    Sensoria17 replied to asr10 user's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry, I just re-read your post and I guess I'm telling you something you don't already

  2. LVN CA, Yellow Transcript/Non Graduate?

    Sensoria17 replied to asr10 user's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This happened to a woman from my class. She simply could not pass the HESI and the school would not send her paperwork to the BVNPT. She fought it and the school did the same thing indicated in your...

    Sensoria17 replied to MsChrissie's topic in California Nursing

    Sensoria17 replied to myperads's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  5. I am also a LVN in Ca and had no luck with any job callbacks

    Sensoria17 replied to Jboo510's topic in California Nursing

    I had to move out of state to find a job (from the East Bay as well, originally). I still keep in contact with a few of my classmates and a year after graduation, only 2 have found full-time jobs....

  7. Leave BA degree off my resume?

    Sensoria17 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Should I leave off my resume that I have a degree in sociology? I sometimes wonder if some people feel threatened by it, particularly if the interviewer doesn't have a 4-year degree herself. I don't...

  8. Any INFP nurses out there?

    Sensoria17 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Like a lot of others on here, my biggest problem with being an INFP nurse is not the fast paced environment but the meanness of co-workers. I have worked with some nasty people but nurses top the...

  9. LVN Salaries in Southern California

    Sensoria17 replied to socal99's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Agreed. I moved out of state but still look at the LVN employment ads in the Bay Area (what few they have) and I am now seeing LTC facilities requiring 2-3 years experience. I spoke to one of my...

  10. Would you take the flu shot?

    Sensoria17 replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No. So far, my workplace is not making it mandatory. I haven't heard anything about whether or not the swine flu vaccine will be

  11. New Grad Jobs in Charlotte

    Sensoria17 replied to eba0305's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    There are other places than Charlotte. I just moved to the Greensboro area from CA as an LPN and quickly found a job. There is a new medical center in Kernersville set to open in spring of

    Sensoria17 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Prior to my recent job find, I was in dire straits financially. I'm looking for an apartment right now and the rental criteria for one place I looked at said they would not rent to anyone with...

  13. Don't know what to do. I just CAN'T. TAKE. THIS. ANYMORE...........

    Sensoria17 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, if your husband is already paying most of your bills, consider moving out of state. I'm an LPN and had to move away from CA to get a job. I was also borrowing money from family to pay rent. My...

  14. Drug test for admission to LVN schools in California?

    Sensoria17 replied to julivee's topic in California Nursing

    My SIL had to take something called a 12-panel drug test for her CNA program. Apparently the test is able to detect if you have used illicit drugs within the last twelve months. I've never used drugs...

  15. Unitek College LVN program... good or Bad??

    Sensoria17 replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I mentioned this in another thread but I'll also mention it here. I had an instructor who's wife was part of the hiring team at Kaiser and he said they strongly prefer that applicants come from a...

  16. In training but not learning anything

    Sensoria17 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm starting my second week now at a SNF and I'm not really being shown anything. I'm orienting with the unit manager who isn't doing any nursing tasks. She is...

  18. In training but not learning anything

    Sensoria17 replied to Sensoria17's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I did ask today when I would be placed on the med cart and she said it should be this week. We'll see. I showed her the check off sheet the DSD gave me and it was as my preceptor had never seen one...

  19. Finally got a job!

    Sensoria17 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I had to move to North Carolina to get one but it finally happened. I start orientation next week. Now the anxiety of job searching has been replaced by new job jitters. Okay, deep

  21. Finally got a job!

    Sensoria17 replied to Sensoria17's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in the Piedmont Triad area but the position (SNF facility) is about 45 minutes away. I don't know if you want LTC at all, but when I was looking, several facilities in Fayetteville were

  22. Mandatory Flu shots

    Sensoria17 replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, keep in mind you can still catch the flu even though you've had the vaccine. I rarely get sick yet the one year I took the flu shot, I got the flu a couple of months later. That was 11 years ago....

  24. I'm so sick of the state of California....

    Sensoria17 replied to Steffers's topic in General Nursing

    You can get an interim permit but my understanding is that by the time they've processed it, you'll have received your permanent license. Very long process for everything

  25. I'm so sick of the state of California....

    Sensoria17 replied to Steffers's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and it looks like because they are being furloughed, they are ****** off and deliberately working slower. I went in May to Sac and paid for my license in person. These people were in no rush to...
