Agree 100%! I couldn't do my job without my CNAs!

Interviewing while pregnant. Just hoping for some input here. Has anyone had experience with this? Heard of anyone or you yourself having trouble getting a job while pregnant? I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. :)

I'm not pregnant. I am working in LTC right now, graduated a little over a year ago and I'm looking to go somewhere else. I was also thinking of baby #3. Just nervous about interviewing while pregnant though. I'm worried that would work against me.

I have been working in LTC for almost a year now, started there as a new grad. It honestly was on the bottom of my list, but the first place after months of applying that gave me a chance. Im thankful for that. I don't mean that to sound offensive, I...

Made me cringe! :/ ehhh!

Sorry I hit send too soon. lol Didn't get to proof read or finish... I think that pretty much summed my story up. Just something to consider when making your decision. Good luck! :)

I second sweetpea. Get your BSN if you can. Im cant speak for Texas, but when I went to school for my ADN here there was no talk of "needing" a BSN unless you planned to do management. Here I am a few years later and most hospitals in my area, includ...

Trying to make a long story short... I worked at a hospital as a PCT for many years. Had wonderful reviews, good attendance, ect. I was/ still am (years later) in love with that place! The last few months of my employment I had lost 3 family member...

Pneumo, I think you're right. There must be some reason I am where I am. I'm working in LTC now...just trying to make the best of it. It's just REALLY, REALLY hard sometimes! lol

Thanks! I'll try calling Monday.

Thank you all fur your responses! I hope I'm just being paranoid. Bec, I didn't realize I could call HR and ask why I wasn't chosen. We did have a couple speakers come in during school to talk about applying and getting jobs, but they never mentioned...

Hi all. I have been a member for a while and have come here to research things and such. I recently got my first RN job in the end of October in a ltc facility. I had 2 weeks of training and have been on my own for about a month and a half. Yeste...

It has been about a month since my post here and I just wanted to update everyone. When I went in the Monday following my error my ADON approached me and asked about the error asked if I knew how it happened, how to prevent it from happening again, ...

Hi all! I come to you once again despirate for advice. I am a new nurse, and have been working in a LTC facility for 2 months now and I AM MISERABLE! I had 10 days of training, 20 residents (at the least) to care for, I could go on and on with wha...

Thanks all for your responses. I am just making the best of what I have right now. I've decided that I'm not going to do anything that I'm not comfortable doing alone (like some things for the first time) I'm going to be safe, slow down and breathe...

Thank you all for your responses! I think I just need some time. I know you all know where I am coming from when I say that I have worked SO hard to get here and then to mess up in such a short amount of time is just heart breaking! I'm so glad yo...

Wow! This has been such a blessing today! Thank you SO, SO much for sharing this! I made my first med error yesterday and I have been "just sick" (No pun intended) about it! I have been trying to talk myself out of all the thoughts of quiting and...

I apologize for my post being so long, I just had to get this off my chest and look for some advice!

Thanks for all your responses! Everything is so stressful just starting out and figuring out all the rules and relations, and procedures!

Ok, so a school buddy and I both jobs at different retirement communities and she was telling me today that she was spit on by a resident that received chemo yesterday (tiny droplet she thinks) So she continued to tell me that she had gloves on, but ...

Really? That makes sense, guess I just assumed they meant all bodily fluids in school. Good to know. When you are exposed what should you do? Just wash with soap and water? My faculty hasn't educated us on anything like this.

Sorry, spell check got me. lol We got jobs at the same time, different places and she didn't bother to wash it off.

Ok, I have been applying for positions (probably over 100 easily now) for the last 2 months since passing the NCLEX and getting my ADN. Big hospitals, rural hospitals, prisons, nursing homes, behavioral health facilities, assisted living facilities,...

Ok, for the last 2 years I have been focusing on school and caring full time for a family member in home who needs total care. I have experience with g-tubes, med administration, and insulin monitoring and injections. I want to include this experie...

Ok, so my resume says professional experience...which I would think could include Non-paid positions like this, but when filling out applications and it asks for work experience would it be inappropriate list this there? Does work experience insinua...
