About LLLovely

LLLovely has 15 years experience as a BSN, RN and specializes in C-EFM, L&D/Postpartum/AP/PACU.


Nursing is a second career for me. The ultimate goal is to become an advanced practice nurse. I let my CLC expire and still haven't gotten around to getting my IBCLC, but I'm also your friendly neighborhood lactation guru.

    Am I fired? CNA Checking Blood Sugar

    Generally, an employee is held liable for the highest licensure that they have regardless of what position they are working. For example, some registered nurses take positions that are coded for LPNs...

    Job market FL vs. CO

    I agree that DNP is not necessarily worth more money, but that part of it doesn't add much time. I am interested in the DNP because eventually it will be the standard, and because I would like the...
