I work here in Maryland,at Kaiser Permanente. I'm a Oncology LPN and I'm at 55,000 a year. Been pretty good to me,Yes I'm working on becoming at RN. The Lpn program wasn't a waste for me. It was very helpful. I work Mon-Friday. No weekends or holidays. I can do the non-chemo,Therapeutic Phelbotomys,Port Flushes,Pump Disconnects,IV's. Have learned a lot working here,the RNs truly appreciate having LPNs.

Was a MA 1st,enjoyed it.worked in Doctors office and good experience. The pay was ok too...decided later to become a lpn now making $26.96 a hr I couldn't work in Oncology at Kaiser Permanente without my LPN skills...I flush ports,Start IVs,Injections,Non-chemos..my next step is getting my RN...truly enjoyed being a MA,it helped me to get my LPN.

Im a LPN at Kaiser here in Oncology Baltimore,Maryland. Kaiser is a great place to work for..Management has put LPNs thru a lot of downsizing because we have CAs(Clinic Assistant) they can do some things that LPNs can do. Its probaby cheaper.Our union is fighting to keep LPNs around at this point. The CAs got a 4 week course at Kaiser and that makes them competent to be compared to a LPN...

Agreed!!!
-
You can do anything you put your mind to!!

Kaiser Permanente here in the DMV(DC,MD,VA Area are phasing LPNs out because they upgraded the Clinical to Medical Assistants...its cheaper...We are union,non for profit company...huge mistake....
-
Good advice,im 49 and working on my RN..my job has had a roller coaster of going back and forth with the lpn and we are still there.
-

I got in w them and got training thru them did lots of flu clinics at the military bases. Lots of dressing changes,wound vacs,etcs. The agency is called Brightstar... Good luck to you,I hope you find a job soon.
