  1. PLEASE don't do it!

    jamangel replied to jamangel's topic in Correctional

    I don't even know how they can get away with it. Security at my facility is too tight. You'd have to have security in your pocket to do that. When stuff like that happens it's usually security. My...

  2. Trying to decide on correctional nursing.

    jamangel replied to simbaRN's topic in Correctional

    I think that's wonderfully stated. And would be exactly how I would explain

  3. Sister-in-law dating ex-con

    jamangel replied to NurseAction's topic in Correctional

    My husband went to prison at 26. This was before I knew him. There is a big difference between the two as I have worked them both. I'm not implying that the situation man involved is clean or falsely...

  4. NC 1 through Excelsior

    jamangel replied to aegirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

  5. I need advice on where to go from here....

    jamangel replied to casey12873's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  6. Satisfied with Remaining an LPN?

    jamangel replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    if you go to http://www.opm.gov website you can pull up the payscale for General Schedule workers which is what LPN's are. Initially all nurse's were Title 38 but later LPN's were made Title 38...

  7. Sister-in-law dating ex-con

    jamangel replied to NurseAction's topic in Correctional

    Can i just say this? I think that it's ridiculous to say that one cannot fraternize with excons because 1) not everyone is guilty 2) not everyone is unable to cahnge and 3) if that excon were a close...

  8. Satisfied with Remaining an LPN?

    jamangel replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, as I was writing that post I realized in that moment that I didn't feel that way until I came to the VA. Pursuing my RN was always my goal and I began taking the BSN core ( 1 class at a time) in...

  9. Satisfied with Remaining an LPN?

    jamangel replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    well, I definitely have to say being an LPN is not for me. I'm actually in school completing my core for RN but I'm also doing Social Worker core as well. I'm on the divide about whether to stay in...

    jamangel replied to casey12873's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  11. Too Cute!

    jamangel replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Correctional

    I don't know about where you live but full time pay as a correctional nurse LPN doesn't pay that well. I guess it may depend on whether you are working in a county jail or state prison but it also...

  12. Your Favorite Drug Guide

  15. LTC LPN wanting to go into corrections??

    jamangel replied to RedRoses's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I absolutely love Corrections. It's my PRN job. I use to work it full time before my present job. It's easy and it will allow you time to study. Check out the Correctional Nursing

  16. VA experiences

    jamangel replied to exnavygirl-RN's topic in Government, Military

    I'm an LPN in VISN 7 and I've been at the VA almost 3 years. Each facility is different I believe. There is a lot of divide between LPN's and RN's because we are not looked at with the same eye as...

  17. Roll Call for all Military and VA Nurses and those considering the Service

    jamangel replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

  18. OHHH I feel silly asking this!

    jamangel replied to Coloradogrl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm very particular about my scrubs as the softer the material the happier I am. I'm a big fan of Cottonality scrubs and I love my denim scrubs. Those are the brands I buy mostly and I can wear any...

  19. Need some advice

    jamangel replied to tx esrun's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm wondering Commuter if your experience is based on working in an upscale LTC environment. Don't get me wrong there are rewards but they are far and few between in most nursing homes here UNLESS...

  20. Advice on Staffing/Temp Agency

    jamangel replied to vnightingale06's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's not crazy. I work corrections and before I did I was a little worried. I decided that if I didn't like the security during orientation then I wouldn't stay. Where I work, you can't have any...

  21. "Umm...I need the RN."

    jamangel replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Then she should know that even the ward clerk can make an appointment. It's still an idiotic statement. I guess these type of peope get on my

  22. Is it possible?????????????

    jamangel replied to islandti_patty's topic in LPN to RN

    I personally think it's alot but it doesn't mean you can't do it. It's doable because you aren't working and will have the time. I don't know if you have family obligations which could make it...

  23. "Umm...I need the RN."

    jamangel replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello, My name is Angel and I am your nurse today. That's it. In 10 years I think I've only been asked whether I was a RN or LPN twice. When I worked LTC most residents families knew that LPN's were...

  24. PLEASE don't do it!

    jamangel replied to jamangel's topic in Correctional

    No one here has ever lost their license but were just blacklisted. Maybe that's why they take the chance. My firneds whole attitude is that she can get another job because she doesn't look at...

  25. PLEASE don't do it!

    jamangel replied to jamangel's topic in Correctional

    It actually happens alot. I don't know what to say about where there mindset is. It's just a need for love or belonging. I guess what I'm saying is that there is some psychological issues going on....
