Long term Care

Another option would be to check into LTC, most will do on the job training for CNAs. Though you would still need your GED first. Good luck :)

I am planning on moving to Florida this summer. If I were to make $10/hr less then I do here in Missouri, I'll be working for free Honestly after what I have read here, checking into Florida fees and checking other jobs in Florida I doubt I'll be w...

I got my first pair of birkenstocks a few months ago and love them. I would recommend the support hose too. Also checking with oyur doc to make sure there isn't something else going on wouldn't be a bad idea, especially a change in shoes doesn't help...

I am a LPN in Missouri and am also considering the move to Florida...it seems like there are a lot of nurses here considering that move. Thanks for all the information you have provided thus far. I am not sure exactly were I would be going but most l...

As far as I know schools are not required to have a nurse. I've never seen a law stating that. I know a lot of place are cutting nurses due to budget cuts. W do have one district south of where I live that has 4 or 5 towns in the district with only o...

I am a LPN and a school nurse here in MO. I have worked as a nurse for 6-8th grade for the last 4 years. During the last 2 1/2 years the nurse at our high school has been a LPN. So yes, schools do hire LPNs. I have also been to many meetings of schoo...

I worked H&I for our state's veterans commision, they mandated full time workers there. Being H&I I could not be mandated. Mandation was when someone was mandated to stay after their scheduled shift was completed. Usually due to someone calli...

I volunteer with our local red cross chapter. I know the blood bank workers here always wear gloves when they draw blood.

I'll have to be different then the rest and say yes there should be some sort of dress code. I have seen to many CNA's tell pt. that they will be their nurse for the evening. A clear name tag isn't enough to ID a nurse for a pt. To many people all th...

Just saying Hi I'm a school Nurse in Warrensburg and a part time floor nurse for the MVC. I spend my summers volunteering for the Red Cross and traveling overseas working in clinics in developing nations (Haiti, The Gambia, The Dominican Republic, ...

I do not believe I ever said "Professionalism is a white cap", I said those I work with think I LOOK professional in my cap. I am the only nurse in my building I am treated with respect and as a profession because that is what I am. Those I work with...

Thanks for bring up wonderful memories :) . We had capping half way though school. We all wore our dress school uniform (except for the men of course), we were capped (we had a "still in school cap" then a different one for graduation) by one of our ...

I've been in nursing all my life, worked part time in an army hospital during high school became a CNA and went to LPN school right after high school. I did work part time as a maid in high school that had to be the worst job. I do give riding lesson...

I admit I am one of them. I lurk :imbar until I see something that sparks my interest enough to post

I'm a LPN working under a RN, I do not know what the RN makes but I am on a nurse's pay scale, which is above the para's pay scale. It's still low but not much lower then the hospital across the street and I have better benefits here. Good luck :)

I just had a rep from the American Red Cross blood services in my office to ask about our school being involved in the "Would you be my hero?" progam. Has anyone else done this in your school? Did it go well? What all was involved in startig the pro...

I've worked with an army medic in Missouri. He was able to take the LPN test but was unable to pass . My guess would be that they would allow corpsmen to take the test too. Best of luck in changing careers

I use a prestige medical. It's a double tube inside a single tube, so that the tubes can not rub together. It works great and is cheap too it's one of the $20 stethoscopes. Being the only nurse in my building I don't really have to worry about it wal...

I've worked in place that required scrub colors...i.e. white and green or white and blue. Never received an allowance for uniforms. Where I am working now I can where whatever I want. Generally I choose to wear scrubs for the comfort, easy cleaning a...

I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking for, but if you want to know about the laws of working in another country I would contact that country's health dept. I have worked in several different countries under my US nursing license without an...
