I'm on my second week orienting in a nursing home on night shift. My first job out of school. Each day I feel more confident and I am doing more on my own....now I get CNA's snapping at me for asking questions about how pt's transfer, for not answeri...

Hi everyone, I'm a new LPN. Been working in LTC for 6 months but I would rather be working in a clinic (Dr's office). When I went into nursing, that is where I wanted to be but there were no jobs at the time so I had to accept a PT position in a nurs...

Upstate (rural) NY New LPN ( LTC facility $13.75 base extra $1.75 eve shift extra $2.40 night shift extra $.40 weekends extra $1.00 if charge nurse My last job in LTC was simply $12.60 base with $2 Diff. for all but day shift.

First off, I titled this post that way in order to get a response. I've posted before without a single answer. The statement "eat their young" is a common place saying in nursing so I thought it would catch people's eyes. Secondly I wrote this post ...

Background: New LPN grad. Need FT due to husband on lay-off. Want to eventually go for RN with tuition help from employer. Have 2 kids that I need to be able to see. Choices: 1- PT(28hr/wk), with benefits(Insurance) and opportunity to pick up more ho...

This sounds like the jobs I've been offered. I'm going to turn down a better paying job because they said orientation was 3 days; one of which in a classroom. I graduated in August and just received my license last week. There is no way I could do it...

Let me tell you what I did to make it financially through school. I have a husband who works and 2 kids in school. My husdand's check pays for house and his car payment. I am responsible for EVERYTHING else. So I got a part-time job while in school. ...

I'm posting so I can get some prayers, break-a-legs, ya got um girl's. I take my exam tomorrow, been studying for over a month now (waiting for ATT) and now, the more I study, the worse I feel about it. So today is my day off before the BIG TEST.Tryi...

I passed and I have my license # on BON!:cheers::balloons::clphnds::tinkbll::heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:redbeathe:redbeathe:loveya::redpinkhe

i didn't think about the pencil thing, but my own children: katrina and shayla can never find pencils with their names on them:sniff:. my mother-in-law had to order them for christmas one year.

All I can do is LMAO:D

I've tried to register with PV and it just takes me to my activity page and I have to change my password. My quickresults will hopefully be available today. From what my friends say, it only took them 24 hours:yeah:.

You can do it too. On the drive there I tried not to even think about the test. Then just took each question as it came. Good luck to you as well!!!!!!:redbeathe I have a good feeling about my results! Computer shut off at around 85 ?'s (I really was...

Hi everyone, I have a problem and hoping someone can help me. There is a LPN position that I am VERY interested in. I have already interviewed with the HR dept. for this organization so all I would need is an interview with the manager for this parti...

Well I'm not sure about the question you asked, BUT I wanted to warn you that paying by check (as I did also) takes twice as long to process and receive your ATT. I also had a program pay for the registration at Pearson Vue via certified check and sn...

I know most people register online with a credit card but I had a program willing to pay for my boards via check. I had to mail my registration in. It's been a week and 4 days now and Pearsonvue doesn't even have record of receiving it yet:banghead:....

Oh, but I think I would have to have them put a stop payment on the check that was mailed out. This Monday will be 2 weeks since they mailed it, and PV said 3-4 weeks processing; I might as well wait I think. (As much as it is killing me to wait) But...

I have a different view of this. I'm a month out of school, still waiting to my ATT letter to take my boards. I was salutatorian of my class. I've been applying and interviewing along with my classmates. Here's the thing..... I've never been asked @ ...

When I called them yesterday, I asked the guy about going online and doing it with my credit card and refunding the other money and he said they don't give refunds either. I think I'm stuck. Do you know how long your classmate had to wait?

I'm in a 10 month LPN program. Just finished 10 weeks, starting clinicals next week, hubby got laid off, I work on the weekends so NEVER have a day to myself, kids HATE not seeing me, grades are good but only with extreme effort on homework, things i...

I have done my fair share of looking for this answer so I thought I would put the decision I made out here for all to see. 1- Live cheaply This means call all your utility company's so see what can be done to lower your bill. Cut back on TV progr...

I am in this very same boat and this is what I've decided to do..... -I'm not going to get ride of my gas guzzling Jeep that is paid for. I thought about it, but then I said --people think nothing of taking out a 10,000+ loan for a car. I will keep m...

Wondering if anyone works while in school? Or how else are you paying for the bills? I am married with 2 kids. They are in school, but we need around $900 a month X 10 month program to pay for the bills my husband's income can't cover. I don't want t...

Oh SUGAR! I've been planning this since around Christmas 2007 and now I'm told they may be canceling this Fall's class due to construction. Well hopefully they will start a class in spring and I wont have to wait too long. Also it's gives a chance to...

I know when an interviewer shows you around the place, that's a good sign. They wouldn't bother wasting their time if they didn't like you. Good luck!
