Hey all: So I apply daily and get turned down daily. It is now become my job, "looking and getting turned down". At this point I don't get excited when I go for an interview. There is so much competition out there, its amazing that anyone has the ab...

TESG's HEDIS/QARR Training Program â€" Apply Today! This company is training for $150.00. I want to get trained for free.

Hello: So I'd like to hear about your experiences with either the bully physician or the bully nurse and/or staff members you have come across in your field. In my experience some places and or the management accepts the mean physician more than the ...

HI, well, I guess you all have a handle on the physician, but still, it's not right. You are part of a team and you are working very hard to help his practice, right? It's just a shame where medical help has gone these days. I am really floored on h...

I haven't work in a prison, but I have a RN friend who seems to love the job. One thing is for sure, the inmates are total con artists. I have been around drug addicts in my life and they are true con's. You, yourself, must be strong minded, strong w...

I am having a hard time finding a job that welcome's LPN's. I have tried every single nursing home in the area and every single office/hospital that employs LPN's, but nothing.. So of course I took this job, but I am the only LPN, all the rest are MA...

So someone help me understand. Medical assistant's are being used throughout the State of CT, and are being utilized as much as possible to the point where the physician's can be fined. My understanding a medical assistant can not draw up any inject...

HI Where can I find this information. I am trying to find the STATE OF CT website for the LPN's scope of practice. Can someone assist me? Thank you

:welcome: hello: i start school in sept for lpn and need to buy a stethoscope before school. can someone tell me what is a good one to buy and how much money i should spend? i see a variety on littmann. there are a variety of colors as well. are the...

hi. this might be a dumb question: why would you go from lpn to bsn? why not go from lpn to rn to bsn. i'm real new, so please be easy on me. really don't know the answer.

That is terrible! So sorry. I actually quit a job where I had to take care of 40 patients. It's NOT SAFE! and I will not be part of it. I now work in a Dr's office for a great group!... Keep looking for the perfect job for you! Good luck!

Well, I am frustrated when I hear there is a nursing shortage. I have been looking for a job in my county since I graduated in June 2008. I do have a job... but it is in another county. I have to drive 48 minutes, no rain, no traffic, no ice, no stor...

HI.. I now live up in Dutchess county. I used to live in Queens. Matter of fact, I was just there, my father lives there. I heard about the hospital closing, such a shame. I am going to move forward and get the RN. It will take me a little while as I...

http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009901310310 I'd like for Evening nurses to comment on the resident load they have to care for. I am a new nurse and am finding it difficult to maintain the amount of work, paper work, etc and...

A computer system and a hand held one for the nurse with the med cart. with an added motion sensor for all the residents. The Care plan book would be wonderful and all the other paper happy things we have in our place. They are too paper happy

I am a new nurse and just found out if you call out due to the weather, they will not pay you. The facility will have the maintenance man come pick you up if you live locally. But if you work the night shift and he picked you up, you will have to fin...

Thank you so much! I will make sure I take my breaks tonight and tomorrow night. I am sure there is a spot for me somewhere. I know I am too caring sometimes and there isn't enough time to spend with each resident. Thanks again Have a great week

Hi thanks guys: But as I am learning, the only way to do this job is CUT CORNERS. There is NO possible way I can do all that is expected of me in only 8 hours. NO WAY and if so, I need someone to show me how to do all those things. It is somewhat ove...

Yeah.. isn't it the worst field you have ever entered? I am shocked at all the nonsense going on in all facilities. I blame the facility for allowing this nonsense to take place. Sorry for your trouble. I have some great CNA's on my time and I love ...

HI: Sorry for your troubles. Let me just say one thing, and I'm sure some of you won't agree, but its true. There are some facilities or on some floors that "PUT UP" with certain CNA'S behavior's because they are good aides and/or have been working t...

hi can anyone tell me what is the safe ratio of lpn to resident? is every state different or is it the same state wide. i can not see how one can safely take care of and pass meds and do b/p and a/p and all the other stuff, feed, meal sheet, call...

OMG me too> I am a new LPN too and all the stuff you are saying is the same darn thing I hear... Its all a bunch of bull! There aren't enough hours in your shift to do it by the book. NO WAY!!!! Impossible and I will be on my own on Monday. I'm sc...

hi: the one thing and the only thing that gets me is: setting the lpn up to fail. there is no way on this entire earth that a lpn can care for 40 patients in 8 hours. one by passing meds, two by treatments and three all the paper work that is invo...
