Could a DON please input on something for me? There was a nurse at my facility who thought a 100mcg duragesic patch was missing she checked the wrong patient and ordered another. She left without saying it was "missing" in report. Everyone else in th...

So I just got a job requiring white scrub pants and scrub tops with white on them. What are the best scrub pants that won't show my underwear? Thank you!!

Hey guys I have an offer for a jail job through a staffing company and I was wondering does anyone have an experience to share about it? I'm currently in LTC and want something else field wise. Thanks!

Our supervisor went behind the nurse still looking at the wrong patient and agreed it was missing. The PCP was called to ask if we could apply a new patch. Shift change happens and no patch was reported missing. The doctor called back informing the n...

Thinking of moving I was told LVN employment in CA is high? I have 6 months experience in LTC between our SNF and our rehab unit. Idc where I would work. Thinking of San Francisco area. Any ideas?!

It would be with my mom so luckily I'm not concerned about that. So California is becoming a mainly RN state?

I have family down there who I can stay with until I do find something. Are they wanting 1 year + experience in California? I do something's pretty independently j-tube wise and IV wise.

I have never stayed hours but an hour after my shift yes. Sometimes it is charting. I have 30 residents to myself. No med tech no other nurse. Only 2 CNAs too. It is crazy. Mainly though it's charting or if something happens. Giving report. Taking in...

I had a girl I went to nursing school with who made a similar mistake she simply would lie about the experience and after a few years no one would call. I am not sure if this is what you want to hear but I hope it helps!

Sometimes it is. I work at a LTC facility and I float between our 4 wings. My first wing LOVE it. The nurse was great at making sure I knew what was up and when I messed up the narc count she was wonderful. On another unit the nurse is ridiculous. Sh...

First off. I would like to state I was CNA before becoming an LPN. I currently work 3-11 during day shift there there is a nurse 4 CNAs, one med tech, and a restorative aide. During my shift there are 2 CNAs and me. I'm experiencing tons of complaina...

I feel exactly the same way. I have been working at a SNF for 3 months. I am a new grad. I enjoyed LTC during clinical but I had a hard time with death and didn't think I could handle it. I originally only took this job bc my husband and I needed the...

So I have just gone from a 1st shift job to a second shift one. I need some help. It has messed with my eating and sleeping. I'm going to be on this shift for some time, you have to stay 90 days in a shift before switching. I get home close to midnig...

Hey y'all I'm a new LPN grad with a few months experience in mental health. I'm going to interview for home health for a better schedule to go back to school for my RN. I have heard from my clinical instructor that LPNs tend to have less responsibili...

I am a new grad nurse with my first job in a LTC setting working 2nd shift though I am the only nurse on my hall. I find it soooo hard to go ahead and get meds around when everyone seems to be on Narcs. I know I shouldn't but sometimes I sign them ou...

I personally suffer from anorexia/bulimia. I have been in recovery for years but I also have severe anxiety. So if some problems from home follow me to work I do have a panic attack.

I'm in KY as a new grad at 16hr and weekends 20/hr I'm in LTC

Hey I just graduated LPN schools and debating the pay and time schedule between a mental hospital and a home health agency.

Hey I posted this in the speciality corner however no one responded. Can anyone give me an idea about home health? I'm currently in mental Health I have heard there are no weekend or holiday and the pay works if you have a gas efficient vehicle. Plea...

Hey y'all I have a question I was wondering if y'all could answer. I'm starting LPN school in two weeks. The receptionist said after December I'll be ready to take my test to be a CNA. Is this something I could maybe do a month before? I'm really loo...

Thanks for all the help! What is the base pay an hour for a CNA?

PA. The school coordinator said I would be ready to take my test after our first round of clinicals.
