  1. Med Pass

    Lovely_RN replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Lovely_RN replied to Bklyngurl's topic in New York Nursing

    Those three hospitals are highly sought after as places of employment by many nurses in NYC. They can afford to be choosy because they have no shortage of applicants for their facilities. There are...

    Lovely_RN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  4. Experienced LPNs give a newbie LPN some tips!

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks Bayou, Yes, this place does run through a lot of people so I guess the nurses probably think I will likely leave soon too. The thing is that if they gave people a half way decent orientation...

  5. The field of Nursing is wicked to CENAs..the ugly side no one talks about

    Lovely_RN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that it's because the OP is in RN school. I think people like that "wicked LPN" can be found in almost any work environment. The difference is that most other work environments are...

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Lovely_RN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I believe you too Ms. NA. People find it so very hard to believe stories like yours but I have experienced this type of treatment and have seen it with my own two eyes. All nurse's do not act the way...

    Lovely_RN replied to Marina222's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I sent out my resume before I took my boards and I got 4 callbacks. The thing is that most facilities will not hire GPNs you gotta get your license first. Once I could prove that I passed boards it...

  10. Experienced LPNs give a newbie LPN some tips!

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Orientation is going Ok, nothing more than that. So far i'm feeling like eh it's alright but it sure ain't nothing to write home about. A few things that are annoying me. First example: I'm learning...

  11. Lpn - Rn

    Lovely_RN replied to Marina222's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you go to a college to get your RN none of your credits will be transfered. If you go to a nursing school to get your ADN (Hopfer or Helene Fuld) after one year of working experience you will...

    Lovely_RN replied to pddk87's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  16. Which had you rather do?

    Lovely_RN replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    You have to pick your schedule based on your personal needs and what you are capable of. I work 3-11pm because I have to be available in the AM to get the kids off to school. I don't mind staying up...

  21. LPN's are giving IV Meds?

    Lovely_RN replied to riverrose's topic in General Students

    Wow the LPN scope of practice really varies by state. Thank goodness that I don't live in Nebraska it seems like an LPN is just a CNA with a bit more education. LPNs in NY do not have assessment...

    Lovely_RN replied to pat8585's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Lovely_RN replied to hair_tie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
