  1. Thinking about LPN instead of Rn now.

    J Lynn replied to CrystalClear75's topic in LPN to RN

    If you want to work in a Doctor's office, LPN may be the way to go. In my area, docs only hire LPNs, CNAs, or MAs. They don't want to pay for a RN. I made 10.50/hr right out of school. Depending on...

  3. patient assistance programs

    J Lynn replied to darla80's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I know this is an old topic, but there were so many patients needing this kind of help that the Doc had to charge them for the work I was doing for them. Now that Medicare Part D is here, those...

  5. Private Office Pay for RN's

    J Lynn replied to babyrn1301's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Annor, what type of proceedures to you do there? I'm curious since I'm a LPN for an Endocrinologist only making 10.50/hr with not much increase in site. Is it where you live that determines your pay...

  6. How to be a new grad office nurse?

    J Lynn replied to prairiegirl's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I guess that's why I went for LPN. That's all the docs around here hire. Some even only hire MAs or CNAs to do the same work. The pay scale is less....more in their pocket. The doc I work for hired me...

  7. One nurse, no time off.

    J Lynn replied to Limik's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Same boat here. I had to train the receptionist on how to triage patients for the slim chance I would be out one day. She actually had to fill in, and she did great. She took care of all my RX...

  8. Uneasy feelings from observing for a nursing school clinical

    J Lynn replied to love for nursing's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Boy, after reading some of these posts I realized how good I have it. I guess sometimes you have to find an office that everyone works well together. The office I work in is very small. It's just me...

  9. lpn or rn in office setting

    J Lynn replied to nursewannabee's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    The doctor I work for wouldn't hire a RN due to the pay scale. After I got the job, I was glad to be a LPN b/c it's an awsome job to have. I'm surronded by different doctor's offices that either hire...

    J Lynn replied to J Lynn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Suebird & Fiona: Thanks for the response. Being the only nurse in the clinic has it's ups and downs, but for the most part, I love it. One of the downfalls is the patients get to know you and call...

    For about a year now, I've been feeling what seemed like a flutter feeling in my heart. Then recently it is more like a dipping feeling. Almost like when you go on a roller coaster........that feeling...

  13. NCLEX book - Any suggestions?

    J Lynn replied to ashemson's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I borrowed books and looked for used books to buy. I studied out of 4 different ones, but what really prepared me was the hands on learning I did in school. I left the testing room with no confidence...

  14. ATI Testing

    J Lynn replied to almostanurse26's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We had to take the ATI and most of us thought it was a waste of money. I didn't feel like it helped me pass boards. Unfortunitly, if the program you are in participates, then you'll have to make the...

    J Lynn replied to Chevelle's topic in Pediatric

    I know you guys are talking about toddlers, but I have to mention some things about my 3 1/2 year old daughter. She still doesn't eat. If it doesn't look like a mc donalds nugget.....forget it. She...

    J Lynn replied to mrsmoo2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Angel, I had two interviews with Ochsner, even shadowed a nurse for a few hours, and they never called me back (how rude). So I found a small 25 bed hospital in Franklin that was very welcoming toward...
