  1. nurses not giving meds at correct times

    AshiPanda replied to justwannabanurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just started in a similar place a bit over a week ago as a LPN. And yea... the nurses pass their 5P and 9P meds at 4P atleast. I asked them about it, 'cause I was taught, "Not over an hour early,...

  2. Experience is important Do u agree?

    AshiPanda replied to TP_09's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am a new LPN working in a long term care/rehabilitation facility and I have NO fear of losing my skills. A lot of the other new nurses I know that are in the same sort of area say the same thing...

  3. I'm starting to change as a person. Is this what nursing is like?

    AshiPanda replied to summersent's topic in General Nursing

    I was depressed as hell during nursing school! It's just SO demanding, plus most of us have/had to work and you got family always wanting to talk to you, and you're trying to learn all this highly...

  4. med error questions and more

    AshiPanda replied to calgirl123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    At my job, we sign the med, then circle our signature if there was any reason that the med was not given. Then on the back of the MAR page we write a description of why it is circled. It's ok if you...

    AshiPanda replied to prisicruz's topic in Nursing Career

    I've caught bugs and colds and temps and I have stomach aches and blah blah blah, but rarely does it get bad enough that I have to throw up. Do you throw up a lot when you're sick or something? I...

  7. Orientating new nurse

    AshiPanda replied to Bookworm22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been orienting... get all the hands-on experience you can. If one of the nurses just likes to explain what she is doing, ask if you can actually perform whatever she's doing... whether it be a...

  8. I just got suspended

    AshiPanda replied to calgirl123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'd say just stand up for yourself...talk to them about it... show them you're going to put forth the effort to not let this happen again. Show them you're a stand-up person and give them a call or...

  9. PLEASE HELP~~~My Job took my license~~~

    AshiPanda replied to justwannabanurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My job didn't take my license... I am a new LPN, so I don't know exactly how all that works. But... that sounds really weird to me. It's like the DMV wanting your driver's license. LoL! I wouldn't...

  10. LPN starting pay?

    AshiPanda replied to dana0509's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's totally different in Florida depending on the area you're in... hospitals try to start you at the $12/hr crap (and it's even hard to get into a hospital), one hospital has a FLEX position that...

  11. Nursing Shortgage... NO NOT REALLY!

    AshiPanda replied to JoAnnS's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I live in FL, I'm a new LPN.. took me almost two months to finally get a job. Landed one in a ALF/LTC/Rehab place (they put me on rehab), I love it. Here in FL, it's getting hard to get a job in the...

  12. Staffing agency?

    AshiPanda replied to Medsport's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey, maybe you should even look into PRN work at nursing facilities... I just took a PRN position (even though I wanted full time), but I proved myself worthy by my second day of work and they gave me...

    AshiPanda replied to Couture_Honey's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  14. Is any Nursing-related Job "Beneath me?"

    AshiPanda replied to FromNH2VAwherenext's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey, I just graduated LPN school in January, got licensed in February and I JUST got a job this past week in April... I think you should even give the LTC facilities a chance, even if they only at...

  15. How does a new LPN get experience if no one will hire you without experience?

    AshiPanda replied to TDUnewLPN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey, I was JUST having this problem. I'm a new LPN, but did a couple shifts of hospice care for agency. I actually have a lot of luck with agency, even though a lot of them still say they want that 1...
