I just heard a rumor that LPNs are coming back to a hospital here in Michigan.. otherwise they are usually in LTC.

I don't see an issue with it, I'd just apologize and explain when you get there.

Yes... it is all Osama Bin Laden's fault for the fat people in the world... Damn you Bin Laden and you making us fat, from the grave...

I know it just feels like I'm over my head. I have no intention on quitting. Just with level 1 coming to an end there are so many tests/exams and clinical competency coming up... Just overwhelming.

I'm super skinny and a huge bad example I guess. I drink mountain dew regularly... As we speak actually, I eat junk, I don't exercise much... I am skinny though.. so I'm good... I was soooo worried. No.. I know overweight people who are 100 times healthier then me.. I'm unhealthy and working on it for me not for other people and you shouldn't be judging others.. it is none of your business or much less care if a nurse is obese or.not.

I am so overwhelmed. I feel like I am a week behind on my school work (I'm not, just feeling like I have so much to do and not enough time). I am in an accelerated program, 12 month program. I have about a month and a few days left of level 1 and I cannot wait. I feel like when I signed up and got accepted this was going to be easier. I have no idea what I was thinking. This is so stressful and I am on the verge of crying all the time. We are losing classmates every week now and that doesn't help my anxiety due to the fact that these people could have made wonderful nurses and were working really hard. I am hoping it gets better.

US.. Michigan.

I don't see how discussing the patient with his doctor is a HIPAA violation... I think your supervisor is mad you called the doctor and not listen to him and deal with it.

What I don't understand is why would you apply for your job... Didn't you do that already... Since you work there... Sounds like he fired you but didn't have the .... To tell you.

My understanding is it is okay as long as they are okay as being listed.

Sounds like you're not officially in the nursing program (I could be wrong). So when you're done with your prereqs you'll have to apply to the program or you'll be on a wait list, depending on how your school does that.

Unless your plate reads "NewLVN" then I think you're okay.

Where I live it is not legal to ask an employer when they do a verification if they were let go or quit. They can ask if the person can be re-hired. They also cannot tell anyone why they were fired. Doesn't mean they don't but legally they should not be.

I dealt with this for a year at my last job (not a nursing job) with multiple people. Anywhere from sexual harassment to people spreading rumors and calling me names to other people. When I reported (many times) nothing happened. When I got fed up after one jealous coworker calling me not so nice names.. I was told because of my reputation, I will not be taken seriously and my reports won't be taken seriously. I quit. In Michigan you can collect unemployment for repeatly reporting this and nothing happening which forced you to quit. I'd look into it because if it isn't going to get better there isn't much you can do. Short from suing and getting a lawyer.
