  1. need some advice re:an oppotunity...

    Peds_Nurse replied to nurse nina's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Take the Job! Don't listen to the nurse who is leaving, why is she leaving anyway? You're a licensed nurse and they are taking advantage of you as a med tech, paying you lower wages while using your...

  2. What is a hourly rate of pay for a LVN/LPN in bay area?

    Peds_Nurse replied to sweetmya's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with both responses. Put "open" or "negotiable" on your application and/or resume. Also, I graduated from LVN school in San Jose also and know there are very few nursing jobs open there,...

    Peds_Nurse replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Last night was a bad night. I have one specific aid that never stops talking, I mean NEVER! She rattles on and usually stands next to my cart while she does it. I asked her to please stop because...

    Peds_Nurse replied to Kashia's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Geeze, Kasha! I think you must work in the same facility as mine! Last night I had 2 of my CNAs come up to me during the shift, one wanted to know if I could identify a pill she had in her pocket!...

  6. Q about med pass...

    Peds_Nurse replied to Mommyof3Boys's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  8. How to get the cna's to follow instructions

    Peds_Nurse replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have the same problems at my facility. It's not all the CNAs. We have some dynamite people that bust their humps for the residents. But, there are always a few, and one in particular that...

  9. How Do You Unwind?

    Peds_Nurse replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I come home to a "happy-to-see-me" Rottadore puppy (Rottweiler/Labrador mix) He climbs in my lap when I get home, I sit with him for awhile petting and talking to him and he calms me down. I tell...
