Hi, I'm originally from New Jersey. I moved out here in August 2007. I'm still getting used to the area. Coming from a small town, I can't believe how big Texas really is. I live in the Southwest part of Fort Worth. I'm currently not working because I just had my fourth child. Any suggestions on good places to work in this area? I have experience in long term care and corrections.
I worked in a medium security unit in New Jersey. We would receive the syringes at the mailroom. There we would count the syringes and wrap them in bundles of ten. For example, a box of 1oo insulin, wrap them in 10s, seal the box back and write 100 on box. This makes the counting of the sharps much easier.
I've been an LPN for 10 years now. I'm experienced in LTC, Corrections, and Home Health. I moved from New Jersey to Texas a few months ago. I'm not working right now - enjoying my newborn. It is so many nursing opportunties in this state, I'll probably work agency to test the waters. I enjoy being an LPN and being hands on.
I've been an LPN since 1998, working mainly in LTC. I have worked part-time in home health and corrections. Moved a couple of months ago from New Jersey to Texas. Not working now, enjoying my new son. It is so many nursing opportunties out here. I thing once I start working again, I'll do agency first. I have thought about going on further to be an RN. But I really love being an LPN and being hands on.
