  1. LPN Opportunities in NC?

    barefootlady replied to EvinsAngel's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I agree with Vicky RN, most rural facilities have a good supply of LPN's employed, but again, how rural do you want to be? You can do the same here. Not knocking NC in any way, but here in WV, we...

    barefootlady replied to Debbie1972's topic in General Nursing

    New grad starting wage is 17.50 to 18.00/hr without diffs. Diffs are evening, nights, weekends, and call-out pay for special units (OR, dialysis, ICU in some cases). No, per Diem here is covered by...

    Wanted to tell everyone I will not be going to Amish country until October, but since I have family visiting I am cooking today. These are requests from the kids and this is what is on the menu...

  4. LPN Opportunities in NC?

    barefootlady replied to EvinsAngel's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Once you have completed your school, have a little experience, and I do mean a little, like 6 months, then apply for license, and start by picking a place you think you want to live, there seems to be...

    barefootlady replied to nana2003's topic in Home Health

    Do not take this job. It is starting out badly and that will only lead to other

  8. MSNBC/Connected and Arnold's Affair??????

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I was just surprised this reporter would go on national TV, discuss this subject and supposed deal, as if it was the publics right to know vs. a private and personal situation. I do not care for...

  9. Medication Aides

    barefootlady replied to M&MRN2005's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Too scarey to think about. No disrespect, but some UAP's I met in NC could barely write, much less be responsible for medication administrations. I guess application of some topical...

  10. New Med/Surg manager wants your input on staffing matrix

    barefootlady replied to catalyst's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It sounds like you pushed all of the buttons and came up with numbers, now, who takes care of sudden crisis? Team nursing is a wonderful concept, did it for years, love it, but you have to make sure...

  11. license was suspended - documentation errors

    barefootlady replied to lisa bear rn's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with purple, there should be more to this story. The BON usually makes recommendations, sets objectives, and gives person a time line to fullfill

    barefootlady replied to dinkymouse's topic in General Nursing

    Dinkymouse, You wanted to help a coworker, that is commendable, but the DON was looking for an easy fix, one which required no effort on her part. I am glad you had the shifts changed to 3-11....

    Finally I was able to pull up my name on the list of licensed nurses. I know the license will be mailed soon or is actually on the way. I am looking and have looked into an area of two. Responses...

  14. License on the way!!!

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have my temp permit in hand or rather in a special place, and I will be looking into more opportunities towards the end of September. I would really love to get started now, but I have company on...

  15. 4 hours between shifts

    barefootlady replied to dinkymouse's topic in General Nursing

    If this is not an act of God emergency, I think federal law requires an 8 hour period between shifts. This is unsafe, both to you and to your patients. I would not place myself, my patients, or my...

  16. doctor with unprofessional personal life

    barefootlady replied to heart2nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Judge not lest ye be judged. Unless her patients do not get safe, comprehensive care within her scope of practice, you need to butt out of her

  17. who does Exit Interviews ?

    barefootlady replied to mdfog10's topic in Nurse Management

    Exit interviews are good in the ideal world, but never seem to get done in the real world. Most facilities know why staff leaves, if there are other problems, they know about that too. I do not...

  21. Any thoughts on endorsement?

    barefootlady replied to Buttercupkitten3's topic in General Nursing

    Good morning Kathryn; I am a little unclear as to what you mean, are you asking if WV has endorsement? Are you asking how WV does endorsement? You are checking into Virginia for license. WVB has...

  22. Lack of confidence in skills, knowledge, experience... trying to return to nursing..

    barefootlady replied to Buttercupkitten3's topic in General Nursing

    Kathryn, Your honesty is to be commended. I agree with many other posters who have advised you to seek professional counselling prior to returning to nursing full time. I would speak to an attorney...

  23. Amish Country, info please

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I would never presume to stick a camera in someone's face and snap away. Nor do I think it is good manners to snap pictures of their homes, families working in the field, or any other personal...
