   Archerlpvn replied to joyflnoyz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Really depends on where you’re an LVN at and the job market. I just type LVN in search bar on indeed.com. Hopefully different clinic, psych/addictions, corrections, MDS coordinator, and other...

7. Complaint against me to BVNPT

   Archerlpvn replied to dvd123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Archerlpvn replied to Kittycool's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   I think so much of your question has to do with where in CA you’re looking to buy. It would be hard on an LVN salary to afford a home on a single LVN salary in any of CA’s metro areas or adjacent....

    Archerlpvn replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Home Health

    Depending on the EMR you use, if you self schedule, make sure to make the changes after 5:30pm, once the office closes LOL. So you can only see 3-4 patients on a given day, and they can’t add...

    Archerlpvn replied to Mintezia's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
