that's great to hear

Hey to all those weary of the lvn salary; people are always trying to down lvns and say it takes Rn to bank the bucks, soo not true. My husband got his LVN with 3mths experience in a nursing home went to homehealth. Let me just say some of the RNS that have been with these companies 5 yrs+ don't make as much as he does. It's your repore with the company and the pts. He is great with all his pts, and you have to be flexible and wanna work, but the money is there. We're living proof. Yay! I graduate very soon, and with the 2 of us as nurses we will live comfortably. I just hope that people who are in the nursing profession are not just in it for that, but to also make a difference. One more thing I'm not saying settle LVN we will both continue to go further in the health profession, this was for those who are being discouraged to go LVN.

Thanks, I feel like it's not the grade but your personality and if you generally care for the people you take care of.

Thank you so much, my thoughts exactly. I've got people in my class who compete for whos making the grade, but when you see them at clinicals you say to yourself," I wouldn't want that person as my nurse." Thanks

Everyone in my class debates where they wanna work once graduated, but no one ever talks about working in geriatrics. I enjoy long term care facilities and really feel like I can make a good inpact in someones life. My question is, "Is the money in homehealth or just a rumor?"

I'm a nursing student, and I'm done and graduate shortly; did anyone else strive to make 90's when really ur grade point doesn't make you the nurse you turn out to be on the job?
