    How many times will you ask me to stay over??

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's fine to help out every so often and I am sure it's appreciated but by no means should you have to come in on your day off or be the one who constantly stays for doubles. I also work PRN at a LTC...

    Feeling so lost! NEW GRAD RN THROWN INTO A SUPERVISORY POSITION

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to armyinfantrywife's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh SNF, they love to do this. Then you will go down in a ball of flames on something out of your hands and you will be there to blame. Runnnnnn. I hate to sound so pessismistic but I have seen many...

    Does your facility have 12 hour shifts or 8 hour shifts?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to smartypants22's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    8 hours. If I work there full time/ part time I wouldn't because I would want 12 hour shifts. But I am in school and 8 hour shifts are a good fit for PRN. They really need to switch to 12's because...

    Can I be rehired?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to aeminer's topic in General Nursing

    That's why this is confusing. If OP really did test positive for opiates, then I don't think they would hire her back. So if they said she tested positive to a drug she is known to allergic to and...

    Can I be rehired?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to aeminer's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you want to go back to a place that may have set you up for a positive drug

    Call bell dilemma

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Dbarnhart's topic in General Nursing

    I recently started in a LTC that does NOT HAVE CALL BELLS!! It's freaking amazing. What they have is pendants they press that go directly to the aide's beeper. I only get the alert on my cell if it's...

    Finding work while working on prereqs?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to .Olive.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PRN PCA at a hospital. You pick your hours and work around child care. I am working PRN as an LPN now in LTC while I finish my bridge program and it's worked out better than I expected. My husband...

    Fast-Track nursing degree (am I making a mistake?)

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Pokerhauntus's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    There aren't many LPN programs that are much longer than 12-18 months so I would say the one your looking into is pretty average. Mine was about 12 months exactly. It was manageable and I honestly...

    My LVN job considers me as an MA...feeling unappreciated and very stressed...NEED ADVICE!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mariamarro321's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh and I should add I no longer work there. My boss left and crap rolled down hill fast. I am back in LTC while I finish out my bridge program and back to being a

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mariamarro321's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you wouldn't have said a pediatric office, I would have assumed we had worked at the same place. I had the same thing happen to me when I went to work for an occ health clinic. It wasn't my first...

    Having trouble finding a job

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mago8388's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered LTC/SNF/Rehab? That way you can get back in the game skill wise then apply to hospitals in a year. Back when the nurse overflow was super bad, many of the nurses I worked with in...

    Admitted to A-BSN UM university but can't get loans?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to ericlavin67's topic in General Students

    I see what others said about being accelerated-- I too have heard that it's impossible to work a lot, many students in my pre reqs were apart of that program. You need to figure a cheaper route

    Admitted to A-BSN UM university but can't get loans?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to ericlavin67's topic in General Students

    You will be fine to work during nursing school. I do it with three kids under 7. The only way I cnn see you getting loans is if you pay it yourself or get a co-signer. I recently stopped working full...

    Floor Nursing vs. Doctor's Office

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to addiewaad's topic in General Nursing

    Your definitely paid less in clinic nursing but most of my LPN career has been in clinic nursing and I haven't worked a holiday since 2010. I don't mind too, we are just never open. Your generally off...

    New grad offer, need input

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to eftxrnpnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not an NP but I was an LPN who assisted an MD in a family practice who had 25 patients/day. We started at 8 and left at 6 -- that was a good

    Leaving during or right after orientation for a better job offer, please help!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Postpartum RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    orientation is trial period for BOTH employer and employee. And since you didn't sign a contract, it's perfectly acceptable to leave it at the commute and provide a two week notice. I don't believe in...

    How to stay away from smoking!!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in General Students

    I quit smoking two years ago for my health and for school. I didn't want to be sick all the time or worried about when I am getting my next smoke. I am having a hard time in the stress of school...

    Should I ask for more money?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it would be inappropriate to ask just be prepared to know what your plan is if they say no. I have only asked for more money in a situation where I KNEW I was one of the few choices they...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    While what this student did was a crap move, since you did directly inform her about it, I do not think she did anything that could ger her legally in trouble or kicked out of school. I think you did...

    Really, how bad can it be to work in LTC?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to BirdieBird's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What is your patient to nurse ratio? That makes ALL the difference in LTC, seriously. I have 25 patients, 10 skilled, and in a 8 hour shift, I don't sit but I usually leave on time. The other day,...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to pbmaxx's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You need to move on a find a new job. You have been told it won't change AKA they do not care your running ragged the whole shift. 31 shifts is TOO many. I have 25 in LTC, 10 of those skilled. My DON...

    Full time working moms - how do you manage it?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with staying part time if your finances allow it or do night shift if you have to work full time financially. I have three kids under 7 and the only schedule full time that worked was when I...
