Hi I'm LVN IV and blood withdrawal certificate. I'm wanting to go into something different. Like nurse esthetician. But I could not find if I can do it as lvn or if I need to be RN I keep reading different things. I know I'd have to take extra classes. Would I need to go to beauty school too first? I'm in California thank you.

No, I wouldn't do that it's not her fault. I just want to know why. Or what happend there's got to be a good reason. Or not.

Thank you for replying. No, we both a have the same length of experience and I have been there longer than her. the other co- worker does have young kids too. And I have noticed the whole buddy system there. But that doesn't mean its right. they put me on days for about a month to see how I handled the fast paced setting and different med passes. And they told me I did great and thats when I reminded her about me wanting a day shift position. I told her when I started. And I told her when I first started too. If it is about performance or what she thinks of how I'm doing then I think she should have came and talked to me about it. Instead of giving to someone else with no warning. thank you for the reply.

New LVN 7 months LTC first start out at $20.00/hr now $20.50 full time w/ benifits. Northern, CA usually in Northern, CA LVNs make around $22.00

I am a fairly new LVN been working here for 7 months and its going good, but I work PM shift and I hate it. I asked to be put in line for a day shift. and I reminded her a couple months ago about it and she remembered and said i was second now. so then now like a few days ago a fellow pm shift nurse told me shes going to days now permenently. I was just in shock! and I was so mad. the person in from of me in line had just got days and then it was me. Well they gave it to her. So i am going to talk to her about it tomarrow any heads up or approach addvice would be great. I mean I'm just really upset becuase she started 3 months after I did. wel any advice would be great!! thank you.

Thank you for the advice. I think I am just being my own worst enemy right now! lol

Hello everyone! I'm a new grad still. I have been employed at my new job since Nov. State is here and I am not feeling so confident anymore. :uhoh3:My first day on the floor my nurse that was supposed to be training me sat at the nurses station and ate ice cream all night and decided to do some orders and some charting for me. I told her I would be more comfortable if she was with me to give me tips and help me out if I got behind and she said no you have to do it by yourself. So it was a really bad experience. She went and talked to the DON and said I wasn't doing good. And to the CNAs that i wasn't gonna cut it. But i stuck it out and my speed got better and i have been on the same hall since, and I know the residents now. So one of my questions is this same nurse came to me and told me I had to do an evaluation on a CNA she can't do it cuz it is conflict of interest they do not get along at all. So if wouldnt be fair. So I asked if DON knew and she said yes. But It made me feel uneasy that my bosses didn't come ask me or ask me If I felt comfortable with it. Im really not comfortable with it! So I looked at it and said you know I dont think I 'm ready to do this yet. and I gave it back to her. And she told me I had to do it. An I said I dont feel comfortable with it. And I'm still a new nurse and Im still in my probation period. So what I want to know has anyone ever heard of this? And is it right?? And also I have had ups and downs with CNAs nurses. people making up stuff about me I am a young nurse, but that doesnt give them a right to be talking about me to other nurses, my bosses and especially CNAs. It has put like a barrier with trust and my CNAs too! When my DON calls me in to talk about problems going on. I kind of react with shock because I feel like i'm getting better and I tell them that. And they also go to other Nurses and ask them about me and how I am doing. I wish they would come to me and ask me. So my other concern is with state being there. I go back to work tomarrow and they will probably watch me and my med pass. Any tips or advice would be great!! I'm kinda nervous about things like, if someone is on the bed pan and I bring them their meds, and they want to wait. Do I waste them and then come back later? Do I have them take them right then?? I am just really overwhelmd again! Please help!!
