    andreasmom02 replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    I think everyone is different. I have an in law who works from home and has for years. She loves it. I'm a stay at home mom and work PRN as an LPN. I really need a job where I can mostly be home. I...

    Sorry I installed the shower head in the living room, honey. I'm a bit delusional since the hospital hasn't given me time off in

  4. Please I need advice!

    andreasmom02 replied to Q_vick03's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yep, I see my bad, I misread article... sorry... To the OP, I hope you get this settled at your work place... Maybe things will get easier as time goes

  5. Please I need advice!

    andreasmom02 replied to Q_vick03's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry you're going through this. I've been there. I personally didn't like my first preceptor in nursing school. I was later assigned to a much nicer preceptor later in school. Unfortunately, I think...

  6. LPNs are nurses too.

    andreasmom02 replied to vbarger28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This debate has went on for years and years. Yes RNs have more school, yes, LPNs typically work under the direction of an RN. However, LPN stands for Licensed practical NURSE. I'm an LPN and am proud...

    andreasmom02 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Looks like nursing finals are over at the community

  8. Burned out and hate nursing

    andreasmom02 replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I see this post is a little old as well, but figured I'd put in my two cents. I wanted to post this mainly for those planning on being a nurse, & current nursing students. I became an LPN in '08....

  9. CNA claiming to be a nurse

    andreasmom02 replied to jjdcn_5's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm an LPN. I worked with a person like this once. They came in off the street and "claimed" to be a medical assistant. The private practice doctors I worked with actually hired them. That person...

  10. Keep my License Active or Let it Expire?

    andreasmom02 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would keep it active if I were in your shoes. As others have said, never know when you'll need it! Plus, nursing school was hard. We all worked hard for those diplomas, degrees & licenses. I'm...

  11. Help! I look young!

    andreasmom02 replied to hella_RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That sounds a bit harsh... I think she was truly looking for some

  12. Not getting charge nurse position

    andreasmom02 replied to frisky's topic in Nurse Management

    So sorry you're dealing with that... I think it's dirty of your company to treat you that way when you were obviously more qualified. If it were me, I'd look for a nurse management position at another...

  13. I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    andreasmom02 replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm an LPN. When I was in LPN school, studying was my life. My husband & I had a 4 year old child at the time (who is now 12 1/2). I felt like I neglected them when studying. My hubby would take...

  15. Forced to resign, new grad with only 1 year of experinece.

    andreasmom02 replied to Elan84's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really sorry you're going through all of this. I've been an LPN since '08. I worked in the hospital ER a little bit in nursing school during clinicals at a local hospital. I worked with some of...

  16. How old is too old to pursue an MSN?

    andreasmom02 replied to Ancientnurse18's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you're ever too old to pursue your dreams. My cousin who is an RN just got her NP in her mid 40s. It really depends on how much energy you want to put in to something I think. She said...

    andreasmom02 replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

  18. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    andreasmom02 replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    I have been thinking of applying for admissions clerk type jobs for part time or PRN work, while working on my coding certificate, but I'm afraid that my LPN will hold me back as well. Has any nurses...

    andreasmom02 replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    Do you currently work as an LPN or are you still a full time SAHM? Did you ever find another career path? I'm an LPN & full time SAHM. I work PRN as a healthscreener nurse though. I am trying to...

  20. Should I quit nursing school?

    andreasmom02 replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    I don't want to discourage you, and don't want to tell you to quit, you definitely have to do what you feel is right in this situation. If you're interested in psychology, you could definitely do some...

  21. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    andreasmom02 replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    I think everyone is different. Many people have to work outside of the home, others it doesn't matter. My husband is the type that has to work outside of the home... He can't sit still more than 30...

    andreasmom02 replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    Hi, wasn't sure if your comment was for me or not... If it was I haven't became a CPC yet. I'm still taking classes online to become one. Right now I'm just learning about insurance and the steps to...

  24. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    andreasmom02 replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    I did decide to go in to coding, and am glad I did. I already love the coding material I'm starting to learn. I am doing a community college certificate program for it (all online). I am hoping to be...
