  1. Whadda u think about the college network?

    muffylpn replied to racknroll's topic in Virginia Nursing

  3. LVNs training RNs???

    muffylpn replied to JStollRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lastly the RNs were trained on days by RNs so they were trained by RNs then put on nights. In my part of the country we can train RNs as it is in the union handbook for both sides. So no legal...

  5. Being Sued / Losing License

    muffylpn replied to Meraki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't no where the nurse was from that said RNs make squat. I know that it's different in every state. I don't think that 52.00 hr base pay is squat. That is what the RNs with 20 yrs exp. make at...

  6. Being Sued / Losing License

    muffylpn replied to Meraki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think the funny thing my hospital ever did was start allowing RNs to note and post their own orders. About 5 yrs ago 2 people had to check ea. order-1 needed to be a RN. Once this was allowed...

    muffylpn replied to cookiesandcream22's topic in General Students

    muffylpn replied to an0nymous's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Dream Job Offer - Horrible Pay Offer

    muffylpn replied to DaniLPN2RN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Are you refering to LPNs? Cause in MA. that is the way it is. I work in a hospital and we are paid very gd for LPNs top scale is 28.00 w/o diff. To be fair it is the exact same rate in the nursing...

  14. Dream Job Offer - Horrible Pay Offer

    muffylpn replied to DaniLPN2RN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't no if I agree with that , about skills that is. I guess it would depend on the floor. ICU ur skills have to be on the ball. In MA alot of nursing homes have step-up/rehab units. I have...

    muffylpn replied to DaniLPN2RN's topic in Florida Nursing

    muffylpn replied to MakeMeABird's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm fairly sure JINPDX was talking about me not u? I was not aware one had to be amazing at grammer or spelling to be a nurse. I have no excuse-nor do my decsions about Pts. have anything to do with...

  18. I need a lot of help, failed out of nursing school

    muffylpn replied to MakeMeABird's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  19. Can RNs really make this much?

    muffylpn replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    To the above person who feel nurses should make much more than $50.00 an hour. I agree there are many nursing jobs that deserve this type of pay-and many that don't. To get out of school with a 2 yr...

    muffylpn replied to lina.561's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First ( and this is coming from an LPN) yes in general right now less hospitals overall are not hiring LPNs. That being said hospitals do still hire LPNs-usually with exp. WHY-cause they are cheaper...

  22. Is It Possible An LPN Can Make More Then An RN?

    muffylpn replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Read alot of the posts not all. If this was a hospital setting yes-this is what unions are for-the RNs always make more. It is not. Other things that I'm sure we are not aware of are probably taken...
