I went to LVN school in Southern California about 10 years ago and my first clinical site was pretty much the same as your experience. We had lunch at a nearby sushi place who didn't mind if some of us brought our own food and kept our belongings in ...

Whatever you do, please don't send pizza!

None of these products caused a world-wide pandemic. We are treading in much deeper waters here (regarding Covid-19) and as such our actions and words have much greater consequence, literally and figuratively.

It's in alphabetical order ?.

Are you hiring?

No testing of staff whatsoever in Southern California hospital. Two thirds of our patients are covid positive and we have been working out of ratio for at least a week. And yes, some of my fellow nurses continue to travel like the world isn't succumb...

I work med surg tele with ratio of 1:4 and more often than not have covid patients on heated high flow or oxymizer. It really is unnerving to have one on both high flow and the non rebreather though.

In my SoCal hospital we can't test for either of these in the absence of symptoms.

Got my LVN in 2012 and my RN in 2017; 39 years old. Prior to nursing I worked in marketing:/

They also didn't wash their hands in 1333.

I'd say that is pretty standard.

At least they asked and didn't just pretend to understand.

I continued to work in SNF after getting my RN so that I could be "picky" about my next place of employment, i.e. relatively better benefits/pay and day shift schedule. It took about 18 months and hundreds of applications to achieve this, but I made ...

More like Gen X; this happened almost 20 years ago. I am confident that a person of Gen Z age group was not directly affected by an event from 2001.

... Something outside of my scope.

I am in virtually the same situation. Submitted full app online May 15th. Received letter requesting that I resubmit fingerprints. 2nd Livescan sent May 30th. I made a complaint to DCA via email and got the same response: They are currently processin...

I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I am wondering if this is at all related to wait time for authorization to test. I applied May 16th, graduated May 25th, and registered / paid PearsonVue June 6th. Most of my cohort has received their ATT, and ...

Me too!

I am 36 years old. Nursing is my 2nd career; in my former life I worked in marketing/advertising. I have been working as an LVN since 2012 in several specialties. 3 weeks ago I completed my ADN; just waiting for my ATT...

I'll play... Anabolic and Catabolic.

I second this advice. And you are fortunate to have attended a school that utilized HESI. My LVN education was all HESI, and was all I used to study for the boards; I passed at 85 ?s. I will add that you should schedule the test for no more than 4 we...

From working in pediatric PDN, I learned that suspensions/compounds are far pricier than their "typical" (and able to be repackaged) solid forms. You can order it, but whether or not insurance/Medicare will cover is the real question here. Liquid A...
