  1. New CA grad LVN ....after apply over 120 resume...sad and want to give up!

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

    Maybe things will get better once fall rolls around. Some managers I've spoken to and some of my former classmates that are working as CNAs have been saying that the census seems to be unusually low...

  2. Licensed in more than one state?

    Sensoria17 replied to garnetgirl29's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm actually having my license endorsed to NC. It's basically all done online. Go to the SC Board of Nursing and go to the endorsement section. Basically, you'll just have to pay a fee to them and...

    Sensoria17 replied to mlok's topic in California Nursing

    mlok, That's terrible. I'll never understand why some people can just turn on you in an

  4. are NEW GRAD LPN's finding it easy to get a job

    Sensoria17 replied to pat8585's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Haven't found anything here either. I've been looking since I received my license the last week of May. One woman in my class got a job at her facility where she worked as a CNA. The job market in my...

    Sensoria17 replied to NurseDevonL's topic in General Nursing

    Can you elaborate? Why would they be terminated for credit issues after they were

  6. Do undocumented aliens end up getting after receiving emergency care?

    Sensoria17 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    Point taken. However, you may want to make use of smilies a little more judiciously. It can change the whole meaning of a

  7. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    Sensoria17 replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not to change the OP's thread but by extension, shouldn't housing and food be a right and not a privilege? I mean, more than a few times now, I've gone to the grocery store and have seen someone...

  8. I just want a job

    Sensoria17 replied to mlok's topic in California Nursing

    If you are really desperate for a job, you can sign on with an eldercare agency. I did that because I'm not finding anything either. They can't guarantee you hours but it's better than nothing. Just...

  9. Do undocumented aliens end up getting after receiving emergency care?

    Sensoria17 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I realized this after I hit enter and I thought about editing it but then thought no one would really care about something that is relatively

  10. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Sensoria17 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are reading something that isn't there. I'm sorry if I'm not making myself clear. All I'm trying to find out is, have they factored in the number of nurses coming over because of family? I...

  11. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    Sensoria17 replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read this whole thread and I haven't even gotten a job yet but I will say I would work for $40,000. Based on what everyone has said here, nursing is very stressful. Having had both...

  12. Is/Was anyone here a student in UNITEK/WCC/SJVC's LVN to RN program?

    Sensoria17 replied to NICUrn2B's topic in LPN to RN

    I should add that he said they particularly liked Chabot College grads. Apparently they have a reputation for turning out very good bedside

  13. Do undocumented aliens end up getting after receiving emergency care?

    Sensoria17 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    That was me:D. But seriously, people need to lighten and quit being so PC when someone states something factual. What is so offensive about stating that an illegal Chinese person has TB if the Chinese...

  14. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Sensoria17 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I realize this but have they factored in what percentage of those emigrating because of family sponosrs are nurses? Anyway, the point is that we do not need foreign nurses right at this

  15. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Sensoria17 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I question why they need to grant work visas at all. I read recently that 80% of Filipino immigrants that arrive on a yearly basis are able to come here because they have a sponsor (family, friends)....

  16. Is/Was anyone here a student in UNITEK/WCC/SJVC's LVN to RN program?

    Sensoria17 replied to NICUrn2B's topic in LPN to RN

    My instructor for my IV class strongly recommended not going this route. His wife used to be part of the hiring panel at Kaiser and she said they do look at the school you attend, especially now in a...

  17. Is anyone else feeling the effect of this economy in your job?

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

    Sasha2lady- Where are you located? I can't even find a PRN position where I'm

  18. Did you always want to be a nurse?

    Sensoria17 replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    In elementary school, I wanted to be a veterinarian. In high school and the first few years of college, I majored in accounting. Then I switched to sociology with the intent of going into social work....

  19. Do undocumented aliens end up getting after receiving emergency care?

    Sensoria17 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    actually, they do bring diseases though it isn't the south americans but more the asians. my sister works in the ed in san francisco and she says a lot of the chinese illegals have

  20. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Sensoria17 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are the hours strange? I had an informal interview with an administrator who said the hours would be 10:30 to 6:30pm and the hours would not exceed twenty per week and it sounded like they couldn't...

  21. Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    Sensoria17 replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    What do you ask when an interviewer has already answered every question you would have asked? I've only had one official interview at a nursing home (at another, they weren't actually hiring but the...

  22. Seek help for LVN schools

    Sensoria17 replied to eosme's topic in California Nursing

    San Jose to Fremont should only be about a 20 minute drive. There's NCP Vocational in South San Francisco and Hayward. I almost went there and did my IV class there. I've always found them to be...

  23. NEW LVN job hunt PAINS

    Sensoria17 replied to Syobe77's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I take it you are in Southern CA? I don't know what the pay is down there but I had an informal interview with a DON. She actually had just filled an open position but she said they start new grads at...

  24. negative/toxic work environment...is this normal for nursing??

    Sensoria17 replied to jamkpb's topic in General Nursing

    I think it may just have to do with working in a female-dominated setting. I've always worked in an office with strictly females and I've experienced the same

  25. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Sensoria17 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Unless you have an increase in people receiving elective surgeries (which I'm sure the government won't cover) we will not have an increased need for
