Are these all Medicare/Medicaid visits? If so I am really getting screwed. I am only getting $17/visit but I'm also working for a non-skilled home care agency. Didn't know that when I was hired among other thing. I was just excited to get a job a...

What shift would this be on? I have had that many on 3rd shift without a med tech.

Are you only tired when you sit down to study or are you tired all the time? Have you had your Vit D level checked? I was always tired before I had mine tested and found that I was deficient. Since I started taking Vit D and my levels are back whe...

This might sound like a stupid question but what kind of nursing is the kind of nursing I doing considered on here? I do home visits and set up medications and do nursing assessments. Some people only need nursing assessments done and some visits I...

I have been without a job since April and was terminated from that job (that is a long story) and I have been getting unemployment benefits. Nursing jobs around here are hard to find and there are a lot of unemployed nurses and medical assistants lo...

Thanks for everyones replies so far but this is what has happened so far. I was told the $17/hour in the interview so I didn't question it when she called me and offered me the job and I was starting the next day with orientation. Then when I got t...

Thanks, I have been doing what you have suggested when I interviewed. I am proud to say that I got a job today . I got a call from a place that I applied for back in March and interviewed but didn't get the position. They called today because they...

I also feel burnt out after only 4 years. I am taking time off right now trying to figure out what to do from here. I have mainly worked in LTC since the hospitals in my area have moved away from hiring LPN. About a year ago the hospital laid off ...

Depends on where you live. I am a LPN and I can't find a job now. The hospitals around here don't hire LPN's and within the last year let go all of their LPN's.

Cindy, I think you are responding to me but my name is not Sam it is Lisa. Thank you for the encouragement and I will look into getting that book. I have been reading about it and have a couple books. I am a fighter and don't intend to give up but...

I am a LPN that was diagnosed in Feb of this year with ADD. This year has been extremely rough for me because I was terminated from my job in April because of my ADD. Of course they tired to cover it up to make it look like it wasn't that but I fla...

Just needed to vent a little. What a rough day today, I was terminated today because of may ADD. I made this clear with the DON when she was terminating me if it was based on my work performance and she said Yes. I have just recently been diagnose...

Actally the disorganization and time management was NOT affecting patient care. I was putting my residents first making sure they were safe and answering alarms. I was staying over doing the charting that I was not able to get to during the shift b...

I'm not a floor nurse I work in a nursing home which is a whole different environment. They do not hire LPN in the hospitals in my area.

Sorry, this is not a new onset just increased. I have had my TSH and hormonal among many other things tested recently so this is not what it is. I have had this problem for years mentioned bits and parts of the ADD symptoms I have had especially th...

How can I have this thread move to the Nurses with Disabilities Forum? If I was thinking right at the time I would have started the thread there.

What????

No I don't want my job back now. Nothing would change. I just want them to realize they can't do whatever they want when it comes to this. Yes I plan on finding a better fitting job but jobs are hard to come by in this area right now and I am limi...

I am not going down without a fight because I didn't do anything wrong and I have been working with my doctor on my ADD a few months prior to my review. I don't think they should get away with terminating me for my performance which is the result of...

Thank you, that is good to know and less work for me to have to do.

We have an attorney service through my husbands employer that we pay a couple dollars a month for to handle things like this. We knew it would come in handle some day for only paying a couple of dollars a month for.

I advised by a friends lawyer that lives in another town couple hours away to file a complaint with the department of Civil Rights. Is that either of these? Sorry to sound stupid I have never dealt with something like this before. I need to talk to t...

I was managing to function fine until this job which was my first 2nd shift job and prior to this I worked 3rd shift. My first 7 to 8 months was fine like I mentioned before and something happened and I don't know what and was constantly getting cal...
