  1. Dealing with frustrating family and supervisor

    SquishyRN replied to SquishyRN's topic in General Nursing

    If I were to speculate, I assume they waited that long to complain bc that is probably when the 2nd daughter arrived and asked her sister what happened during the day. I doubt the first sister...

  2. Dealing with frustrating family and supervisor

    SquishyRN replied to SquishyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to both of you for your advice. How would I go about documenting this particular situation? The treatment was a routine tx so I did no additional documentation other than signing the tx book as...

  3. My application was forwarded..

    SquishyRN replied to DedHedRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do it! That is not too pushy. Especially in today's market. It shows initiative on your part. Just don't bombard them with multiple letters. You want to get noticed, but not as the annoying

  4. Looking for a job in Orange County, CA

    SquishyRN replied to quynhy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    IMO I think you're pretty lucky for even getting that job given that you're a new LVN grad in southern California, especially the OC/LA area. The market is killer! I know because I'm in that boat...

    Know isolation precautions and indications and practice lots of prioritization and delegation questions. My classmates and I had LOTS of those. It pretty much characterized my whole test actually....

  8. anyone? micro and/or physio spring 2011?

    SquishyRN replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. My micro teacher always gave us study guides for our 3 unit exams when we started each unit instead of right before the exam, so we could study for the exam as we went through the unit...

  9. Indiana State University Online LVN to RN program

    SquishyRN replied to S-Rank's topic in Indiana State University

    I'm in California as well and was considering ISU as an option. Does the school find you your preceptor or do you have to find one yourself? I've read older posts here that have said how difficult it...

    SquishyRN replied to sweetjellies1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hmm... I can't seem to edit my above post, I forgot to at something. Don't get me wrong, there is no way I think 2 days was enough in any circumstance, but the job market is extremely tough....

  11. on call on different floor that too once a week....help..

    SquishyRN replied to sweetjellies1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It varies among LTC facilities (at least from what I've read on these forums), but what they have in common is that when it comes to LTC, it's definitely short, at least when compared to hospitals. It...

  12. sleepless... and working only one day a week.

    SquishyRN replied to sweetjellies1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't stress it! Don't revolve your life around the possibility that they might call. I've had to turn down work b/c I had already made plans. If you can, you can, if you can't then you can't. I...

    SquishyRN replied to jmitchell-85's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey there! I made a post on your other thread about tips for night shift, and I guess on this thread you're just looking for tips in general. I made a post on this old thread about what my day...

  15. on call on different floor that too once a week....help..

    SquishyRN replied to sweetjellies1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    we have a separate treatment book where all the treatments are listed pretty much the same way the meds are in the med book. We would know if the treatment was given bc it would have been initialed...

  16. on call on different floor that too once a week....help..

    SquishyRN replied to sweetjellies1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I feel you! I'm a new grad, licensed in December, working my first nursing job in LTC on a per diem basis too. My orientation was only 2 days long for the same shift and station. After that, I had to...

  17. Where are LVN's being hired at in Los Angeles county, CA?

    SquishyRN replied to Kingocal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in the same boat as you guys, licensed in December and applying to everything I find online and doing drop in applications. I can't remember how many applications I've sent out, but I have them...
