Hello all! I've had my ASN for approximately a year now and while I am currently employed, I'm looking for something closer to home and that will allow me to grow in my skills. I'm getting highly discouraged because I'm getting rejected for pretty m...

So is my experience as a LPN pretty much irrelevant? I've been a nurse since 2011 but an RN since 2013

Hello all! I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I looked for a while under the "student nurse" tab and didn't find what I was looking for. Anyway, I'm an LPN to RN student and I am working on a care plan for myself in my Mental Heal...

Congrats! That's the sort of job I've been hoping for as well.

I work in LTC working every other weekend and 8 hour shifts. They'll schedule you depending on the facility's staffing needs.

Charting is a learned art, and when I was as new as you are, I was staying over that long as well. Your best bet is to chart right after something occurs. If you have 30 seconds, make a note. This will keep you from forgetting things as your shift pr...

I would not do it. Gas is too expensive for a 4 hour commute. I'm not close with my own family, so there wouldn't be anyone to watch my children. I would move if it were that important to me.

My professional profile would be nowhere near that impressive- which is obvious because you have much more experience than I have. I don't have my ASN yet and I have minimal hospital training. I worked at an LTAC facility as an agency nurse for abou...

LPN and RN scopes of practice are determined by the facility. That's why some LPNs can hang blood and others can't.

Indiana's state practice acts are pretty vague. Typically what LPNs are prohibited from doing are determined by the facilities. As a nurse in my facility, I always do the initial admission assessment. I don't do the care plan in the strictest sense o...

i was terminated from my first lpn position after 4 terrible months on the job. i didn't know what i was doing, really, and the facility i worked at chewed up and spit out new nurses. what i did first to keep money coming in was to get a job at an...

Not an RN yet- just got admitted to the program- but as an LPN, I do have some insight for you. You will find there are floor nurses who would rather you go away and leave them alone. They will resent your presence and this cannot be helped. If it be...

Ladies, I am at a loss. Since I was fired from my first job at a LTC facility, I've had massive anxiety about keeping a job and keeping enough money to take care of my kids. I worked as an agency nurse for about 2 months while I found more reliable...

You might want to look at LTC to get some experience. LTC facilities are always looking to woo RNs, the pay is pretty good, and it'll give you some patient experience.

I've already asked about orientation. I'm familiar with the facility but only because I was there as a student. The facility wants me to come in an hour before my shift Wednesday night. I asked for a shadow shift from my agency and the hour was the b...

I was let go this time last month from my LTC facility and I recently got accepted to work with a staffing agency that will be sending me frequently to a LTAC facility. My official job description is Med-Surg nurse and this is really exciting to me! ...

Thank you. I think the worst part of my experience there is that I'm leaving with my nursing confidence shattered. I know I'm capable of being a good nurse... I just don't know what that means anymore.

I graduated from my LPN program in late December and took boards in late January. I immediately got a job at a LTC facility thanks to a friend who was a new RN and UM there. I was always pretty uncomfortable in the facility- the politics overshadowed...

Oh, it was one job but two facilities on the same property. They had LTC and then across the parking lot, they had Assisted/Independent Living. Sorry I wasn't more clear. I did fulfill my 90 day probationary status, however. Should I still list this...

I took the NCLEX-PN on the 21st at 8am. I've been checking my BON obsessively all weekend and was going stir crazy, especially when I heard about other nurses having the same test day and already knowing their results. I decided to do the PVT and it ...
