  1. Nurses Enjoy LTC

    Juwon posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I hear so many complaints about Long Term Care Nursing such as the patient load, having to take shortcuts in order to leave on time, and feeling like a pill pusher, etc, I was wondering does any...

  2. shorter time, bigger debt...smaller debt, longer time

    Juwon replied to i_luv2_care2013's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that it depends on the job market in your area. Personally, in my area LPNs and RN new grads can find work relatively quickly. You can make a nice buck as a LPN while going back to school...

  3. The weekly addition to the workload...

    Juwon replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    I understand how u feel. I'm not a nurse but i hear this from family and friends who are nurses. The higher ups view nurses as a dime a dozen and when they feel they can suck one dry with the...

  4. What is in your opinion the best shift for new nurses to work?

    Juwon replied to gatoraims RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think 3-11 is the best shift in terms of learning. You get familiar with admits, discharges and more skillful with med passes in the LTC on this shift. I think that 11-7 is a little more relaxed...

    I think you already know the answer to that question, based off your other posts, and post periods about California and

  6. How much did you owe in loans after earning your BSN?

    Juwon replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with litchi, go to a cheap community college and take all of your pre-reqs and then transfer to a university to get your bachelor's degree, preferably a state school since they tend to be...

  7. What cities hire new RN grads?

    Juwon replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think physician assistant school is a nice alternative to nursing. Great pay, collaborate with doctors and nurses alike, plus they are in demand. You can get a bachelors, masters or an associates as...

  8. Is it harder to find a job as an RN with an ADN only than with a BSN? (San Francisco)

    Juwon replied to guevarrar's topic in California Nursing

    Lol telling it like it is. If i see another question regarding employment in Cali I'm gonna go crazy. OP, Cali have a surplus of nurses, EMTs, Paramedics, etc. They also have one of the highest...

  9. Wilderness first responder?

    Juwon replied to thepinkdictator's topic in General Nursing

    The more knowledge is always better, but they do have wilderness emergency medical tech programs that are like a semester long. Its pretty interesting and intense. Shows you what to do in rural areas...

  10. LPN or Medical Assistant

    Juwon replied to peppapig123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Even more, not trying to center around money, but i have never known of a medical assistant to clear over six figures a year, but i do know LPNs who have done so, usually average 60 to 70 thousand a...

  13. What else can I do with a LPN degree besides working @ bedside?

    Juwon replied to GoosbyLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know a few lpns that refuses to work bedside. They have years of experience and work long term as a wound care nurse, infection control nurse, MDS, or

  14. LPN or Medical Assistant

    Juwon replied to peppapig123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hands down lpn, I am not biased. More opportunities, more room for advancement, better pay. There is a variety of jobs for lpns. You can work hospital if some still hire but that's few and far...

  15. LPN starting pay $26.50!

    Juwon replied to mustbegood's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Chicago suburbs, LPN starting pay is $27.75 and they are always hiring for nurses, due to the location, 30 minutes from the city, but the facility is in a nice

  17. random ED interview question i got asked

    Juwon replied to Skylar86's topic in Emergency

  18. the unemployed new grad survey

    Juwon replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Couldnt have said it any better. Most new grads feel they are entitled to a hospital position, as if it is the only way to go. You have to go into other areas of nursing in order to gain experience if...

  21. non-rebreather vs oxymask

    Juwon replied to thelema13's topic in Emergency

    From what I learned in emt school, they are different. A nonrebreather mask has a third, one way valve on the top of the mask to constrict the patient from rebreathing their own air. This is important...

  24. The frightening ignorance of teens having babies

    Juwon replied to ShariDCST's topic in Ob/Gyn

    in my opinion, you cant so much blame the children. Parents need to do their jobs as well and raise their children and actually teach them right from wrong. I am glad I got a mother who preaches to me...
