Hello all! I just moved to a smaller area and now am pretty limited on my options for purchasing scrubs. I was told to try buying some online. There are tons of sites though. I am not much of an online shopper so any suggestions would be great.. Wher...

Update** I have worked at this facility since October of last year. I do like it, but there are things that could have been worded differently during the interview. Our facility is split between sides, or halls, (East and West) and then each side is ...

So I have been working in family practice since I became an LPN 3 years ago. I love it, but I hate the pay. Since my husband recently became unemployed, we have been struggling, and I started looking for a 2nd job.. I was offered a job at a local LTC...

I am currently a LPN at a LTC facility in my area. I became a nurse 3 years ago, and I love it. Nursing is amazing, and I am so glad I chose this field. I am taking my prerequisite classes to get into the RN program next spring and from there I plan ...

Thank you very much for your comment Joanna73. What sort of certifications do you have? That is why I was looking into this field, I do enjoy training and teaching new nurses and helping others when they need it.

Several of the LPNs that I know just took this exam and said that there is a lot of math and then just basic nursing questions.. I found a NACE study guide and also will be reviewing my book from the Math for Nurses class. Hopefully these tools will ...

She did state specifically that max patient to nurse ratio is 1:25 when fully staffed, and that they are not at fully capacity at the moment so it would be around 20.. I even commented on the amount of CNAs that they had working at once and she said ...

I havne't looked into it, only because I haven't heard of any listings. I occupational health but I am not sure where to look for these positions. There aren't many listings in our papers or online here.

Hello All! I have been a LPN for 3 years now. I have worked nothing but family practice. I am enrolled and working towards my RN. Due to recent situations I am looking to change jobs soon. My husband and I discussed me getting a night position somewh...

Thank you! I didn't even think about that. Working on changing that information now. And yes I try to do alot of the things you listed. I park where I can see my car from the back door. I have mace, I have always carried a knife, I check the parking...

Hello, I am needing some advise on this. Sorry but this is going to be long. When I was 7 I was molested and abused for about a year. He said I would be in trouble if I ever told, which is why it went on for so long. I was afraid and never told any...

We didn't move back for my family. My husband thought being closer to my mom, who moced back several years ago, would be beneficial. The house we are buying is in anothet town and on the edge of the county. I plan to look for employment in the next ...

Where in AR are you? I am in Pope County.. I make $14/hr now but I started off making $12.50.. I plan to get a new job soon.

My first job as an LPN out of school was in at family clinic in Panama City, FL and I was making $10/hr. I do know that other people were making more. I have since moved to AR, where I am from originally, and started off at $12.50/hr at family practi...

Yes he is registered. That's what I thought (may be in violation of terms of his release). But after calling around today, I learned that the terms of his release may have expired. Meaning that when they release him the judge can order for him to st...

Update on this** Today I called our local PD, as they were the arresting office when he was originally convicted of this. The lady who answered wasn't much help, she didn't even let me finish my question, and referred me to the Prosecuting Attorney's...
