    CrazyGoonRN replied to CalNevaMimi's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just write a basic fax cover letter and put it with your resume. I did the same thing when applying for jobs last year. I just googled sample nursing fax cover letters and used the examples I found to...

    LPN to RN or BSN

    CrazyGoonRN replied to rxyh's topic in LPN to RN

    Honestly, I think the smartest thing to do is to apply to all available programs in your area and go to the one you get into. I applied to a LPN-RN program and didn't get in. A few months later I...

    CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

    CrazyGoonRN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok you say most nurses degrade CNA's?? I think not. Good nurses understand the importance of CNA's and respect what they do. If someone who is alert and oriented called you a nurse and you are not a...

    CrazyGoonRN replied to happy-gal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would recommend starting out on night shift. There are a lot less meds to pass and things are generally calmer, but not always. Every patient is different and what works on one may or may not work...

    On Call Staffing, Inc. or Guardian Angel Nursing?

    CrazyGoonRN replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly I didn't feel comfortable knowing so little about them either. I didn't work there long. I didn't have much of an orientation. I was completly shocked that they would leave me there with a...
