I am a LPN. If you are looking for the scope of practice for a LPN, try going to www.tennessee.gov, and then following the links to get to the nursing forum to find it. I can tell you what all I do but this might be more beneficial. If I can be any ...

Hi all! Just a quick question. I am a LPN from TN; I recently moved to Nashville and have taken a position on a Medical Floor. I finished up the initial orientation today, and finally on Monday I get to go to my floor, for yet more orientation. But, ...

Hi, I just moved to Nashville, I am a new LPN, only been licensed since last Sept. I applied at Centennial, Vanderbilt, Skyline, Southern Hills, St. Thomas, and Baptist. I got hired on at St. Thomas, and start there on Monday. Can't really tell you a...

I recently took moved to Nashville, and without experience no one was calling me back either. I got discouraged, then again, I am relatively impatient and hate to not be working so what only took about one - one and a half weeks to find a job felt li...

Hi there! I am from Tennessee; I graduated in September of 04. I found that it was fairly easy to get my first job. I already worked at a hospital as a CNA, and I just began working at that same facility when I graduated. So that really doesn't count...

I worked a Geri-Psych unit before I recently moved. A lot of my patients who were severely impaired due to Alzheimer's got this medication, as their minds would not calm down enough for them to sleep at night. I have had a patient before though, have...

Hi all! I have a decision to make and am slightly torn. I have been offered a job with St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville. I can choose which floor I want to work on as they have opening on both. One is a general medicine floor and the other a renal/di...

I'm not too sure of whether it would or not. I am a LPN, but a lady from the board of nursing spoke to our nursing class while she was at our school observing or something, and one of my fellow students asked about that same thing. They hadn't a DUI,...

In that case, let it be said, that I did not work for Baptist in memphis. I worked for Baptist out of the one in Memphis, but for a VERY small facility in Ripley, TN before moving last weekend to Nashville, TN

I worked for Baptist. Right before quitting, like a month or two before, we had flyers all over our nurses stations and also a staff meeting about implementing a Medical Response Team. I can say that I've never had to use it, as I worked on a psych u...

I recently ( this past Saturday) moved to Nashville, and am having a terrible time trying to find a job in a hospital. I've talked to Centennial, Skyline, Vanderbilt, Baptist, and St. Thomas. But no one is returning my calls or calling me back after ...

After what seems like an eternity (ok, being way dramatic here) Maxim has called me back, does anyone here work for them, or know anything about them really? I just saw the opening on careerbuilder.com and applied, and to my surprise they called like...

I'm from a small town ( very small town) in West, TN. We don't even have fast food, and I am moving with my fiance on January 15 to Nashville. I have absolutely no idea where to start looking for a job at, the hospitals are huge. I have gone online a...

Thanks so much for your advice. I plan to live in Ashland City, that is where my fiance is from. It's not that I am intimidated by large hospitals, it is merely that I am from a VERY small town, and didn't know much about the hospitals in Nashville (...

I work in a hospital that requires different departments to wear different colors. The CNA's wear light blue, the nurses can either wear dark blue or white, the respiratory dept. wears light green, the lab wears dark green, etc. This way if you are n...

This is a touchy subject for me personally. I was best friends with a girl I was in nursing school with. We had worked together at the local hospital as nursing assistants, and oddly, found ourselves becoming really good friends when we entered the s...

I took the PN In September. had 85 questions, it was rough, the wait is what makes you question yourself. Be good to yourself, I just know you passed! No doubt about it.

In my opinion, I don't think tattoos make you a "nasty person". You have to have some smarts about it. I have a tattoo, and have tried to donate blood when I was in college, but could not because I am too thin and have too many health problems ( not ...

I can't really say whether it is harder or not, apparently. I'm just a LPN, BUT they asked a question and I gave the info that I knew. That's what he said, now, why he said that could be because he was an LPN first, I dunno! I just was answering the ...

Congratulations! Yay to you!

I know a guy who just took his RN boards, he was already a LPN that graduated from the program that I came out of in September. He took his RN boards, and came to tell us that he found his LPN to be harder than his RN. Because he said the RN was more...

Hi there, funny to see that someone actually knows of where my lil corner of the state is, lol, where are you from in TN exactly?

Just wanted to tell ya congratulations.... very proud of you and for you, Ms. RN!

Hi there! You are welcome for the post, I know you wil do great, I am in West TN, close to the Memphis area. Where are you from?

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any way to get nclex results faster. I took it on Wednesday of last week. I was hoping that I would hear something tomorrow or Wednesday, but a guy in my class took his last monday and he has still not h...
