I have interview at a LTC community with the position of 7am-7pm Monday-Wednesday-Friday, off every weekend, would love to know everyone's thoughts on that shift. Currently I work from home doing a sales position stuck in front of a desk 45 hours we...

I just interviewed yesterday for a 12 hour every weekend 7pm-7:30 am Saturday and Sunday with a pay of $26/hr and you get paid for 36 hours every week with full benefits and I think I got the job, the ADON said she would have the recruiter start on m...

I worked for two other assisted-living communities in the past as the director of nursing or health and wellness director whatever you want to call it. I had to do all the interviewing, hiring firing disciplinary actions schedules call offs, and I wa...

Thank you for your reply. I should also mention that the job I work from home, is not nursing, it is sales and there is a great deal of pressure with hitting sales quota, phone time and connected calls, I have been doing it a year now, the salary is...

I have had 2 interviews already and am waiting as we speak for a phone call from the VP for my 3rd interview for the Resident Care Coordinator position in a PA ALF facility that has approximately 107 beds. I have worked as a Director of Wellness abo...

Hi Ladies, My name is Alice and I'm an LPN in PA and I started as a Clinical Assistant in October of 2011 at the local Vo-tech. I do all of the training for the nurse aide program at the clinical sites of hospitals and nursing homes. I love the job...

Well, I passed the Lehigh Valley Hospital Physician's Group medication test and injection practicum and I have had 2 interviews already and I still do not know the pay rate. Does anyone know if it goes by experience (I have 16 yrs.) I have never wo...

Hi Melissa, Thanks for asking. I have had nothing but "general" orientation so far. Tomorrow is my first day on the job at the practice. I am excited. I have to say that they really seem like a top notch organization. They really care about peop...

My Dad went into a state of delirium within about 3 days and was falling constantly. Took him to the hospital and we thought we were going to have to put him in a home. Here he had Lyme disease and as soon as he went on antibiotics, boom, he was ba...

WOW, I am so sorry for your experience. To look at the positive side of things, I bet this will make you a better and more compassionate nurse being through this. I will tell you that both of my kids were a C-section and they are 9 years apart but ...

I wish that they did checks on the insulin or did their narcotics checks. You wouldn't believe the other stuff I witnessed today: One LPN was eating her whole shift (candy and snacks on her med cart)--not washing hands (ever!)--even after taking bloo...

YEAH!!! You are going to love it here!!

Thank you for everything! I found out my payrate and it is not what I had hoped for but I really think it is because of the location. It is in Hamburg right near Cabela's. I start at $16.75/hr and the last time I got paid that was my very first nu...

Hi Ladies, I have a question I am hoping someone can help me with. I never took Chemistry in high school and I failed Algebra by one point in high school as well. I am an LPN now for 16 years and got a 3.2 GPA. I am thinking about going back for m...

Thank you so much for your reply!!! I appreciate you sharing your experience with me! :)

Well, I just found out last night that I got the job!!! Only problem is, they don't have a pay rate for me yet. The clinical coordinator said they are working on that and she will let me know on Wednesday. Let's hope it is a good one!!

By the way, they did 2 reference checks too. Is that normal and to STILL not have a chance at getting the job??

Oh gosh...that stinks. I thought 2 interviews and a med test was a good thing. So if I don't get this job, if there is another one that comes up in a LVPG, I can apply for that and not have to re-take the med test or go through that 2nd interview w...

Okay ladies, I graduated LPN school when I was 23 y/o in 1993 and have worked Full-time my entire nursing career up until I had my 2nd child in 2004. At that time, I worked the weekend program working every weekend 11-7 for a year and then I went to ...

Okay ladies, I appreciate everyones input. I wasn't going to say what business I do because I didn't want people thinking that I was "advertising". Anyway, because I have had a couple of requests, I am a Star Division Manager with lia sophia jewelr...

Personally, I have worked in a hospital and LTC and if you are in need of money, I would do both if you can work it out that way. If money is not your first motivator, I say go with the experience. That is one thing I regret is that when I graduate...

This must be contagious because I am turning 39 at the end of this month and I have this OVERWHELMING feeling that I HAVE to go back and get my RN for self satisfaction, however, I feel like I am too old and what am I thinking.

By the way, I have done LTC pretty much my entire career and now that I am 25 days short of my "39"th birthday, I do not want to work weekends or holidays anymore. I have worked every weekend probably about 10 years of my nursing career and that is ...

OMG, thank you so much for your reply!! I had my first interview with the clinical coordinator and another gentlemen and then they gave me the name of Noreen to have a 2nd interview and to take the medication test and injection practicum which I pas...
