I have allowed my nurses license to expire past the date on my card. Am I still allowed to practice. The board allows up to 4 years to pay before I have to start all over again as a new student and retaking the boards. My concern is I haven't worke...

thanks for commenting so quickly. I had tried to call the board but the phone line is a 20 minute wait or more. xoxo happy holidays to you. I need to get started right away. I love nursing!!! don't want to lose my license.

You can only do what you can and nothing more. Don't burnout from life. Congratulations on completing courses and board for LVN. It is a major accomplishment.

In 2011 I as an LVN was earning 17 and hour and was considered low wages. As an RN I am sure you could expect much more than 20. Is this your 1st year or something? Some agencies do that with 1st year nurses. Sorry.

I chose nursing when I was in high school after reading a little blue book that discussed what nurses do. It did not say anything about pay nor the many specialties just the basic stuff so I enjoy still just the basic floor staff nurse stuff. It wa...

about 6 months and yes..

probably what it's like starting any new position. Good luck.

working for an agency I work 1:1 nurse:client ration with opportunities to teach family. Can get boring(boring is good sometime though) but many opportunities to be involved in patient care and observation/monitoring documentation. at the skilled/su...

any psych. cert's for LVN/LPN's? just curious..

I am in California and most LVN's have to take the position of Health Assistant to the RN who usually has a masters degree.

I like to work evening shift (3-11:30 PM) when I work in skilled sub-acute. It's the winding down of the day and administrators are just leaving and when I leave most of the patients have drifted off to sleep. When working in Home Health I like th...

Working as an LVN in sub acute/ltc and a particular lady everytime, I mean 8/10 times I walked into the room during evening shift, she would start to call out in a loud voice, not caring who heard her, "Help me Lord, Help me Jesus, Please Lord, Lord,...

i was recently diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. the term doesn't help get rid of the pain but it is nice to know that there is such a condition for the awful grinding, burning, tearing pain at the base of my heel and the arch of my foot. i worked ...

What would you do if this happened to you? I work in a snf/rehab facility, worked there for little more that 3 months. When I came on shift one of the long term patients was having a problem since the 3-11 shift (I work 11-7). I received report th...

:up:thanx for all your support on this.. The pt. ended up having an ileus and getting a colostomy. If we had kept him at the snf or given Pt.X an high soapsuds enema like the D.O.N. suggested the pt. would have probably died and I could have been in...

Hi. I received my I.V. cert in 2004. So now it is displayed on my license but I am coming up for renewal in April 2009 and wanted to know if I have to recertify every few years( kinda like CPR/1st Aid) or is it just a one time course (like continui...

I have worked in a few SNF's and some advice would be to make sure you understand your role at your facility and make sure your work is done so noone has anything to say about what you aren't doing. Realize that there will probably be someone who is ...

i have been a home health nurse for some months now and i still can't stand changing diapers, especially b.m. i get the "yuck" face though i try not to. also seeing a vent client makes me want to turn tail because i have to be more careful. my eyes g...

This is one of my first posts..let me start by saying that I received my license in 1995 and am proud to be an LVN.. The problem is I work/have worked for a home health agency that mainly focuses on vents and trachs. I told the company that I was no...
