    LaJollalove replied to LPNDebbie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  3. "LPNs are glorified CNAs"

    LaJollalove replied to nursetnc's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  4. The Degrading "Meet and Greet"

    LaJollalove replied to panurse9999's topic in Home Health

    I agree and I feel more sorry for great nurses who love HH and really feel it’s their calling than I do myself who it’s never been a great fit for (except with one special patient and family). I...

  5. Calling all HH nurses with 1:1 assignments

    LaJollalove replied to alligatoRN's topic in Home Health

    Hi! I’ve done this for years, mostly with children. Whether or not you will like it depends on the patient, family members or other caregivers and your employer and of course your personal...

    LaJollalove replied to vzcookie's topic in Travel

    Hi, I personally feel that you are doing the right thing if you are happy when no one is trying to convince you to take another path. I think you should refuse to listen to people's opinion about...

  8. Does LVN experience count?

    LaJollalove posted a topic in Travel

    Hi all, Ive noticed that many Travel Companies require at least two years as an RN in your specialty. I was wondering if two years experience in the ER for example as an LVN would qualify me even if...

  10. Evil Nurses

    LaJollalove replied to sammiesmom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm so sorry you are dealing with such a difficult co-worker. I've experienced this as well especially being a new hire and new grad. Though there is no excuse for your co-worker to treat you poorly,...

  11. Travel CRNA?

    LaJollalove replied to LaJollalove's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thank you for your fast response and information! When you write "dream job", do you mean it's a great job or that's it's very difficult to become? I see you work in the ICU, what do you like/dislike...

    LaJollalove replied to LaJollalove's topic in Travel

    I'm not in the RN program yet; I know of a few hospitals in my area (So. Cal) the hire LVNs in the ER and of some that hire them as Techs. I'm very willing to be a tech but I don't think they are used...

    LaJollalove replied to adventurous_rn's topic in Travel

    Sounds awesome! how do you make it work? Specifically, how do you have time with a full time job to travel to other states to work PRN? If you don't mind my asking, what is your home

    LaJollalove replied to adventurous_rn's topic in Travel
