I have a question, so... After I read some posts on here, online and from experiences... When a state surveyor finds deficiency, the facility gets deficiency not the nurse... for example, let's say nurse charted not enough or too much or let's say nurse made a mistake during med pass...etc... how come the facility gets deficiency but not the nurse? Can the nurse lose license from state survey? how does that work? Thank you... -new nurse-

Thank you! :) I got the job. I am so nervous!!

I think it went okay The manager and a charge nurse were interviewing me but the manager had to leave since she had a meeting after 20-30 mins. Is it a bad sign? I think I am usually really good at interviews but this time I don't have that good feelings. They did not tell me when they would contact me or anything like that- I am planning on following up on Friday, maybe thank you email :) ah.... I pray that I could get this job....

I got a new job in a skilled nursing setting and left ALF facility :)

So... I am the OP writer :) It has been almost a year (last May I got hired, took RN board in Aug, passed in one shot ) My director decided to stay a little longer and still is staying with me and mentoring me. It has been almost a year of training.. many things happened (missing resident, unexpected death, family issues, staffing issue, state visit, communicable disease report, sexual harrasement.. etc) WOW yes it has been GREAT! Good thing is , everyone loves me.. at least I think.. haha They gave me a choice of staying as an assistant or becoming a director.. After almost of a year of experience in management (as a new grad), I am still debating and decided to read this post again! I think I will stay as an assistant, and go back to school- I have BA in something else, associcate in nursing.. now bachelors :) Wish me luck and I always respect your opinion... !

I sent private email 'ilove' :)

I got the good pop up!!!

Congratulations! I am so happy for you! I am waiting my result... I had 247 questions... ugh!

Ugh... I had 247 questions! It was killing me... I was at the point "I don't care.. just let me finish!!!" and I was just very disappointed how I did not have '75 questions' .. I was thinking I did really bad to get that many questions! I wasn't able to do PVT... what the heck?!

I hope I bring the good news! I know I am not ready but I have to believe in myself, right? I just cannot wait for tonight! Time to celebrate-

Wish you the best luck :)

Thank you!! gosh, I wasn't even thinking about PPE... kudos!

Yay :)

Thank you! :)

I am taking my 1st boards this Thursday. At the end... people don't care how many times you took the test.. once you pass, you pass... I know 3 people who took NCLEX more than once (2 of them took 3 times) and they are excellent nurses... I wish you the best luck... Don't be too nervous... but I know how you feel.... hugs! you are the good nurse and that's why people think you will def pass :)

Congratulations! So exciting! :)

No I have never worked as a nurse!!!! Only 840 hours of clinical hours from my nursing school!

thank you so so so much!!!!! :redbeathe:nurse:

I have my LPN. That is my pay scale at this moment until I finish 4 months training. I will take my board in a few months so yes if I fail my board HECK! LOL ok it is not funny. They already told me after 4 months of training if I don't like it, I have a choice to step out - wish me luck! And again. Thank you ya'all

I really appreciate all the comments!! *Respect* to all the senior nurses :) If it doesn't work with me, it will be my great learning experience. Even the director told me "If you think it is not right for you, either way, you are going to have the experience of a lifetime" :)

I understand LPN/CNA don't do nursing assessments or even nursing diagnosis! (Woolala I graduated RN program also) but yeah, suprise for me too. Well, the facility explains that the state doesn't even require ALF to have a nurse in the building. Basically if someone needs skilled nursing care, they won't be living in an assisted living. I did read state regulations for assisted living- At this moment, all I can do is learning and studying-

Thank you everyone! After I had my first interview, I talked to my fellow nursing graduates that I probably wouldn't even be qualified for this job. Well, now here I am :) I am just thankful to have this job. I am a geriatric nurse to the bone!! It is a beautiful assisted living and everyone is passionate (so far). Hopefully after 4 months of training, I will post something positive on here- I will remember to learn how to save my butt also!!!!

Sorry 4 months

Here is the thing, I think the director at this moment is soo ready to retire. Basically all the nursing jobs will be done by an lpn or CNAs with Qmap. Pretty much no nursing skills other than assessment and TB shots. Lots of meeting with different departments , managing the nursing budget and staff, traveling to make assessments for future clients and.... dealing with residents family concerns.....
