    LPN to RN hours counted for higher pay?

    Trauma_drama14 replied to spar386's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely do not let your license lapse. Why would you? Are doing a fastrack LPN to RN degree? I think it honestly depends on the facility. Before working in the hospital, I was a LPN with over...

    Trauma_drama14 replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Rapid Response vs Code

    Trauma_drama14 replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    I think it just variesfor each facility. For my facility, the RRT and Code team are slightly the same. When we call for RRT, the team leader from the ICU comes down (whether it is surgical, medical,...

    No babies for this NICU nurse

    Trauma_drama14 replied to angrykitten's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Good for you! After having six kids, looks like you've finally realized that you're fertile. Maybe it's time to stop reproducing for once. I, on the other hand, enjoy going home and not hearing...

    ACLS?

    Trauma_drama14 replied to fedynaj's topic in General Nursing

    With working in the ER, even on the non telemetry side, they dont require you to get your ACLS? Everytime I look at out internal positions and see an ER opening, it always says ACLS required, also...

    first job!!

    Trauma_drama14 replied to qcnursingstudent's topic in General Nursing

    In southwestern Ohio, they offer around that much--22, 23. I got a little more than that due to the fact that I was a LPN prior to being a RN. Our facility does 15% shift differential and 10% for...
