  6. LPN working as CNA

    ChanceORiley27 replied to LPN01112005's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    ChanceORiley27 replied to LPN01112005's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    ChanceORiley27 replied to hollyjolly's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    ChanceORiley27 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    ChanceORiley27 replied to nurseluv9's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Umm... you guys are seriously scaring me. I don't know what area of nursing you work in, but if you want money - you can get it. You'll have to work at a nursing home, but I've been in LTC for a...

  14. LPN phasing out to be QMA's only

    ChanceORiley27 replied to BabyGirl00's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I graduated from Ivy Tech Lafayette, and have been an LPN for a year and a half. Myself, and most of my LPN co-workers, are going back for their RN's. However, my instructors at Ivy Tech were LPN...
