Hello, anyone here!!!
-
be careful and stay safe!!! sending lots of prayers and warm hugs your way!!! :) ((((((hugs))))))) :)Hey, everyone. I have been searching for jobs in NYC and have numberous interviews. I was wondering if anyone could give me some info on Maimonides Hospital, or SIUH. I plan on coming to NYC towards the end of this month so I can do all of my interviews and apartment/home searching. Any advice in general about relocating would also be appreciated! :) Thanks!said a prayer you her also, may god bless you fran!Oh, and Jason, GET OVER YOURSELF, IT SOUNDS LIKE A PERSONAL ISSUE! Mr. high and mighty nurse guy with every letter in the alphabet behind your name, it's called S-T-A-N-D-A-R-D-S- YOU GET IT! Obviously not maybe you can trade in all that advanced training of yours and get you some. If not I know of a couple of LPNs who could lend you some of theirs!!!Look, I was an LPN fo 5 years and NO they will not be gettin rid of them any time soon. Yes, LPNs deserve just as much respect as an RN, and sometimes they can even teach us (RNs) a thing or two, but that doesn't mean that they are equal. I used to say that the only difference between an LPN and an RN was a couple of college classes and I never understood why LPNs and RNs were paid/treated different. Boy, was I wrong. I put my "money where my mouth was" and went to RN school. ( For one year of nursing plus all the prereqs., because of my LPN I was allowed to skip the first year) There is a HUGE difference between the two, RN's are taught and prepared to handle certain situations that LPN school doesn't prepare you for. The RN has alot more expectations to meet and I would in no way, dare try to do the RN's job while I was an LPN. So if you really want the job, and everything else that comes with that title, go back and get your RN. It really is possible, and you will be happy you did. I know I am! So, to all my beloved LPN's...Yes, us RN's do appreciate you, I would not be able to do my job without you! You are just as important as we are. Don't ever consider yourselves less than that. We need to join up as a team in nursing, or else our profession will suffer. Enough said by me. :)any word yet?Got my results Saturday morning, check out my new signature!! Thanks everyone! And Keep me posted on your results! :balloons: :balloons:i just want to let everyone that has sent prayers and encouraging words that as of saturday morning, i am an rn!!!! thank you guys for all the support!
