Ok, so currently I work as a mobile therapeutic apheresis nurse. The hours are great but I'm getting tired of the traveling. I'm having a hard time paying my bills due to massive credit card debt so I decided that I would try to donate plasma to make...

Oh, I'm sorry! I'm still new at posting regularly. I wasn't aware that you moderate.

If you read the entire thread, you will see that I posted about my non-clinical nursing job with great hours and no pt contact. I wasn't just posting to write about poopy talk, I was just speculating. I'm not one to start waves...and I did read what ...

Ya know, maybe instead of "the rapist" op meant to have it look like "therapist" backwards :-D

I have the E-go V-V2 with a Kanger tank....I absolutely LOVE it! I'd vape on the way to the hospital (while I was still working bedside) and the pts never complained about me smelling like smoke. Also, I feel better vaping. I had a cigarette the othe...

I've been an LPN since 2007, started out in ALF/Long term care, worked my way into Therapeutic Apheresis from 2009-02/2013, now I'm in Specialty Pharmacy counseling oncology pts on their oral chemotherapy medications, and answering questions about si...

Lots of on call and stress, but with mileage reimbursement, on call pay, hourly pay, and shift differential if I got called out, I was making near $66,000/year in Florida as an LPN.

Well, sorry...it was such a whirlwind while I was there. Yes, we did check the NDDR as soon as the new donor came through the door. They have to be able to read because they are required to pass written test on high risk behavior knowledge. And no, t...

Mostly the donors. I'm a caring person, and it was so disconcerting that we had people who were so careless about their health and obviously donating just for the money. Also, my feet hurt so bad by the time got home, I was almost in tears. They had ...

Oh my. Where to begin? I lasted for 6 months in a plasma center recently. Thank goodness I found an awesome job at a pharmaceutical company counseling specialty medication patients. Ok, well at first you have to learn to screen donors. Just BP, pulse...

I've been a Therapeutic Apheresis nurse for 3 years. Are you going to be working in an outpatient apheresis center or doing therapeutics in the hospital? If you are doing therapeutics in the hospital, the job will offer probably some form of flexabil...

I meant more along the lines of positive thinking. I know thing's don't always turn out okay. To me, there is always a light of hope. I have noticed in the course of my life, that if you think positively, most of the times things work out...I'm not ...

My twin and I were born at 23 weeks gestation in 1984. We both survived and are completely healthy. My twin unfortunately developed ROP and now is completely blind. She has had her right eye removed due to severe glaucoma and can't see anything out o...

I live in Deltona. Don't rent a house here...it's not the best of places to live. Anyway, It is not illegal to attend 2 colleges as far as I know. I am doing my pre-req's for my RN bridge right now at DSC and am going to transfer to Valencia to atten...

I worked at a BSL community in Central Florida for a year and a half. I was the evening LPN with 40-something residents and two CNA's to watch over. I really liked it...however the marketing director LOVED to admit total care residents! I'm talking t...

The last job I had before my current one was at an ALF. I was the only LPN on the 3-11 shift with 2 CNA's and 42 residents. It was great until the marketing director started admitting residents that should have NOT been admitted. Like the violent alz...

Hi Everyone, Just a quick question? Has anyone ever heard of an IV pump/warmer integrated into one unit? Or does the warmer always come separately?

Thnks guys! I was thinking of inventing something like an integrated iv pump/warmer, with the option to either have warming or no warming! I think it would be great when you need to do a rapid fluid bolus or hang blood:) Don't steal my idea, hehehe:p...

I knew before the first sentence of your posting was finished that you work in Central Florida! I work around 45 minutes away from Orlando, so I know that there are only a few hospital options that you could be talking about. I think we have worked a...

Thanks for the link qwertyf! My interview is this Wednesday! Please let me know how your first day went! I think I'll thrive at a plasma donation center not only because I'm great at assessments but I also have 2 years of experience with therapeutic ...

Hi! I attended DSC's (Previoulsy DBCC) part time LPN program from 2005-2007. It was the best ever! Lecture was very thorough and clinicals were very detailed. The faculty and staff had compassion for teaching nursing and making sure everyone understo...

I have been an LPN for 4 years now. I work for a mobile apheresis company and travel to treat pts at many different hospitals. We are on call every two weeks, 24 hours a day for a week straight. I am able to pretty much make my own schedule, go in wh...

I worked L&D and Postpartum as a CNA 5 years ago and I looooved it! In L&D, you don't have to do vitals on the moms because they are already hooked up to a monitor. You basically do comfort care and pass trays. After the baby is born, you hel...

Yea, I'm scared as well. I'm going to the doctor on Monday to see if i have anxiety and depression issues. If I do, do I have to report it to my boss? I've been an LPN for 4 years.
