    nursecrickett posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hello, I'm searching to find out if any of you work for Kaiser as an LVN? I'm wondering what your experience has been, if you get to practice as an LVN or mostly in MA capacity, and most of all, if...

  3. Kaiser LVNs Anyone?

    nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in California Nursing

    I've been hired by Kaiser as a clinic LVN in the inland empire. There are more openings and postings all the time. My friend in San Diego also is working as an LVN at Kaiser, but through a registry....

  4. california working lvn

    nursecrickett replied to iluvmynavyman's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I didn't work when I did mine. Lots of women did. It was harder for them, and their grades weren't as high as the ones that didn't, but I realized that we "all" became nurses, no matter what we did...

  5. Kaiser LVNs Anyone?

    nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in California Nursing

    I wasn't looking for a post reply "to my liking". I was simply trying to figure out the real deal with Kaiser. It is obvious that different areas have different things going on. I appreciate all of...

  6. Kaiser LVNs Anyone?

    nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in California Nursing

    I'm really not trying to argue with anyone or debate the issue. I live in the desert in Cali, and they "are" presently hiring LVNs......since this is a union position, how can they somehow "get rid...

  7. Kaiser LVNs Anyone?

    nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in California Nursing

    We'll see about that....time will tell I suppose.... Although.....there has been talk of doing away with LVNs for decades now, and they haven't. Talk is cheap. Thanks!

  8. Kaiser LVNs Anyone?

    nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in California Nursing

  10. Kaiser LVNs Anyone?

    nursecrickett replied to nursecrickett's topic in California Nursing

    I have heard good and bad about the care. I'm hoping to gain more insight on both the care and the company as a whole when you are an employee. Thanks!

  11. Highest paying LVN job??

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

    Really.....San Fran is THE most expensive place to live....houses run 600,000+ and thats probably not in the best neighborhood. Most run a mil or more.....CRAZY....so $20 something an hr isn't doing...

    nursecrickett replied to freckles2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have worked in 2 different clinic settings. It is common practice for scripts to be filled out by the LVNs and MAs. One office looked at the Rx and then signed it. The other clinic the Drs. trust...

    nursecrickett replied to JaneyW's topic in Nursing Career
