    oneflyLPN posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi! I'm an LPN new to the area, still looking for work in the field while I go back to school. My background is in mental health, so I'm signing up for some classes to refresh my clinical skills in...

  2. LPN applying to CNA II positions

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yes you can in the state of NC, according to the BON. You might have missed that in my post. I'm just wondering if hospital recruiters/HR will actually HIRE a nurse who wants to "work

    oneflyLPN posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi all! I'm still pretty new to the RDU area (relocated here 4 months ago) and researching EVERYTHING I can get my hands on about the nursing industry down here. I'm originally from the Philadelphia...

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thanks I checked them out, didn't see much coming up that was hands on but I also found the NCAHEC website and they list courses (online, practice based, blended) all over the state, so I'm going to...

  6. Think I committed career suicide...

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks to everyone that replied and for the hugs :-). For focusedvalpn and Sensoria17, yes I've searched the forums and scoured the BON website. And as far as jobs that don't require phlebotomy, I've...

  7. Think I committed career suicide...

    oneflyLPN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi everyone, I'm gonna try to make this long story short. I'm really frustrated right now. I got my LPN license in 2008, got a job at a state mental health facility and worked there for 8 months...

    oneflyLPN posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Hi everyone! I'm ready to go back to college soon and finish my bachelor's degree, but I have a few questions about the LPN-ADN/BSN route. Let me give you guys some background info about me first. I...

  9. Thinking of going back to nursing school....

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in LPN to RN

    Hi Hospice Nurse! No I don't plan on staying in psych. I need more hands on then psych is able to provide, although I'd like to work in an eating disorders setting like Renfrew Center. And I'm not...

  10. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    oneflyLPN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently debating with myself on whether not to bridge to the RN or to pursue other interests. I've heard from so many nurses out there who seem to have a real problem with those of us nurses who...

    I'm sorry, what are you referring

  12. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I was in agreeance with your post abt McDonalds but then, I can only speak for me

  13. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    With the McDonalds example, I think the point here is that if a person loves what they do and seeks to develop professionally in whatever it is they do, then it is no longer "just a job". "Just a job"...

  14. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Reading the posts here on nursing "just being a job", it seems that (and I hope I don't get flamed for this, lol) many of the male nurses don't have the same emotional attachment to the job that women...

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi LilaOR, Well some of it came from posts I've read online on various nursing sites. Other comments came from an instructor here or there when I was in school. I actually had a clinical...

    Oramar, I am laughing so hard right now! Maybe the guy was being sarcastic (I hope so for his sake). Hahahahaha, I'm still trying to catch my breath :rotfl:

  17. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you 1000%. All that you thought about, I also had to consider because I knew there was "dirty work" involved. And I agree, no one should enter this profession with little to NO desire to...

  18. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Jlcole45, I think you misunderstood when I said some only want to go for administrative work. I have no issue with that at all and am glad that there are nurses who want to do it. I've worked for a...

    Thanks

  20. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    oneflyLPN replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Jlcole45, thanks for your response! I was very much aware of the salary differences between RN & LPN when I considered nursing school. My aunt has been an RN for about six years and lives quite...
