I am currently working at an ALF and as I see it , am having personality issues with one of the Residents. My record to date is perfect and I am extremely scared that she will blemish it. I have been there for four years without incident and I believe from input am truly liked by all except her. I realize you cannot please everyone. This resident is not confused at all but she is lying to other staff members about me. The biggest issue is when I work at night I am the only person in the building so there are no witnesses. She is not claiming that I am hurting her, but she has accused me of unplugging her phone or not answering her calls to the desk for help to bathroom. I have all ready spoke to the admin and made her aware of the personality issue. If anyone had a helpful hints to resolve the situation I really would appreciate it. As always I thankyou for your input.

I was 17 when I graduated LPN school.

In Fl it is every two years. In New york it is every three

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother several years ago to AIDS it was difficult because like you I was very close to him. I agree with the above posts go to grief counseling lean on your friends for support. Your school seems like it offers help as well, utilize all of it! God bless you and your family, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. And yes you do have a special angel looking down on you from heaven.

You could also try an Assisted Living Facility. I was in the same boat as Selenak, out of nursing for a long time, took a refresher course, got IV certified and BLS then began looking for a job....even though i had a great job history( totally different field) it was not helpful for me in trying to get a LPN position. I ultimately got hired at an ALF and I love it! Great way for me to ease back into nursing and gain experience! Good Luck and DO NOT give up ....ther is someone out there that WILL give you a chance!

Thank you all for your kind words!

Sadly when i went to work today my friend had passed. It was truly an honor and a blessing to have him in my life I will never forget him! He was truly an amazing person. I felt a feeling of relief when I found out ...... no more suffering and he is now at rest. ( still very sad though) Rest in Peace Sir!!!!!(Poppi) Love you

First let me say Happy Holidays to all the allnurses.com bloggers and staff! I am a reentry LPN working at an ALF and I do love it been there about 10 months now and I am now dealing with one of my residents on Hospice and very close to dying. I have become very close to this res and family . This is really the first death at the ALF that I have had to deal with , so actually I am lucky that way. Yesterday was tough every time i left the room i broke down!I forgot how heartbreaking this can be. My biggest goal right now is to make sure he stays comfortable, which Hospice is doing a great job in seeing that he is! well thanks for letting me vent !

After many years of having my NY license inactive I contacted them to reactivate my license and I have to say they were most helpful to me I received the paperwork very quickly! The whole process took me maybe two weeks! So I am shocked to see that you are having a problem. After the process I have told many people how helpful the NY BON was for me.

Actually no. I did the online program and what is nice is you do it really at your pace also worked along with Saunders NCLEX Review book!I also was so nervous about going back to school, but as i got into the class i was more relaxed about it. The support was wonderful! I owe my successful return to nursing to Myself and Capscare!Good luck!

Up until recently I would have said starched white uniforms but i truly believe that colorful print scrubs are much better . I think they make patients less afraid and feel more comfortable. And my age is 51
