    Role of CNA

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

    The problem is you have "rules", this is very hard for nurses who didn't not work as CNAs to understand. Your not creating a co worker environment that encourages cohesiveness, your demanding a...

    How do you deal with a toxic workplace?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to LPN9200's topic in General Nursing

    I had to leave a job I loved because of this. My co workers for the most part were great, but the management team became toxic after my boss left. There was nothing to be done, 75% of the staff left...

    6 months, ED NURSE

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to NursePoboy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an ED nurse but try looking at difficult co workers and MDs in a different light. The ones who rattle me the most are usually the ones I learn the most because I then go to seek out the...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to JackieHouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry this happened! I go to a well respected college and our pre nursing advisors were AWFUL. I literally learned to not trust one thing my advisor said and I checked on everything myself with my own...

    Very confused at this point!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to wisconsin89's topic in General Students

    It would be quite hard to live on $12/hr part time. I was 19 when I went to lpn school, I made about $12 as an STNA and only worked PT. I used a student a loan and still ate ramen noodles most meals...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to armadaLPN's topic in LPN to RN

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Maustin89's topic in General Nursing

    I work in LTC PRN. I'm required to do 16 hours/mo, but they aren't required to give me hours. I actually pretty much pick up for only one nurse; her work schedule works well for my school schedule, so...
