Any LPNs here work in home health? How do you like it? How many patients do you normally visit a day? What goes on in a shift/visit? Do you get to use many skills? Is it just a side job or can you sustain on it alone?

I'm a new lpn student and love hearing/reading what other ppl go through as a nurse and see what i have to look forward to good, bad, and ugly. Please describe a typical work day for you as an lpn. Feel free to add special experiences too. Please als...

Let me start by saying I am a CNA and I'm not talking about all CNAs. I have a problem with some coworkers and even some CNAs in the forums here that just complain all day about how hard our jobs are and how the RNs don't do any thing, we do all the ...

Not to toot my own horn but I run circles around some RN at my job, I'm constantly told to continue for my RN, which I will but right now I'm a rock ass Nurse without it. It's just ignorance but even though it's annoying I educate the ignorant so tha...

Plan and simple some are jealous, some don't like their job, some are just miserable people. But you are in charge remember that, you shouldn't have to kiss their ass and neither should they. Unfortunately some people just lack respect. Just contin...

1. Look for another place because they're working under your license and don't need them trying to get you fired or worst put your license in jeopardy 2. If administration isn't on your side try to get cooperate involved 3. Mean time stand your groun...

I personally did enjoy it and I surprise other nurses and CNAs when they see me volunteer to do patient care when I have the time to help out my CNAs. I feel as though it's the foundation of my nursing. However when I was a CNA I did find myself gett...

I personally don't see the point in keeping it, I let mine go.

I did but only when I was still looking for my first LPN gig, and once I secured it I stayed a per diem tech for only 1.5 months which was how long it took me to feel comfortable in my new position.

I've been working as a LPN for 10months now here in Philly. I have two jobs, my main job that do full time pays $28 with benefits and my per diem job pays $26 without.

I work in a subacute rehab facility, I perform the most of same functions as a RN in my facility except I do not initiate care plans but I can add to them, I usually do not do initial assessments but if I do it's consigned, I do not initiate TPN/PPN....

How many guys have felt taken advantage of being the man on staff? I'm a cna and nursing student and I'm always being called to do the heavy lifting and a lot of times even left alone to do certain heavy tasks alone simply because I'm a "strong young...

Hey everyone, I'm a newly licensed nurse that will be starting my first job soon in a sub acute rehab facility. I've been informed that I will have 15-30 patients and will do all meds, treatments, and paper work. I'm very excited and nervous at the s...

Hey everyone, Im a new LPN and I will be starting my first job soon in a sub acute rehab facility. I've been informed that I will have 15-30 patients on average with short stays and will do all meds, treatments, paper work, etc. I'm very excited and ...

Anyone?

I just received my green light, but yeah I felt like was ready before then

I'm almost finished with nursing school, and although I've done very well throughout, I feel like I don't know much. Is that a normal feeling?

Oops only part that showed on my phone was post graduate student and I misinterpreted it

Are there any LPNs in public health? I recently met a friend who is diagnosed with HIV positive and he works as an educator and councilor and I am interested in joining the fight but was wondering how I could incorporate my future license. I'm also b...

Anyone?

******* has given up originally quit half way through our 3rd mod but ended up going part time which has thrown a big curve in everything with class schedule, exams, and clinical so I'm not team ******** right now. The freshman class has two new inst...

Any RNs that were once LPNs care to share your experience transitioning into the new role? What changed for you, what were the differences? Are you pleased with your decision to move forward?

I received notification from my school recently and it has me worried even though they say not to be. "On November 19, 2013, the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing notified Lincoln Technical Institute that its practical nursing program was placed o...

Why do you think more men are needed in nursing? And if you don't think so why? I think one, it balances the work place a little, no offense but a lot of women can be catty while the guys tend to be more laid back. Also I think if more men enter the ...

I work 32-40 hrs a week and in still getting all As, it's not easy but doable
