Mommy/Grandma

I went for an interview today for a LPN position in a hospital OB unit. Is it true that these position are rare for a LPN. I work at a OB/GYN clinic now Mon-Fri 9-5 this is for 3 12hr shifts 7p-7a what do you think of the change?

Thanks for you reply. This is at a military hospital and was told they only do on an average 12 births a month. I have worked on a med surg floor at one time so no problem with the family and all. Do you work nights?

Never worked a night shift in my life, what am I getting myself into? I am staring as a LPN in a hospital med-surg.

I sent a resume to Hospice about 6 mo ago never heard from them until today. They said they didn't have anything back then but held onto my resume. Anyway she left me a message to call her. I would love to work for Hospice just wondering how is the p...

I went to an interview for a postion as a surgical asst for a oral surgeon, this job seems to good to be true . Monday -Friday pay for a LPN is $20/hr to start, full family benifits, one doctor office. He said he would rather pay his staff good then ...

I was told that this guy tends to fly off the handle but then acts as if nothing has happened. The last girl worked for him for 6 yrs left and then came back for 8mo and now left again for personal reason. This is what the reception person told me.

What is funny is that if any of these people were our patients they would not know the difference that a LPN or an RN was taking care of them. We do just as much as an RN does except for those few things that keep our pay checks different.

Please help me with this one. I had a postion at a local Planned Parenthood for about 2 mo and a opening came up to get a postion at a local hosptial on the Med/Surg floor working 7P-7A 3 nights a week. Well I am now there 5 mo and told them I am lea...

Thank You:)

No they don't hire LPN's, I wish:)

WOW, thanks so much for you advise. You are right about not doing things if you are unhappy. I would of left sooner also but was doing a loan on my home so I could not leave. And Yes I did feel content at PPH I felt like a person I felt normal and mo...

Finally a person who understands were I am coming from and not concered about the place I am going to. You it the nail on the head whe you said it was the environment not the work. And yes my boss at PPH can't wait until I come back and everyone else...

I am a 3x quitter and misinformed thanks for your advise.

Well it hurts to hear the truth but thanks. I wasn't always a quiter as you put it. I worked as a purchasing agent for a company for 17 years before they closed up I guess it is hard to change careers for me.

Thanks for your advise, but Planned Parenthood does not promote abortions they only supply a service to people who are looking for it. They come to us we don't go to them. We also do other things like annual visits, STD screening, HIV test, biopsy fo...

Went back to school for LPN at the age of 46 makes you feel real good to know can do it.

I am 46 years old and changed my profession to nursing I was out of school for a good 15 years. I didn't think I could do the program it was hard but I did and proud of my self. What bothers me is when you tell people that you are an LPN and they ask...

I had to wear one during my clincals just a year ago when I was going to school to become an LPN I hated it. They get in your way and also harbor germs. Why in world would anyone even think about those caps?????

My screen name comes from my Grandson. I watch him alot because my daughter is a single mom and a nurse also, so when he would call me he would say to me "Mommy I mean Grandama" hence Mommy/Grandma :)

Thanks for you info. I knew my Mom only had about a year to live she had cancer. I brought Hospice in about 4 or months before she passed. Though we never talked about her dying I knew when I took her for walks in the wheel chair and the wind would b...

Yes I am, I love it up here but it is getting crowed more and more each year.

Can you tell me what a home health hospice nurse does? I am a LPN and very much interested in Hospice, in the paper today the local Hospice is looking for an LPN per diem to do home hospice care. My Mom was under Hospice care but in a nursing home, t...
