  1. Dropped pills

    LVN2RNMom replied to mandaaRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I wouldn't have documented it & as Stargazer has said, where would you document such an event? It has happened several times at my psych facility & it has never been a big deal. I usually pick...

  2. How do you stay positive about your career?

    LVN2RNMom replied to Jw1724's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a job that doesn't have "set" schedules unless you get a job at a clinic or Dr's office. Other than that this is what you signed up for. There are plenty of nurses who would trade places...

  3. Stressed and Depressed

    LVN2RNMom replied to UpTheLadder12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in So Cal & it is extremely tough. My 1st job as an LVN (6 yrs working as a NCMA about 17 yrs ago & 12 yrs health ins co background) was with Maxim as a temp. Call them NOW as it is...

  4. PearsonVue Trick?

    LVN2RNMom replied to abishua's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There are tons of posts already on this web site regarding the trick. For me it worked in 2011. Good

  5. LPN Student needs advice

    LVN2RNMom replied to maddiesmommy0204's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There is plenty to read on this site about many LVN's & RN's who are having a hard time finding jobs. This is regardless if new grad or experienced. The more restrictions you place on finding a...

  6. The nurses every co-worker hates

    LVN2RNMom replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For sure!!!!! I am one the most honest & out right people out there but many don't know how to handle it. The way I see it is, if you are a negative individual then you will seek the negative out....

  7. The nurses every co-worker hates

    LVN2RNMom replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry I got cut off. I just hope you don't take it personally. Just try to soften up a little & initiate a hello here or there. The opinions others have on you, truly don't matter. Business is...

  8. The nurses every co-worker hates

    LVN2RNMom replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Aw, I feel for you...you know yourself best. If you are wanting & looking to soften yourself up a little, I think that is ok but changing what is good in you isn't ok. With that being said, you...

  9. When does a nurse recognize it's time to be put out to pasture.

    LVN2RNMom replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    Only you can truly answer what you believe you can handle. There are other things you can do as a nurse other than bedside or direct care. You can work at an insurance co as a medical review nurse,...

  10. Not sure what to do. Licensed RN working as tech.

    LVN2RNMom replied to Spikey9001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    IMO this sounds like a bad place to be in. If they wanted you, they would hire you point blank. If you are working as a tech yet you are a Registered Nurse this can definitely put you in a bad...

  11. A little nervous ....

    LVN2RNMom replied to ArmyWyfe's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I took the NCLEX I found a $8 app to use on my phone. I use it to review every now &

  12. I feel like everybody hates being a nurse!!!

    LVN2RNMom replied to hershdawg's topic in General Nursing

    Your love for nursing will probably depend on your decision to becoming a nurse. I waited nearly 20 yrs to follow my dreams of helping others unselfishly. I was on my own at 18 yrs old & my...

  13. Is it my obligation to translate?

    LVN2RNMom replied to AngLVN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You aren't wrong to feel as you do. I am half Hispanic & half caucasian yet raised caucasian. There are many jobs that I couldn't even apply too because I am not bilingual. I do speak basic...

  14. STILL NO JOB

    LVN2RNMom replied to Bigmaine33's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The best advice I can give you is to apply everywhere & anywhere. Go as far as you are willing to drive & go out of your comfort zone. My 1st LVN job was thru a temp agency doing the flu shot...

  15. What kind of job is this?

    LVN2RNMom replied to Jillybean48's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Loriangel 14 is correct. You would be an

  16. Certifications for an LPN

    LVN2RNMom replied to Arandelle's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Start by contacting your LPN school or your closest community college. I am IV Certified & I obtained this cert from my LVN school. Also you can do a Google search for schools near

  17. My anger

    LVN2RNMom replied to antesignani's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had different resumes too but each are 1 pg long. That's it!! That is all you need to capture a hiring managers attention, so you can get an

  18. My anger

    LVN2RNMom replied to antesignani's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just a thought but is it possible your classmates knew someone at these facilities? I felt very similar as you mention with some of my classmates. I found out that one of our clinical teachers from...

  19. Anyone else have a problem with this ad?

    LVN2RNMom replied to rawlinz's topic in General Nursing

    LOL....I am thinking this ad will actually do the program more harm than good. By looking at the ad it doesn't make me want to sign up. I just think desperate. As for the outfit, I am LOL literally as...

  20. Random drug tests

    LVN2RNMom replied to roreyn02's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Funny how we are all nurses yet I see so many here on AN that have forgotten their theraputic communication skills. Any nurse questioning anything should be able to come here & ask whatever they...

  21. I don't think I want to be a nurse anymore...how about RT?

    LVN2RNMom replied to mamaxmaria's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely admire you for coming out to say it. I see many nurses who are miserable that are in it for all the wrong reasons. It sounds like you already know the answer & the last poster is...

  22. Difficulty transitioning from LPN to RN?

    LVN2RNMom replied to ashleyr34's topic in LPN to RN

    I am a working LVN and I have actually been told the opposite from friends who are RN's. Now it may be easier for an LVN who is currently working but I have approximately 19 yrs of medical exp (6 yrs...

  23. Random drug tests

    LVN2RNMom replied to roreyn02's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I honestly think this was a good question. I am sure there are others who are afraid to ask. From my knowledge, 2nd hand mj smoke won't be picked up during a UDS. If I were you, I would ask him to...

  24. Got My Dream Job!

    LVN2RNMom replied to rena86's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I love hearing these stories!! Money is not everything & can not buy you happiness.

  25. Need help please...

    LVN2RNMom replied to sistasoul's topic in General Nursing

    Davey Do is correct but it doesn't mean some employers don't try otherwise. There are specific laws that prevent employers from giving out information about write ups or giving too detailed...
