  1. Going per diem in first year?

    HisTreasure posted a topic in General Nursing

    Child care has been an issue for my husband and I ever since I started working. I was getting a child care subsidy while in school but of course now I am no longer eligible. We were able to find a...

  2. LVN Pay in your Area???

    HisTreasure replied to Anjewels's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    $13.50 plus $1.00 evening differential as a GPN. In three months I'll be due for a raise, but we are under new management on my unit, so I don't know what I can honestly expect. NY State dialysis...

  4. RN who wouldn't be CNA

    HisTreasure replied to cjog's topic in Nursing Career

    AGREED! I was never a CNA. In fact, LPN was my first venture into the healthcare field. I did work in food service at a LTC, but you don't get much exposure to patient care down in the basement......

  5. My Exam 9/17/2005!!

    HisTreasure replied to IcantThinkofaName's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you so much for the tips! Not to hijack the thread, but I sit for my boards 9/26! I can't wait until I can "legally" (LOL) post on the LPN board! BTW, I have the NCLEX-PN Made Incredibly Easy...

  7. *rant* "Nurse" at office answering questions.

    HisTreasure replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I posted earlier about my cousin the MA, and I took one poster's advice about telling her about the ramifications of calling herself a nurse. However in our conversation I was enlightened. It seems...

  8. *rant* "Nurse" at office answering questions.

    HisTreasure replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it is almost regular practice for some MAs to call themselves nurses. My cousin just finished MA school. We went to the uniform store together and she was getting a few scrub tops with...

  9. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    HisTreasure replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just a thought, and please keep in mind that I haven't read all 7 pages yet, but this post hit a nerve with me. I went through this same thing a few days back. We have two seperate med carts but...

  10. LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

    HisTreasure replied to Couture_Honey's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well an update from my part of the world: While I make 13.50 as a new grad (14.50 with my evening diff which is my assigned shift once I get licensed) I have found that the going rate for GPNs in my...

  11. Tattoos and nursing

    HisTreasure replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, I'll share as soon as I get a new digital camera. The battery door on my current one is broken off, and unfortunately it houses one of those electrode things. :imbar It's still swollen...

  12. Tattoos and nursing

    HisTreasure replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    I did a search on this topic because I was very much interested in what the general consensus on tattoos was. I am going to get my first tattoo on Saturday. Hopefully it will be the first of...

  13. PDA's-Are They Worth It?

    HisTreasure replied to TypicalFish's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have a 1 gig memory card I purchased off of eBay. I got the card for a little over $40 with shipping included. I don't think the installed memory would be enough because I carry so many references...

  14. PDA's-Are They Worth It?

    HisTreasure replied to TypicalFish's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know this question was not directed at me, but I thought I would jump right in. I have the Treo 650. Here is the link so you can check it out yourself....

  15. Aides giving the "new nurse" problems

    HisTreasure replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I, too am a new nurse in a LTC facility. Age: 23. Right now the aides seem to respect me and my authority, although I do notice the "sarcasm" when pharmacy brings up an order that needs to be signed...

  16. First month of Nursing

    HisTreasure posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just completed my first full month as a nurse. I am a GPN in a subacute ltc facility. I am working straight days for the time being as I am orienting. I find the position challenging and fun. I...

  17. Women who don't know they're pregnant

    HisTreasure replied to StarNurse2006's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't know for about four months. I had just had my first daughter on Christmas, 2001. It was a difficult labor ending in an emergency c-section. I went to my two week post-partum check up and...

  18. Curious about GPC

    HisTreasure replied to cassbuth's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I sure hope GPC is doable. My s-i-l just started at GPC for her

  19. Nursing PDA

    HisTreasure replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    Let me start off by saying: I am very verbose. So this may get a little lengthy. I agree with the above posters. You first need to know what type of OS you prefer. Many people say they like Windows...

  20. CNA Info

    HisTreasure replied to andreamae's topic in General Nursing

    :uhoh21: :uhoh21: :uhoh21: God Bless the CNAs, PCTs, LPN/LVNs, RNs, BSNs, MSNs, NPs, CNMs, etc. We are all a team. I am an LPN. I am a feces slinger. I am an RN student, I am a feces slinger....

  21. Ordering from the States

    HisTreasure replied to Dratz's topic in International Nursing

    http://www.scrubscanada.com has some cute scrubs. They have a US equivalent site, but this site is especially for Canadians. I know I am not answering the original comment (as I live in the US and...

  22. Anyone receive a sign on bonus?

    HisTreasure posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Has any LPN received a sign on bonus? One facility (LTC) I applied to is advertising sign on bonuses, but it doesn't specify amount or whether it is RN or LPN exclusive. If you have received a sign...

  23. Orientation tomorrow

    HisTreasure posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    My new job orientation is tomorrow. I know I won't be actually working, but I am so excited and nervous. I still haven't gotten my paperwork in to get my ATT, our school just got our photos on...

    HisTreasure replied to DZcarrie's topic in General Students

    I went to Wal-Mart today to purchase my very first scrub top for work. *YAY!* It was $7 because it was on clearance, but all of the other scrub tops were about $13 a peice. So... my first check I...
