    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Should I get my RN?

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering if I should even try to get my RN or if I should try something else. Maybe ultrasonography or OR tech. Are all medical jobs hard to get or is it just nursing. I've been having such a...

    Which job should I go back to?

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

    I can't even count the number of LTC facilities I have worked in & will never go back. But yeah, I could always apply to places that don't have ads up. It's just hard because I live in a somewhat...

    OrganizedChaos replied to tcooks7's topic in Private Duty

    If the agency won't switch you I would look for another agency or another job. I've never worked a case where the caregiver SLEPT in the same room as the patient. She seems super overbearing. If you...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Yani_5412's topic in General Students

    If you're high on the point system & closer to getting in at the community college then go back to that. It seems like it's gonna take awhile at the university to get in. I had kinda gone through...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Correctional

    I did, thank you. But what they didn't post on the information about the job was that it was a rotating schedule. They were kinda cold to begin with & once they heard I couldn't work nights (I...

    Yeah I feel like giving up too. I am an LVN & when I apply everyone wants someone with experience. If I get called in for an interview I wonder why am I here? I know I won't get the job because...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Excelsior College

    Thank you. I really want my RN but I do need a handle on me & my diagnosis first. Yes, that's true. We don't hear from everyone at every testing site. I'll keep every option open. Thank you.
