  1. got into transition scared to death about failing.

    lovedijah replied to textucker's topic in LPN to RN

    Med Surg is Med Surg. You'll learn a bit more. Things will be more in depth (One would think). But Med Surg is Med Surg. You already have a foundation! Take it one day at a time like you did LPN...

  2. Lpn rate of pay in Georgia?

    lovedijah replied to Nursebetty2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Im in Georgia now and make 16/hr as a new grad. This tends to be average unless you have tons of experience or work in prisons or home health. Oddly enough, my family may move back to NJ after being...

  3. Are you bored at work?

    lovedijah posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Would you rather be bored or busy for the same amount of pay? I left a very busy LTC facility to go to a very very slow facility. I make the same amount of money. The most I have is two patients vs...

  4. Georgia board of nursing

    lovedijah replied to xoamieelou's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry it's taking so long. We have a lot of Florida nurses come over at my job. I've heard of a 2-3 month wait. What state is your license

  5. Georgia board of nursing

    lovedijah replied to xoamieelou's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I ended up calling everyday until my issue was resolved. Eventually you'll get lucky and someone will help. I ended up being put in contact with someone and all I had to do was email her all my...

  6. Just an LPN...

    lovedijah replied to addylpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I tend to get the "Oh, you're just an LPN" from non medical people. I'm always like, "What do you do for a living?". Then I'll ask them if they plan on getting another degree. Shuts them right up. I...

  7. 2013 LPN PAY???

    lovedijah replied to taylynnfree's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I make 15 an hour in GA. Got my license in September. I work in a facility with MR clients. Really interesting to see what others make and

  8. One day of orientation

    lovedijah posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got hired PRN in LTC. Originally the DON told me I'd be orienting for two weeks because it is "soooo much work" and "I don't like to be called in, so you need to know whats going on and how to...

  9. Job hopping?

    lovedijah posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just looking for advice. I'm an LPN. Graduated in August, passed boards and started working in September. I was lucky to get a job offer before school was over. My job waited almost 2 months for me to...

  10. I never expected....

    lovedijah replied to dsb_fam's topic in General Students

    I was doing post partum rotations. I love babies. So to some extent I was in lalala land when the mother handed me the baby to hold. So I'm holding the baby content as can be and the mother says, "Has...

  11. Nursing specialty that requires minimum patient contact and best hours?

    lovedijah replied to tsipareht's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in a non medical facility for people with mental disabilities. You definately deal with patients, but not in a traditional way. Most can do their own ADL's. There is MRSA, hepatitis and all...

  12. Something not right

    lovedijah replied to KRSLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'll be honest, I'm not sure being an LPN is "worth it" in certain areas. And heck, I'm an LPN. Some of my classmates graduated only to find jobs making $10 an hour. I made more money than that...

  13. Hold ups at GA BON

    lovedijah posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    Has anyone recently went through the process of getting licensed or can anyone offer input? I passed my boards and still have yet to get my license. The only thing "pending" on my application is my...

    lovedijah replied to lovedijah's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I randomly checked today and it was posted! I'm

    Yay!! Im holding on to hope it'll post soon so I can start

    lovedijah replied to lovedijah's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nothing

  17. Looking for the not so typical LPN job

    lovedijah replied to SDALPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was looking for "not so typical jobs" as well. There are some insurance companies that hire LPN's to do life insurance physicals. I had one done and it's drawing blood and vital signs and he may...

  18. Hold ups at GA BON

    lovedijah replied to lovedijah's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I really do think they are behind. We graduated the first week of August and some people still don't have their ATT from my class. And nobody who passed boards has their license yet. I called...

  19. No previous healthcare related work

    lovedijah replied to RegenerativeNurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Are you sending your resume? If you've applied to 50 jobs without a callback, have someone take a look at your resume. It could be worded odd or hard to understand. Are you talking up your clinical...

  20. My heart calls for a Nursing Home

    lovedijah replied to EsmeNurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm curious where you live. It's interesting how things are different place to place. Where I live, nursing homes will take new grads the day their license posts. Sorry I can't offer anymore advice....

  21. RN License plate

    lovedijah replied to esrun00's topic in General Nursing

    I would never get a license plate that broadcasted my profession. Then again, I would never get a "Half my heart is in Afghan" or "Proud Air Force Wife" bumper sticker and my husband and his service...

  22. What to do about talkers!

    lovedijah replied to Mainergal2000's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm a naturally quiet person. Yet still, when classmates would have their own private conversations I was quick to say in a roundabout way "I WISH I COULD HEAR THE TEACHER" in a joking way, and it...

  23. Ready to be a nurse

    lovedijah replied to black princess's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If money and time is no issue, then get your BSN. If you are wanting to work as a nurse ASAP, I'd be a little curious as to what your board of nursing would say. I wonder if they would let you take...

  24. How long did it take you to land your first job?

    lovedijah replied to Sessa RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was offered a job in July. I graduated in August. Really though, I was in the right place.. at the right time. I filled out many other applications and heard nothing

  25. Nclex PN

    lovedijah replied to Stoogesfan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I really feel like you will never be "ready". 21 days from now. 50 days from now. I took the Nclex PN yesterday and even If I had 50 more days to study, I wouldn't have studied anything that appeared...
