  3. New Grad BSN RN accepted an LVN position. Question?

    cat1235 replied to tchampoux86's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Didn't even know it was legal to take a job that is below your license level ...besides the standard of care you'd be held to, what about pay? I thought legally they have to pay you as an RN and not...

    cat1235 replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Also, it sucks alot more pulling long ten hour night shifts at my home health job 4 days in a row and sometimes plus an extra day that week. Though I'd like day shift in a hospital, I'm much more...

  9. a new grad (sorta) opinion of HH.

    cat1235 replied to cat1235's topic in Private Duty

    While the hospital is still where I want to be, I do have to agree that I'd definitely enjoy intermittent visits better than this when it comes to HH / PD. I am at "work" now. I'm basically an...

    cat1235 replied to ljapri3's topic in Home Health

    cat1235 replied to cat1235's topic in Private Duty

    cat1235 replied to cat1235's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
