    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Nursing

    We have used daycare before but since this is a PRN job it makes finding a quality one next to impossible I would need drop in care and I can't find one offered for infants (I have an 11 month old)...

    New to Ambulatory and need help with Role

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Addigirl's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hmmmmm this sounds strange!! Just because I have been a clinic LPN a many a times and I have never not done what my nurse manager has asked me. I would do two things: 1) Ask the doctors and NP what...

    LVN Burnout

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

    I went through this 3 or so years in of my LPN career. I was just done with the overload of patients, getting my ass beaten every day, never eating during 16 hour shifts, etc. I started to loathe it....

    Plan B!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Determined2017's topic in General Nursing

    Well I am already an LPN so that would obviously be my fall back but I won't fail either so I won't need it. I've maintained a 4.0 with three kids, post partum depression hell, working, husband/home...

    Do we "just give meds"?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to theviolinist's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have been in LTC on and off for awhile now and yes essentially that is your main objective in long term care because you have 25+ patients. I am PRN in LTC right now as I am in school and my main...

    Any of you LPNs bridging to RN in your very late 40s

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to carz's topic in LPN to RN

    The only thing I would take into consideration is the years you will work vs the amount of loans you will have to take out. But now people are having to work older than ever so that may be a moot...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    I had my third baby last November in nursing school. If I could have him another time but change the time I did it, I would have. I made it through and maintained my 4.0 but I suffered from PPD (I...

    Interview/potentially headed back to LTC any advice?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My best piece of advice I have ever been given is fake it till you make it. I portray confidence but in reality I will ask questions if I am not 100% sure, the trick is I write the answer down so i...

    On Call

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to NotFlo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow, I have never ever heard of staff nurses being on call in LTC..that's just so strange. I wouldn't do it, especially if I wasn't being compensated and for the fact that I can't have the much child...

    Is nursing school really "that" bad?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    I have not found it impossible. I gave birth to my 3rd child last November too, took my pharm final 2 weeks later and scored an A. The first two years, I worked full time, went PT school in the...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to CMarieRN87's topic in General Nursing

    Wanted to add in a suggestion for you...have you looked into Occ health? LPN's are generally paid more. I made $18.05 at my first occ health job, i worked 9-5, M-F, no weekends or holidays, ever. I...

    Military LVN?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to bradycardic's topic in Government, Military

    I actually just recently went and inquired information from a national guard member about being an LPN in army national guard. Essentially, as an LPN you would be given no extra credit, now this is in...

    Dr Office vs Med-Surg

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

    As an LPN who has worked in a few clinics, be weary. I say this because in your position now, you are "the nurse". In a clinic, you may often be referred to as an MA or nurse assistant and paid as...

    When did you find your calling?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very good and accurate response that I think every person needs to read before they go into nursing. The hard to find a job as a new nurse is still very prevalent in many big cities and many...

    When did you find your calling?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a religious or overly spiritual person but I have certainly felt a pull toward the field and feel nursing has given me many life skills I needed. It's the only adult job I have ever known...

    Advice about pay increase.

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

    I do not work in your field but I had a situation where I was going way above and beyond my job description and deserved to be paid as such. Thankfully I had a good boss and basically said (in a...
