  1. Do LPN's get the pay they deserve?

    NursesRmofun replied to Pedsnrs2003's topic in General Nursing

    Just call me a doubting Thomas! Was this $70,000 with OT? I have never seen a LPN make $36/hr....not even in home health. Maybe you meant with a significant amount of

  2. Do LPN's get the pay they deserve?

    NursesRmofun replied to Pedsnrs2003's topic in General Nursing

  6. "Just an LPN"....does anyone else get discouraged?

    NursesRmofun replied to DeniseLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Interesting reading, but try to be nice to each other. These discussions tend to degrade somewhere along the way, and some shots have been thrown here already. However, I especially liked hearing...

  7. "Just an LPN"....does anyone else get discouraged?

    NursesRmofun replied to DeniseLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have no idea. I have not met many bad nurses. The ones that were bad were lazy most of the time, not stupid. LPNS and RNS have different educations....but I know that LPNS are nurses. I was one for...

  8. "Just an LPN"....does anyone else get discouraged?

    NursesRmofun replied to DeniseLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Is there some test that tells you if you as good or better than the nurses you work with or is it a matter of opinion? Truth is, any experienced nurse is probably better than a brand new nurse,...

  9. NY LPNs: How are you coping?

    NursesRmofun replied to tankity's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I live in NY and have not heard this....And I currently work in a state-ran institution. I don't think they have any choice BUT to grandfather in Assoc. Degree nurses, IF they were to change the...

  10. "Just an LPN"....does anyone else get discouraged?

    NursesRmofun replied to DeniseLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just was reading some other comments just now and remembered one of the first lectures I had in my RN program...the *old timer* teaching actually said that we would be RNs and that there were plenty...

  11. "Just an LPN"....does anyone else get discouraged?

    NursesRmofun replied to DeniseLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    i agree with some of what has been said here in the last day for sure. if i wasn't an lpn first, i don't think i'd be as good of a rn now. it's great experience and you get to do most nursey...

    NursesRmofun replied to DeniseLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wrong. That is why it is illegal to say you are a nurse when you are

  13. "Just an LPN"....does anyone else get discouraged?

    NursesRmofun replied to DeniseLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I was an LPN, I did get that feeling and have the experience that a LPN was never good enough to many. But I always knew inside that I was a good nurse. I knew when to tell the doctor what I...

  16. Should new grads jump right into Med-Surg?

    NursesRmofun replied to shunda's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My personal opinion is that med-surg is the best experience out of school! Hang in there! You didn't get *any* oreintation!? That's not good.

  17. CNAS behind Nurses Station more than nurse

    NursesRmofun replied to vanurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    You must be new to the facility. I would tell you to go ahead and tell them they are only to be behind the nursing station when it's not busy....or whenever you think it is

  18. correctional nursing pay rate

    NursesRmofun replied to lorita's topic in Correctional

    Wow, that's a big range. In the Max I just left, the rates were between $24/hr. and $28-29/hr. base, depending on experience (in years) as a RN. But you have to add on geographical pay, harzardous...

  19. NCLEX-RN versus NCLEX-PN

    NursesRmofun replied to mye614's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It was a long time ago and I took the NCLEX-PN when it was still on paper. However, my questions on the LPN test had more- "advise the RN", or "advise the MD" answers. I took the computerized NCLEX-RN...

  23. Good bye to corrections

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Correctional

    Thank you all very much! I guess I can pursue correctional nursing there also then. Great. :) I know I will surely miss corrections. Most of the CO's are really nice too. Even the inmates aren't that...

  24. Med-surg vs. LTC (new LPN needs advice!)

    NursesRmofun replied to michelle-new-lpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I only want to chime in that hospital nursing is tough but the best experience you can get as far as seeing what you learned up close and personal and using your skills including assessment skills....
