Uh, I realise tha you are only 22, ahhh, so very young! Are you kidding? STAY in HI., if you need privacy go to another Island. Do you know how many people would kill for your job, even if the econ. was swinging and every nurse had his/her choice of ...

As far as i can find GCC is not either (LPN).

I have read on several different posts, that someone would rather work at WalMart. Let me tell any and all, who even entertian this thought for real or for the sake of being sarcastic. Walmart is the beast. Walmart has a turnover rate of 79% Why, bec...

Ask, who is the Command Master Chief and call him/her. If he/she will not give you his/her name, then find out who the highest ranking person is in the office and talk to him/her. You can also go on the web @ www.navynursecorps.gov and get a phone n...

If a man ask for your shirt, give him your coat as well.....

Why do RN's sell themselves so short? One needs a professional hand, Bull Malarky !!! If a Doctor can be trained to suture a lip, hip, or hand so can an RN. My Father used to say " I can't, never could." It is the skill they don't want RN's to have s...

So what's the problem. One can buy a suture kit on the internet, and then watch how to do it on Youtube. Simple sutures are not that complex. If the doc assesed the pt and then gave the go ahead for the tech/RN to suture, well there you go. I beleive...

opps, stated above, meaning stated by others post to the thread posted. The post directly above mine is well, the correct perspective. ugh.

Something to add to this post. Not all Prisons or Dentention centers are like what is stated above. Some of these things may go on in the facilities that these people have worked at and experienced. Not ALL are like what is described. All depends on ...

I keep reading alot of this non-sense on other threads. I believe that it is all propaganda. ICU, ER, Trauma, etc. areas of nursing are, or so it seems so burned out and synical by/about the system in which they work. That they will put down another ...

pagandadeva2000, All Nurses. Ever here the phrase "A nurse, is a nurse, is a nurse." There are over a million nurses that practice right now? My number could be skewed but, at any rate. I believe it is so vitally important to this profession to have...

Commuter, your make a great point, let me throw you some food for thought. Supply and Demand does wonders for an industry subset. Look at the Software industry. Employment rise for lpns? sure, why not. But, will there be an opportunity cost associate...

Did someone get their feelings hurt here?

Yes, Hosp Corpman, will probably in some form or fashion, at one point in their tours/careers handle a number of clinical practices that CNAs, Med Tech, RNs/LPNs, and PAs all perform on a daily basis. I feel writing your state legislature or Gov. Wil...

Oops, don't get the wrong idean here, if the BSN has not gained the ADN first. Who would have more clinical time BSN vs LPN?

Everyone must do what they gotta do. I do remember in my former life and naval career, that the newbie Ensigns officers (w/ college degrees) did not impress any of us sailors (Enlisted), who had months or years out to sea under our belts. Kinda goes ...

To: Matties Moma, thankyou for pointing out All that applies to LPN in the afore stated Labor Law statutes. I agree. But, look at the revision date. 1988. This was probably Profit and Politically Motivated ( isn't everything). Just about that time + ...

After reading some of these posts, it occurred to me that most of the people out there, whether you are doing an LPN or RN, LPN-RN, RN-BSN, BSN-MSN, MSN-NP, LPN/BBA-MSN, are looking to climb the coporate latter, in one way or another. Who will be lef...

folks, i don't see getting rid of LPN's, here is why. If, the U.S. can go to UHC in maybe 10- 15 years (with the way our politicians/political system works eveyone's gotta get their palms greased). Then the need for any experienced health care worker...

G-Town are you from Gastionia, NC? Because, that is what a lot of native Gastonians call it.

This is the South, Keep Dreaming. LOL the Nurses in general in the South need to, excuse the southern phrase, " Learn themselves," about the way the Californians Unionised.

Sorry, don't know about chapel hill or triangle area.

Maybe, someone can explain the skewed Salary info. from the major salary web sites. One of the posters advised new grad RN's starting out @ 19 and some change and then roughly 6 bucks more for nights and weekends. Salary.com advises 50K for a staff n...

Do not move to the University area, the best place to live in and around Charlotte is South Charlotte. The North, East, and West of Charlotte have become high crime areas (especially the Univ. Area !!!), in the last 10 years. If you want to work at U...

Medsport, if you don't mind me asking what is average starting pay for LPN's in Ohio LTC and Jail? Just curious, sort of in the same boat
