OK 2 LPNs working for the same agency. LPN#1 (me) has been working for agency since 2015 and been an LPN for 3 years. LPN #2 (friend/coworker from a different facility) has been working for this same agency for 3 weeks and been a nurse for 2 years. ...

How do I speak up about it effectively? I want to say something about it, ask for an increase even if it IS true that she's getting more. I don't want to get her into any trouble and I don't want to out myself in a position where they stop giving me ...

You're absolutely right... people lie all the time. I'don't like to think of us as friends though and I have a hard time finding a reason for her to make up such a lie... but then again some people make up lies for no reason at all. The fact that sh...

Hi everyone, I'm a fairly new member. I graduated nursing school in August and with moving to a new state and taking the naked and some computer glitch, my license didn't become active until early November last year. I started looking for work as so...

ps:: we're in in south east VA near the oceanfront

Thanks so much!!! and we found out last week we're having another boy, we're super excited!!!

Thanks mluvsgnc for that tip, I was totally prepared to make that call!!! But the DON called me Wednesday morning and offered me the position! !! She said because I'm anew grad that she'd like me to stay pt with the possibility of going full time af...

OMG that's awful lilsnfrn!!! I hope that doesn't happen to me:( I can't even get a call back though so I may just lose my skills hoping someone hires me. I had that one interview and have not heard from anyone about anything. The HR lady who was so f...

Oh no she didn't ask if I was pregnant, I volunteered the information thinking she'd notice anyway and I didn't want it to look like a deliberate omission. This is somewhere that I'd like to stay long term if I'm offered the position and I'd want he...

I'm sorry I meant CrunchRN

Thanks so much CrunchED and Esme12!!!! I will definitely keep you all posted:)

I've only ever heard of hospitals doing that... but I'm sure if you research the facility you want work in, you could find out. Don't be afraid to call around and ask. good luck:)

thanks HouTx!! if my tummy wasn't so round I would've stayed quiet till I got an offer but I got nervous that she'd see it, assume I'm lazy or further along and send me swiftly on my way. I wanted her to see how determined and ambitious I am having a...

UPDATE!!!!! I called HR at the facility headquarters (I guess?? I live in VA and this lady is in PA) to see if I could get an interview with the facility in a different location. She just called to let me know that the DON at the place I want emaile...

Thanks xoemmylouox and haha I can totally work without any obsession of my son. Of course I love my kid to bits but I want my career and I don't see a reason why I can't be a mother and a nurse. I really think that MA set me up to get let go... when ...

I agree with SoldierNurse22. Just be upfront and discuss your skills. You're still technically a new grad cause you've been out less than 6 months but explain how much you did learn at your previous job. Have you tried a cover letter? Or revamping yo...

Thank you both soooo much!!! If you did hire me you would not be sorry at all!!!!

Exactly the way I feel crunchRN!! I'm short and I show really quickly anyway! I hate to seem fake or sneaky, this is a place I could see myself working for maybe 4-5 years or longer.... I want to ultimately get my MSN so my next step will be going fo...

Oh, and thanks for spacing my paragraphs too!!

Thanks Esme12!!!! I'm really hoping and praying this DON doesn't look at my pregnancy as something that is gonna make me an unworthy candidate. I mean, she could be interviewing a non pregnant nurse who thinks she's just gonna go in and boss around t...

Sorry everyone!!! It's a long post and I sent it from my phone... I spaced my paragraphs but I guess it didn't work. Thank you for reading still:)

when I took it in Oct. It cut me off at 85 questions and I passed too!! I was told by another nurse you either did really great or really bad... I'll stay positive and say you did great. The pearson vue trick absolutely works though!!! log in and att...

Hi everyone, I'm a newly licensed LPN and I've been looking for work like crazy (who hasn't right?), anyway I must've filled out between 80-100 apps over the passed couple weeks. So far I only have 1 employer who seems interested. It's an orthopedic...

Thanks RNlove17 it's nice to know that I'm not alone and that I'm not seen as an idiot or irresponsible or anything like that... but let me ask you this: being that the position is new and its being "made" to accomodate the new Dr coming in feb. Do...

Hi guys!! Thanks so much for your input:) I've had some of the same thoughts going through my head, I don't want to lose the opportunity for this position simply because I'm pregnant. Its discrimination that they would chose not to hire me on the bas...
