  1. How do I enter lapse?

    neygray posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've searched the career advice section, and there really aren't many responses on that portion. I'm updating my resume. There is a 2 year span of unemployment. My husband transferred to another...

  2. CNA student, please give advice for hospital employment

    neygray replied to SunshineCNA's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I was a CNA before nursing school. Honestly, I don't know of anything to really prepare yourself as this is an entry level position unless your local hospital has 'transporters'. Then, what you...

  4. Open House at TMC - Novant - Did anyone go?

    neygray replied to EmilyLucille523's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Baptist was hiring new grads. They have a great orientation/preceptor program. An added plus is that it is a teaching facility. Not to take away from Novant facilities, they are good too. It's...

  5. Teaching Hospital vs. Non-teaching

    neygray replied to wildlaurel's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Another plus is that you always have someone there that you don't mind calling @ 0300 for something petty, but has to have a MD

  6. Open House at TMC - Novant - Did anyone go?

    neygray replied to EmilyLucille523's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thomasville as far as I know is not really hiring for nursing right now. Matter of fact, the Piedmont area Novant hospitals have really slowed with hiring and their use of agency

  7. What happens to LPN license if I can't pay by renewal date??? Please help me!

    neygray replied to donna52's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The late fee runs April 1-June30, which is $75. After that, your license lapses.

  8. NEW LPN....needs help with Job questions

    neygray replied to SLOOZEN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I got my first job 4 weeks after passing NCLEX. I applied in person and followed up with a phone call 1 week later. I'm not sure online resume posting is the way to go right now from everything I've...

  9. LPNs with a Diploma vs LPNs with an Associate's Degree

    neygray replied to avigrrl80's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have a diploma. I guess it depends on what state that you are in. But in the end, yes, all that matters is that you're a LPN and are licensed by your state

  10. I'm new to Georgia

    neygray replied to sdanielles's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I now live in NC due to my husband transferring. I don't know how much experience you have and any 'stereotypes' you've had to deal with, but the Medical Center floor I worked on, I was considered a...

  11. I'm new to Georgia

    neygray replied to sdanielles's topic in Georgia Nursing

    There is also Central State Hospital in Milledgeville that uses lots of LPN's if you don't mind psych or prison

  12. I'm new to Georgia

    neygray replied to sdanielles's topic in Georgia Nursing

    That is where I worked when living there. The Medical Center does hire LPN's. However, you may want to call their Human Resources. Recently they have laid off management and cut back on the use of...

  13. I'm new to Georgia

    neygray replied to sdanielles's topic in Georgia Nursing

    To help you out better, what area are you

  14. LPN to RN Bridge in North Carolina

    neygray replied to workingonitnow's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Whatever you decide, good luck. I'm planning to start FTCC in the spring for the bridge program. If nothing else, you can work the 6 months and by the time the winter quarte rolls around again,...

  15. per diem

    neygray replied to mume2mykidz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've been a nurse for 6 years now. I work for Nursefinders. Some homecare agencies will hire new grads, but I do know that at Nursefinders here, you must have 1 year experience. Not only that, you...

  16. Any employees of High Point Regional??

    neygray replied to QueensNurseNY's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm sorry, didn't mean to depress you. HPC might be a great place to work now. I just know the approximately 10 nurses I've talked to left when their contract was up because there wasn't enough...

  17. What *other* jobs are LVN's qualified for?

    neygray replied to RN/Mom's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    exactly as i said, if it is like my surrounding states, and apparently western states aren't. in the state of nc and ga, you have to be certified as a ma to work as one. but like you, i would hate...

  18. per diem

    neygray replied to mume2mykidz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Usually @ least $10 more per hour. I work per diem @ the local hospital and make $15 more per hour than their staff LPN's, that's not including extra shiftdiff and weekend

  19. I Need Help----what Should I Do?

    neygray replied to josinda421's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If that is stressful to you, then being an RN isn't your answer either, because it is basically the same. You should look at your local community college and see what programs that they offer in...

  20. What *other* jobs are LVN's qualified for?

    neygray replied to RN/Mom's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If California is like the states in this area, you cannot work as a phlebotomist or medical assistant. They each have their own training and certifications and also their own board exams. Not only...

  21. Any employees of High Point Regional??

    neygray replied to QueensNurseNY's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Most facilities care about the patients, because that is where the money comes from. As far as caring about the employees, you may want to add a few more options to your list. I do not work there,...

  22. LPN to RN Bridge in North Carolina

    neygray replied to workingonitnow's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I am not sure what area you are in, but in the Triad area, Forsyth Tech has a bridge program where you do not have to be employed. Davidson Community College at one time required that you were....

  23. ACLS certification

    neygray replied to suture_self's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Probably not the cheapest way, but a 'legit' way, contact your local American Heart Assoc. They offer the classes. Also, a local teaching hospital here offers ACLS certs, you just have to buy and...

  24. Bayada Nurses pay rate

    neygray replied to pacemb's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If you don't mind one on one, with quite sick patients many times, it might be right for you. But, that isn't my cup of tea. If I'm going to have someone go bad, I want the code team within close...

  25. Second guessing

    neygray replied to trjohnson0213's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When you catch yourself reading more into it than necessary, glance up and re-read. My instructors always told us to never answer more than the question is asking. If they wanted you to read more...
