I have been an STNA for 9 years. I graduated from school in Aug, took the NCLEX in Oct passed first time... All I am hearing is LPN are going away, no jobs what I do find is 2-3 yrs experience required. How do I get the experience? Did I waste my time and money going to school? I live in north east Ohio. Any advice or nsupport would be appreciated.. Thanks for allowing me to vent

yes print our your att from your email. I just did this in ohio. I took my emailed att and it was accepted. PS I passed !!!

thank you. I feel better now. I really want to get out of where I am now. (stna in long term care)

i (hopefully) will graduate in Aug. Do I start looking for a job before i graduate? What about all the jobs that say experience required? Will anyone hire me before I take/ pass NCLEX?

i understand about med pass i was speaking of put the light on or come find aide just so they can continue to flirt or bs or READ A BOOK !. I really hope Real Nurse did not mean RN as oppossed to Lets Play Nurse(LPN). yep pretty sure i've ****** off more better just sign off now

sorry if this upsets any one. i am a newbie on here. I am an 8 year vet as stna 3/4 of the way through lpn school but my question is why do nurses put call lights on when residents want water, taken to Br, of transfered to bed. I know they are busy but if the residents does not have alarm the nurse could taken to br and told to pull light, pouring water from pitcher to cup or transfering to bed does not take that long. ok i guess i will make a lot of enemies know just had to get that off my chest.

my mother had a man come in to ER C/O itching on his face......it was covered in maggots!!!! My story while in clinicals assisting my instructor with suctioning a trach a large brown mucus plug hit my mouth !!!I held my composure. Been working in LTC for 8 years sorta getting used to this kinda thing. All I could think of was Welcome to nursing .
