I found this article to be, in a word.... STUPID. To top it off, the person that wrote the article sounds like a real BI*CH. Obviously, she is not seeing things through the patient's perspective. I'm sure that if she had a relative, God forbid, that was in the Hospital....she would feel much differently. She would have appreciation above and beyond for that nurse if she was a decent human being. Besides, not all nurses are as compassionate with the patient's family members as others. I've seen this first hand. If someone calls her "an angel" she shouldn't feel like her abilities as a nurse are being confused with passion and niceness. She should be overwhelmed with satisfacion that she made a real difference in her patient's life as well as their family members and friends. After all, isn't that why nurses go into this profession to begin with? To make a difference in people's lives? Or is it for the money and the pride? :angryfire

Hi! I am also enrolled in an accellerated nursing program. I start in another week, in 11 months I will have my LPN. I am definately going to have to work the weekends to pay my car insurance. This is not too bad, because since I am 19, I have no bills. I am going to apply at an asisted living facility so that way I could make decent money and also gain experience in the nursing field.

That was so cute Franny!! I loved it!! Thanks for the laugh! :rotfl: :rotfl: God bless, Domenica

Hi Everyone! I am on my way to becoming an LPN. I start school this April. I would like to start gaining some experience now, so I was thinking about applying for a job at a local nursing home. Is there anything specific that I need before I would be able to work at a nursing home? I know I wouldn't be working as an LPN of course, but I just wanted to get my foot in the door. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!! ...Domenica

Hi everyone! I am just starting a career as an LPN, and was told by my fiance's mother that in Texas, hospitals are so much in demand for nurses that some are offering $50,000 sign on bonuses. Is this true? If so, does this just apply to just RN's or to LPN's as well? Any information that you could provide would be very helpfull. Thank you! ...Domenica
