lulu67 LPN, LVN

I completely understand you and I get it too- it’s like “What does the N stand for anyway?” Have you ever looked at the shift over the last century of what the RN’s role has been and how it’s changed? It’s crazy. Even for the LVN and CNA’s - many old...

My questions are concerning two subjects.. 1)Where I can find a mental health job and 2)How much money to expect per hour as an LVN with 4 years exp. I'm in the process of trxing my license to California and wondered when this is all said and done- ...

Hello, I am transferring my LPN/LVN license from Idaho to CA and wondered if anyone else has done this recently? I just want to know if it is really going to take 12 or more weeks before I can start working and they give me a thumbs up. I sent everyt...

Hi, does anyone know what the average LPN/LVN wages might be in Southern California?? Long beach, Anaheim, Santa Anna, Garden Grove or Westminster areas. Also, does anyone know if I will have to take a test to be registered in California? I am IV cer...

I'm so sorry to hear this... Although I have not been directly involved, I have worked on units that have had suicidal incidents and I have also heard about our patients being discharged and then committing suicide shortly afterword. And I have work...

Sensoria17, Hello again, No, I have been living out of state. I have been filling out a lot of apps online and this past week they have been calling me back to set up face to face interviews and some do the first interview over the phone :) Anyway, I...

Never mind..I figured it all out... I have so many interviews coming up..I'm so excited!

Hi Sensoria17, Here is another little update...I have been contacted by a staffing agency that has offered me a short term contract so that i can work at the VA in Long Beach, Cal. They said it can easily turn into a longer term and very possibly a p...

Hey all...I have a State prison/ Dept. of mental health job question.. I have been checking out some options in the SoCal corrections field or DMH as an LVN. Even if they are doing furloughs it's still a job and I already have experience in that fiel...

StudyStudy, Thank you for your response, i really appreciate it :) No, I've not read the corrections forum just yet, I'll have to do that. Maybe if the MTA thing has been discontinued then they probably replaced it with the (safety) classification......

Well I figured out how to see my rank...it actually wasn't hard, I just had to be more awake. Anyway, so I am at 3 and so are 2 thousand others...not much chance of getting hired I imagine. Oh well! I don't understand why they hire people anyway when...

Hi petitenurse, I was wondering if you could tell me a bit more? I am so confused -and maybe it is because I've been up working late...anyway, if you could help I would be very grateful.. I am attempting to apply for a job as an LVN with the state as...

Okay well...Here is another update... As of June 8th I am officially allowed to work in California as an LPN/LVN:nurse: Yeah! My name is clear and on the website! I've been checking it daily~ I'm so happy this only took about 5wks to completely get t...

Hi! I'm in the process of doing that now...and it can take awhile...sometimes longer for others, depending on what happens I guess during your application process. Have you visited the board of nursing website yet? http://www.bvnpt.ca.gov/ You can ha...

I will keep you posted! I hope I find work fairly easily as well...I miss it there so much!

Update: Woohoo! I just got my acceptance letter in the mail yesterday afternoon for the BVNPT! Now I just have to send in my $150.00 with the signature paper and cross my fingers that it doesn't really take 6 more wks to get my actual license. Then s...

Hi again, I found this through "simply hired". They are taking new grads..It is only a day old and it is not in OC but in Glendale... http://seeker.allhealthcarejobs.com/jobsearch/servlet/JobSearch?op=101&dockey=xml/7/7/77f537aa08d341be6d795b4729...

Hi, I've been checkin' out stuff on craigslist and the OC register and everywhere I can...I'm not sure if this will work out or not but maybe you can try this link...It's a company that is taking new grads in Signal Hill..They are sending people out...

Hello, I'm an LVN not an RN ..but I thought of replying to your thread....I couldn't agree more! Here in Idaho, however, we do their laundry or dishes because it is an item that belongs to the pt. and needs tending to(per my manager). I have complai...

Hi BLOWINGBUBBLES- Wow! Thank you for that update. I have decided against it too. I'm just going to do the extra few classes..I don't want to waist all I've done in the past and not end up with a nursing degree. I ended up looking at all the CC's w...

Oh well, bummer! I got a little excited..shouldn't do that. I will just go with my original plan then... Thanks!

Hello, I was just wondering if you could update me on your career decision? I am looking to do the 30 unit option possibly as well. I do not plan on moving out of Cal. again, so it seems like a viable plan for me. I had never heard of this option be...

Hi Mandykal, Thank you so much for your input.. Holy Cow! You're talkin' 6 months for it to clear? OMG~ How frustrating! I hope I don't have that experience or I will go nuts:eek:. I wish you luck, you really could use some. I've seen a lot of jobs a...

Well, thank you so much for your comments everyone. I am just going to try to be patient and hope for the best! What will be will be... Once again, thank you.
