I was wondering about a public drunkness charge I got walking home. I was not driving cause I knew better but they still got me and I was only a mile from home. Now I am worried about my lpn license and background checks. Please help? Will it affect me?

I was just needing to vent so here goes. I have not been well this winter with everything from bronchitis, to er visit with back spasm and arthritis in hip. I am 51 years old and work at a nursing home here in my hometown. I have had to miss some nights at work but have had doctor's statements. Everytime i have had to miss, my boss has been very hateful about it, hung up on me or made some hateful comment about it. Well i went to the doctor today, worked Friday night with 103 temp, and was miserable. I was off Saturday and Sunday, and finally got to see a doctor today, and she put me off again for two more days. She said i didnt have the flu, but i have all the flu like symptoms. She gave me a shot of rocephin and a z pack. I called work, and as usual my boss was mad. I didnt think one was suppose to be around nursing home patients sick and carrying a fever. Is this something that has changed or what. I was told if you are sick stay home, maybe times have changed.

You must live in a different area then i do, they are weaning LPN's out. If you are a CNA, MA, or an RN you have it made when it comes to jobs.

Dont do the LPN program. I have been an LPN for 20 years and got laid off when the doctor's office moved to another county. Now, i can not even get a job with that much experience. Go on for the RN program. I wish i had years back.
