RXCT

I thought at least $30. Absolutely! A new LPN can start at $27/hr & be up to $30 in no time! Try Masonicare/or most LTC facilities. Tell them what you want & you will get it with 3 weeks vacation, 2 weeks sick time, plus personal time plus, ...

That book is right...

With a COPD'er the MAX O2 delivered should be 2-3 L. No greater than 3L due to their inability to blow-off the CO2. With only one lung; that's another story and I'm guessing the O2 will now be below the2-3L mark. Once paramedics arrive, it's out of y...

Just to let you know ahead of time that so there isn't a surprise. On long term care (at Masonicare) you have 30 +/- patients. I worked LTC on a holiday to fill in and it's very busy but, most all patients are stable. Your med pass is heavy but once...

Masonicare has big $$$$ for most new LPN w/ good grades and high GPA; but, even better bene's.

$21000 in CT for evening program

Your right! They do have orientation programs and also many I've known seen to get locked in at these two city hospitals because of there continuing education program. But, do consider other hospitals as well. They also offer great pay, Insurance, 40...

I went to LPN school in CT. 22months. Very horrific. They all have criteria for entrance examinations and then we had 50 in the class & only graduated 14 because they couldn't keep the 75% passing avarge. Oh. I weent to pvt. school and it was &am...

When I left them, the next evening class wa sbeing sighed on at about $28000.

Starting is minimum $21/hr up to $25-30/hr or more w/ an agency. Most LTC use pool and and agency because nurses are limited here in CT. They don't like pool/agency because of the high$$$$$ for them. So, now pay is getting better and they tend to sta...

The bottom line is that the nurse on staff is held responsible no matter who did the wrong. I wouldn't woory about getting a "bad" mark against you, your not a nurse and your nursing license is what gets the "strike".

Actually, CT does hire LPN's in the hospital. Charlotte Hungerford, Midstate, Waterbury Hospital, St.Mary's in Waterbury, Hosp.of St.Rhea's and Bridgeport Hosp. Bridg & St. Rhea's have ad's on career builder....ER for Bridgeport Hosp. I'm an LPN ...

Here in CT you can bridge to your RN...just as you can with many on-line prgms. I would suggest going for your LPN or RN because we need more nurses with the shortage that is escalating. Even if your JUST an lpn. I'm JUST an lpn & very satisfied ...

I received about 9 days w/ a preceptor. She was very sloppy w/ her work & quick quick (because cig breaks were #1). I was glad to be let go on my own. Just remember there is always a nrsg super. in the bldg to call. You'll be fine! Good Luck

I'm not sure of your pay scale but, If you borrow that $25g it will cost about $100 a month on a gvt. loan.... Here in CT you make about $25-$30/hour as an LPN. hOpe this helps!

hi there, here in CT, private lpn school & almost $30,000 now ($25,000 when I was there)! 22 months for the schooling.

One state of CT statistic stated that by 2012, 1/2 the LPN/RN working will now be retired & the amount coming in is nowhere where it should be...like crazy amounts off....nursing is your field of work that will get you a job....but, it will dive ...

No, there isn't a big difference...the program your probably enrolled in is a state funded program (tech school)... if it wasn't good , it wouldn't exist. I went to NETI ....very $$$ but, I needed the nights & they were the only ones available. ...

hello, i know your thread is older but, can you elaborate on the "charge nurse @ ltc rehab"...what does this mean & are you in charge of the floor, aids or both? also, are you familiar w/ masonic hospital? just wondering what they start new gr...

This is very hard to believe. Iknow LPN's in CT have to get "special" cert. first. It's not part of their curic. I think the asme for RN's in CT too now!

I agree, Why did I spend almost $30,00 at LPN school when my school also offered MA pregram for 1/2 that? In retrospect...is a PA the equiv. to an MD

I remember goping school hunting & having a young rep. tell me that MA were in more demand in CT than LPN's....I thought they were full of it! It took a little searching & I found out they were really wrong/

I wrote "catty" as in tit for tat type of statement. In no way should you feel the need to have to break from discussions. I agree w/ your statement of how hard it is to display yourself & what you are trying to say. I personally talk w/ my hands...

As a neutral onlooker, this thread has been very "catty" since this morning! Why don't we all just STOP & think of what we are arguing about...our own opinions...that's all....every one can say what they want ...some get offened ...some laugh...I...

I agree w/ you. It's not meant to show any disrespect- the postee is just show us the EXTREME differences in new grad vs experienced. No harm done (look how funny the new grad is haha). good humor:balloons:
