if you work in a nursing home as a nurse or aide what you think is the toughest shift. 7-3 shift 3-11 shift 11-7 shift

Yes I guess 7-3 shift would be the hardest or busiest to work. Each shift has its challenges but I guess 7-3 would be the craziest. 3-11 would be not as crazy but still decently busy. 11-7 would be easier to work if you can deal with lack of sleep...

Daytime: 7-3 Evening: 3-11 Night: 11-7 Which is your favorite to work and why. Which do you think is the toughest shift.

I do not know if this is in the right section of the forums or not but i'll ask away. I am a nurses aide working in a nursing home. One evening I had about 11 patients on a hall way. Some of them had something called the Tama Flu. My hallway was...

Is it really that big of a deal to take a lunch break. I never complained to my co workers at all. Everyone on daylight found out and made a big deal about it. I think they were more upset that I was not getting enough help. Another question. Do...

what time do you guys go on your lunch/dinner breaks.

I am a CNA working the evening shift 3-11 in a skilled nursing facility. What I have noticed in the past year of being in the nursing field that there is a lot of crap to put up with. That includes dealing with other people on other shifts. It see...

No mater what though management always sides with the 7-3 shift on everything. It really makes them look better and superior to the other two shifts and its not true

I am 21 years old and I currently work as a Certified Nursing Assistant in a nursing home. I have done it for a year in a half. I am wanting to go to school to be an LPN. I know many people say it is a waste of time and should go for the RN. I ju...

Well I thought about doing a 2 year community college for my RN but my high school GPA was not high enough to get into the program. At that time I was not 100% sure if nursing was my thing. Then I went into becoming a CNA which I do like. I work a...

I thought I saw in bureau labor of statistics that LPN Job growth is to go up by so many percent.

Unfortunately I do not think it will ever go away. One thing is just because one aide or nurse did not do something right or lazy does not mean oh well 3-11 or 11-7 or 7-3 was lazy. Don't judge the entire shift which 7-3 constantly do to 3-11. the...

1. Is it true that they are almost completely phased out of hospitals 2. is it true that CNAs and medical assistants are going to do an LPNs job in the future 3. Is going to be an LPN even worth it. Would it be a good job to stay with for the...

Nursing is a 24 hour job. People have got to realize and deal with the fact there are things left undone sometimes. No shift is better than the other one or two shifts. People just need to understand. Every shift has its plus and minuses. 7-3 s...

Anyone else agree with me in saying that no one is ridiculous or no shift is ridiculous.

I wish they would realize that no shift is better than the other shift. Yes we have some lazy people and sometimes we don't do everything we cant do. I know my evening nurse complains about stuff that daylight left over that they should have stayed...

It does not really help cause our ADON agrees with daylight. Its like daylight thinks they do everything perfectly they don't do anything wrong make mistakes or forget anything. They talk a lot of crap on my shift 3-11. We are the shift that nev...

I am 20 years old and I do not think there are many LPN programs in my area. I live near the city of Pittsburgh and I know the trade school Pittsburgh technical institute has a one year program. I know even though not near the city of Pittsburgh I ...

I know that's where the nurses does their charting like the nurse charts their meds on the MAR. What information goes inside a persons chart

It always seems like the evening shift always gets dumped on. For example my other co worker got a resident up to the restroom about 10 o clock before night shift came on and she was perfectly fine in bed. the next day daylight came on and apparent...

The only places I found where the Pittsburgh technical Institute and all the way up in beaver county Community College of Beaver County. I know UPMC St Margaret had a 1 year LPN Program but I cant seem to find it anywhere on the internet. Is there ...

Thank you for your response.

I wish I could do an RN school I wish I could go to get my BSN.

I know it depends on the cost of living but where I live the cost of living is. Where I live the cost of living is between 40,000 and 50,000 a year. Can I make it off an LPN salary in that area. What is usually the starting pay for LPNs in general...

I need to know do all cnas get frustrated with their job. The times I do is when I have something on schedule where im getting everything done on time then boom! something happens. I do not know what it is about it that just gets to me. I am not ...
