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 benefits of any other establishment for the baylor shift ...

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 nothing but failure. Do not stay and let that sit...

DITTO!

BLESS YOUR HEART! I know you are glad it's over. :)

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 took me a while to be able to accept that there are ...

Has anyone taken it? If so, how did you do? Would you suggest taking it online or on site?

I am so happy for you! Congrats!!!!

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 again!

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 so ready to shove them away as if they are nothin...

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 helps! Access Nurses Toll Free: 866-687-7390 x 114...

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 jumped off a building for her) ran to her for eve...

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 and everything that goes on. She also GAVE her a s...

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 to other employees in an equal capacity. So, what...

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 see each other we do alert the other person to the ...

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 the only hospital that I know of there. I live i...

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 idea. I would be furious. I was a waitress for 8 yea...

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 day off.

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 never even heard of. They mentioned religions tha...

Holly, I am SO glad for you!!! Alabama has a reputation of about three weeks for results So, I am still waiting. Good luck to everyone else!

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 can't tell. My email is [email protected] if you'd...

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 pass the NCLEX. Yes, I knew this all along, but ...

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 haveing to have it... anyway the name of the compa...
