  1. Rehab RN working for a supervisor LPN

    workinmomRN2012 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I was hired by a LTC/Rehab about 7 months ago and I knew that the supervisor on one of my evenings was an LPN that got her license at the same time as I did. I didn't have a problem with this...

  2. Rehab RN working for a supervisor LPN

    workinmomRN2012 replied to workinmomRN2012's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    workinmomRN2012 replied to workinmomRN2012's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    workinmomRN2012 replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You should ask if you get paid after your shifts ends- to do notes or if notes need to be done sometime during your shift? Do they have a wound nurse, if not you will be doing all the dressing...

    workinmomRN2012 replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    GrnTea-I really don't think that some of the seasoned nurses correct new nurses because "they care about them". Have you ever heard of people putting other people down to lift themselves up? It's...
