  1. LTC Issues and unemployment

  5. LPN to RN how much time to do it??

    iwanna replied to Butterflybee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is something that really varies with each school. I looked into it a while ago and found out that I would have to repeat all of my science courses because it has been more than 10 years. I...

  11. Why hire an LPN rather than an MA for a doctor's office?

    iwanna replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

    I live in a small town in Northwestern PA, and our cost of living is relatively cheap compared to other areas, especially our real estate. I live about 73 miles from Pittsburgh where the pay for...

  12. Failed Drug Test!!!!!!

    iwanna replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    iwanna replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    iwanna replied to sissiesmama's topic in Nurses Recovery

  16. Medication Error and Overtime

    iwanna replied to lookingbeyond's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    lookingbeyond, I agree with pagnadeva. The DON was there to help you, not against you. Working OT and in those circumstances could cause anyone to make a med error. And, I believe that just about...

  17. NH or Jail?

    iwanna replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry, I am not in position to give advice, but I do have a few questions. Did you say that you were busier at the jail? I would think that the NH would be quite busy. I applied for a position at a...

  18. Looking to find refresher RN course

    iwanna replied to Irish245's topic in Retired Nurses

    Yes, please check out CCAC. I just called to register today, and they told me they only have five students so far. It is just so strange that I saw your post. I was just thinking about advertising...

  22. Failed Drug Test!!!!!!

    iwanna replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why you couldn't just go to local place where you were tested. Why couldn't they give the other place a call to confirm that yu did bring proof in. That was totally ridiculous!!...

    iwanna replied to ocb_dave_ocb's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like they don't want to lose you. Too bad that you could not do the job during midnight hours. It is nice that you and your wife both work the same shift. I used to work afts., and...

    iwanna replied to L&DRN03's topic in Ob/Gyn
