Hello to everyone! Does anyone know what types of government positions one might be able to land as an LVN, if any? Thanks!

I was wondering if there were any LVNs that held positions in the newborn department. At the hospital based school I'll be attending (for LVN) I was told I would be able to work in nursery. So my question is what would I be doing and is there any LVN...

This is really not to put any profession down but I've dreamed of being a nurse for soooo long, now only to discover that before entering my LVN program, I have to get the CNA title first! I am horrified of having to do some of the tasks described! T...

]Hello, I'll be attending nursing school this year, and I was curious if LVNs get the respect they deserve or are they looked down upon in the eyes of RNs? Just thought I'd ask...

YES! THAT's ME! I am so glad I am not alone in the world! My situation is soooooooo amusing, if not unbelievable! I myself am not a "math" person having had to start CC with basic math. I thought I was doing so well that I took the next level of math...

Hello All! I will be starting my hospital based CNA course which lasts 2 months before I jump into LVN training (15 months) and it will be costing me a whopping $32,000! I read on other ppls posts that even $15,000 was mind blowing! Could this be so...

...as to be hired in newborn nursery or NICU? I am currently finishing up some PRE-reqs for nursing school and contemplating whether or not to work as LVN for a while before BSN. I think my prospective hospital hires LVNs in nursery and I wanted to k...

so true! if anything i have learned in this forum, especially this forum, is that i will be attacked no matter what!(can you believe this was my very first post, ever?) thanks to people like you who understand my p.o.v. no, i was not bashing lvns. it...

hello everyone! i have an important question regarding lvn school. i should be starting a hospital based nursing school in mid march (if all goes well). only problem is, it's going to set me back about $32,000 !!!!! so i've been doing some research ...

Helo Caliotter3, thanks for info! I definately do not have DISPOSABLE $ but the reason I thought this program was necessary is because it is through a hospital and I figured I would get a better chance of being hired @ the hopital. I've heard stories...

...should have posted in peds forum:roll:roll:roll:roll:roll:roll:roll:roll:roll the question's not so taboo there!

Does anyone know what an LVN in los angeles county earns per hour? Also, if possible, what are the duties of an LVN who works in newborn nursery consist of? Can an LVN feed a newborn, bathe? I appreciate all answers thanx!

whew!:pumpiron: i got tired just reading your response! it is exactly what i imagined if not more! it is the job that most nurses do not want to do (in a sense) and gets the least pay! i'm not trying to sound mean or anything. i admire your courage a...

hi steph, my plans now are still the same. yes i hope that doesn't shock anyone, and even though many of you have written "i sure wouldn't want you to be my nurse...:devil:" (without knowing me....(?) ) but i will definately take the generous advice...

thank god for jelli_belli!:yeah:as he or she hit it right on the nose! i am so glad someone was brave enough to write something "taboo" as it seems after all these responses, and many private ones (that were in favor i might add..)yes it's true i don...

i'm still guessing siemprebella...

it's not condescending it's called honesty! there are other ways of "saving lives" beside changing diapers as you stated! : )

OMG! I have read these posts and I am RE-thinking the prospective school I enrolled in. I have to go through CNA training first 2 months=$3,000 then I enter the LVN program 15 months= A WHOPPING $31,000 yes $31,000! Is this insane? Should I rethink o...

all this is fine and dandy serousanguineous, but the reality is that you don't have to enjoy poop to be a good nurse! it is a rewarding profession but that's why there's a ladder to climb after cna! originally i was asking for consolation and let me ...

I guess some people just don't understand. Poopy is ok, as long as it's not 12 or so pts. all day, 7 days a week, as a career!

i was looking around the other posts in other sections and i came across a post from dorselm that kind of went like this: i dislike... 1. inappreciative pts who can pick up the phone, dial a number and talk but can't spread a packet of mustard on th...
