   bleafcna posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I need some advice. I'm a new LPN in my first job, I've been here 7 months. I've been the only permanent nurse on my unit for 6 of those months, so people come to me and expect a lot from me. I'd like to think I'm a good nurse. Today my 2 unit manage...

6. Jobs and the waiting game?

   bleafcna replied to bleafcna's topic in LPN/LVN

   Thank you! I'm trying to be patient, but as you know it's soooooo hard! My only contact is with the ADON and I know she's insanely busy, especially after the holidays, which I'm sure is what's adding to the wait time for me. Keeping my fingers crosse...

7. Jobs and the waiting game?

   bleafcna posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   How long do you wait for a job to contact you, or do you contact them? I was told I had a job (guarenteed) just had to wait for the recruiter from HR to get in touch with me so I could formally accept. It's been 2 weeks and I haven't heard from HR y...

    bleafcna replied to bleafcna's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Thanks! Yeah that's the thing, the option for schools out here are total crap, this was the affordable one in comparission. It was either this or 35k at Concorde...ummm no. No community colleges, nothing like that unless I drive 2 hours one way and t...

12. Beginning LPN program...Eep nervous!?

    bleafcna replied to bleafcna's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I should also have mentioned the program itself is not 25k, that was including my living expenses for a year, in addition to the program and NCLEX-PN test and licensure. The program itself I believe is 10-15k. Would be doing my RN thru Excelsior most...

13. Beginning LPN program...Eep nervous!?

    bleafcna replied to bleafcna's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    It is a for profit school, there are no local community colleges in my area, I'd be driving over about 2 hours, and they have 2 year minimum wait lists after you finish 2 years of pre reqs. I would go straight for my RN, however I'm a single parent a...
