    New grad LPN job offer

    I would say excitement! You will learn so much in both specialties but generally the bigger healthcare systems will offer more as far as advancement. Generally they are easier to transfer within departments (if you would want to change to a different...

    Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    I am an LPN and I live in upstate NY. I know that one of the hospitals here is giving bonuses to current employees if they refer an RN to the company who gets hired. I heard they are doing this because they are in such desperate need for RN's. I know...

    eliminating the LPN role ?

    I'm not sure where you are currently but I am in upstate NY. Where I am, LPN's are very much in demand. They don't have enough experienced nurses to keep up with the demand. The reason I have seen them hire RN's in the office is to triage (as it is ...

    LVN Burnout

    I have been experiencing this too but I have only been an LPN for two years!!! I questioned nursing, and decided to stay in it and push on. There are so many different options with nursing that I feel you need to find where you belong. I recently lef...

    Will it get better?

    Let me just start out by saying I have been an LPN for about a year and a half. The first job I got was in a clinic that I did really enjoy. However, two weeks into the job one nurse got fired, and three months in, the other nurse moved. I was the on...

    Does this sound like I'm hired?

    I agree with above posters. They would not waste money drug screening all candidates and getting PPD's placed if they weren't seriously considering those people. Good luck!

    How much orientation did you get as a new grad Lvn?

    I was told I would be with a preceptor for 12 weeks but that didn't happen. Two weeks into when I started, a nurse left so I couldn't have my preceptor with me since she was busy tending to other patients. (I work in a clinic). Luckily I picked every...
