    luv4nursing replied to CNA1991's topic in General Nursing

    luv4nursing replied to new2manage's topic in Ob/Gyn

    luv4nursing replied to belle005's topic in Ob/Gyn

  11. Anywhere in the country hiring new LPN grads with no experience?

    luv4nursing replied to sawyer1200's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Also consider peds home health. PSA (Pediatric Services of America) and Maxim Healthcare specialize in private duty peds with chronically ill kids. Most have g tubes and some have trach's and some are...

    luv4nursing replied to feisty's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is there any way you can point me to the article? This sounds like a great idea for the unit I just started training on. Staffing is scarce and there are a lot of new grads and new to OB nurses and...

  14. wondering if a complaint will be filed against me

    luv4nursing replied to weavrvirgorising's topic in General Nursing

    more than likely nothing will come of it. I remember getting reamed by a Dr as a new grad for not calling results on a low K+ level. It wasnt critical, but it was low and what I was taught in...

  15. Day or Night shift in L&D

    luv4nursing replied to MissyKrissyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  16. LPN instead of RN?

    luv4nursing replied to nowim clean's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I politely beg to differ. LPN was a stepping stone to becoming an RN for me. I was in the process of taking my RN prereq's and was discouraged that the generic track RN program had a waiting list of...

  19. When can I apply to Frontier???

    luv4nursing replied to NurseB_'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I take that to mean that it is in fact your RN degree that they will use the gpa from. You sound a lot like me, I also took a LPN to RN bridge and my gpa was good (I think 3.4 or 3.5) but my overall...

  20. Tips on getting into OB?

    luv4nursing replied to BellaRN24's topic in Ob/Gyn
