new grad in family medicine $24.47 orange county,ca

I start at 0430 and I get up 6-8

I also use the reusable grocery bag... Nothing wrong with that..

I hate nurses that are so dependent on the aides!! - if you can walk in the pts room and observe that her lips are dry, don't ask me to offer her water while im busy charting, do it yourself!!!! - don't ask me to clean the colostomy stoma for you, th...

I am burnt out as well.. I work as a full-time cna and part time student always on the go either to work, school or back home to sleep and repeat . I lost the drive as well and im only 6 months in (15 more to go) but just remind yourself that youve g...

I work NOC shift and Every friday i work 2300-0530 and get to clinical by 0630 and stay til 1900, then after clinical i go back to work again 2300-0700. I guess you could say im getting burnt out quick..(reason for wanting to get med aide certified) ...

Anyone have any reccomendations? Im currently a working cna thinking of taking a medication aide course. Which one will beneifit more as a nurse? And will i be taking a pay cut as a med aide?? Please help, I dont wanna waste money on the course if it...

You can't really prepare. It is very different being home and staying up 24 hours and being at work for 8-16 hours. I used to begin my shift by having a nice hot cup of coffee every night and it definitely worked for me but I started drinking less to...

I am ****** off and looking to get some opinions. I work full time in skilled nursing 11-7 shift on a 4-2 schedule and I drive 50 miles to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1800-2300 and Saturdays from 0630-0700. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I get o...

The census is 20 and on my hall only 1 resident/ 10 uses the call light and she doesn't abuse it. I know nurses are busy but if you have Time to check Facebook all night, you have time to help especially when our don expects nurses to answer call lig...

I didn't say I was entiltled to any special treatment and I know the don is in charge and whatever he says goes. And obviously it doesn't matter if I've been there 8 months or not but I meant to say I am permanent and usually employers accommodate st...

Sleep!

Trinityschoolofnursing.com - 5 weeks full time 3 months part-time . No homework and it was easy ! I believe program costs $1499

Tuition is $31,000 and I received $10,000 in financial aid, $1,500 in tuition reimbursement (work) so in the end I am paying about $18-19k all inclusive (books,uniform, etc.)

Make sure to include a well written resume that will make you stand out! It took me less than 3 weeks to get called for an interview and hired on the spot good luck!

I have a resident from reminiscence who was readmitted to skilled nursing and unfortunately, this time she is on my side:eek: . She is very difficult to deal with even just to take her vitals she freaks out! Anyone have any tips or techniques to get ...

You didnt hit a soft spot, it irks me because i know i do a damn good job taking care of these residents, if i didnt my residents would have bed sores by now, and they dont. I do more than i have to, and my residents appreciate me, thats all that mat...

I understand that your shift is busy but who's stopping you from working NOC ? You chose that shift and i chose noc .well if you feel that you have so much to do, the hardest part about NOC is staying up, and that's why people don't work NOC unless t...

Thanks Amac I will look into that school, I spoke to them before and it is a bit pricey but we will see what numbers they throw at me this time. I tried Simi Valley Adult School but the LVN program has been discontinued with them and CCI has bad revi...

Oh by the way the time frame is kinda messed up it doesn't take an hour to read the daily log or whatever. there is a lot of down time and we can be sitting for 2 hours straight. some nights we go without call lights. ( just to be clear) :)

Wow... sounds like your facility is busy ! I hope you get paid well for what you do! I also work 11-7 but it is nothing compared to your work! 2300- Initial in the resident book who you will be taking care of for the night/ read daily log. Usually 2 ...

Sunrise was once owned by Mariott before, that is why their facilities look like hotels! it's a very nice facility because the people that live there pay lots of money (no medicare residents). Turnover is not very high until they recently changed the...

During my clinical at a 99 bed facility, I hated going back too. It smelled every morning terribly, residents were treated poorly, and it was an overall bad facility. Now that I am working for a company that only takes residents with private insuranc...

I was working for them but not for long until the company got bought out. I am a CNA but my night nurse said they pay better than other places because she drives about 1 hour to work. All employees are treated good, been working about a month and lov...

If anyone has any experience with any LVN schools in Ventura county please share :)
