I am a new LPN (graduated in Aug. '04). I am working the baylor plan at a LTC facility. However, I was the very first person ever hired there for the baylor shifts. I would like to know the...
I would run out of there so fast it would make their head spin! I do NOT see how they keep any nurse at those numbers. You are not sinking.....you have been anchored down. They have sat you up for...

If you were not a CNA prior to becoming a nurse believe me this is a different world than anything else you might have ever done. I had never worked in health care prior to becoming a nurse and it...
Thanks! That is exactly what I was afraid of. I am not fond of trying to learn the bones. However, bio's are the only thing I am missing to go into the LPN-RN mobility program. Thanks
I love geriatrics..... even prior to being a nurse I always loved them! It is to bad that our society doesn't admire what they have contributed in their productive days. Instead we (as a whole) are...
Here is the information I have..... I filled out the application online and they contacted me. She told me that they did not have any RN positions available, only LPN's! Good luck.....I hope this...

Ohhh MY! It sounds like you are reliving my past! I had the same thing happen to me with my first nursing job. Mine was a little different (a new DON was brought in). Another LPN (who would have...
A little background on the situation: The DON has not liked me from the begining (less than a year ago when she got there). She befriended a fellow LPN who is a back stabber and tells her anything...
Yes, it is termed "Employee at will". Any employer has the ability to terminate employment for no reason.....however, you cannot terminate someone by applying rules to them that you have not applied...
I also work in LTC (have since I graduated in 2004). Personally I think you went way overboard. At the facility I work at we consider that "looking out for each other". Of course the next time we...

Those are all very small (country) little places. Sand Mountian (that is what the location of the last three has always been called) is a cluster of farming communities. I personally would not visit...

And they actually think anyone has time for this???? Maybe they need a line that says "Your Matradee today is_______" and list the DON's name. My spelling is probably incorrect, but you get the...
Thanks for your reply... I did edit my post to make it a little easier to read.. I do work 36hrs/week and am considered full time. No other employee has to find their own replacement for a request...
I just settled in from taking the PN Nclex. I went to one of the toughest schools in my state for an education and I think I failed it. It was awful! There were questions about med. dx. that I had...

Holly, I don't get on this website much....but I'd love to hear from you when you get your results. I have heard that 85 is good! So congrats! Mine was around 135.....RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE where ya...
Hi everyone! I graduated on the 9th of August from Gadsden State. I felt like I had overcome so much just by completing the program, but then realized that all I worked for could be gone if I don't...
Hey, I went to school at Gadsden State, and they got us connected with an insurance group for that purpose. The insurance was virtually useless, however it was enough to satisfy the requirments of...
