but I don't think they will. It is probably more for them to know what accommodations they m...

i just really think it all boils down to: "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." the first thing i told my students was that there are no stupid questions. i really believe that the educational preparation needs tremendous amounts more...

i've been asked many times where i am from, and when i tell them they all say "i thought you were swedish or something with that accent". (i am from both ohio and ky) no, i am just hearing impaired i tell them, that's where the accent comes from!! i...

hi, ditto on the advice about emrmc in danville. you can also check out their affiliate hospital 10 minutes from them in stanford, ky. it is a small rural hospital. med/surg, ob, or, er are the areas available to work. school systems in both are pret...

i have also seen this, and agree it is a mistake waiting to happen. why not just not write the order until they have checked with the other doc? in my experience, these orders were written most often pending morning rounds of the surgeon. i don't ...

hi, i think it's a wonderful idea---and ladies auxillary or volunteers should be the ones available to do it. we are usually just too bogged down with meds, txs, charting, calling doctors, etc. etc. to do this. it would be nice if we had the time t...

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: thanks! i needed that!!

In this area, clinical gets the nod. I work the floor now, but I got a grand total of about a dollar an hour raise for my administrative/education MSN. Did mine online, clinicals at a local clinic. Couldn't do NP this route, so can't offer any ins...

rnkitty04 wasn't really needed on that shift. yeah, right:uhoh3: excuse me? what were the 10 other people doing? i hope you at least got some help doing this, or at least if they were swamped, they offered!

:angryfire now that's a good solution, just get rid of all of them.:angryfire as a mother of a male cna, and a master's prepared rn with 23 years experience in everything from babies to geriatrics, i find that attitude offensive. by the same t...

what about nursery? i know there'd be some lifting, but hopefully (for the new mom:chuckle ) nothing over 9 to 10 lbs. talk with your employer. do you have adequate help with turns, lifts, etc? do you have access to equipment that will help take ...

shamrock--i tried that out too and killed my person over, and over, and over. guess i'll just have to wait until next week to finish up the bypass after i practice a few more times. :chuckle

yes, i am perfect. my 18 month old granddaughter says so!! so there!! it must be true!! haaahaaa (rotfl) :rotfl: boy, don't i wish. never for one moment think you are getting anywhere near it---something or someone is always there to humble you.

i too went to uop -- msn in 2001. the tuition is steeper, but once you figure in mileage, wear and tear on vehicle, time spent away from family, not having to be at "scheduled" class--i think it was well worth it. i especially liked the autonomy it...

congratulations on a job well done. like they said......now, the fun begins!!!!:balloons: :balloons:

:) well, of course, mine is my first name and bsn was the degree i had when i joined. now i have my msn and want to change it. how do i do that? i emailed a request but haven't heard yet. hope i emailed to right person. i love those imaginative ...
