  1. LPN in G.I. office/surgical procedures

    Cardiacluv posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I will be starting in a G.I. unit soon as a new grad LPN and I was wanted to hear from fellow nurses, specifically LPNs regarding your experience in G.I. What are good questions to ask? What types of...

  2. Should I take the offer for free CNA training before beginning nursing school?

    Cardiacluv replied to curlybirdie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If it were me, I would take the CNA training with the post graduation job offer. Yes the pay may be lower but you will be learning skills that you will need as an RN and it will also make the...

  3. "Just" an LPN

    Cardiacluv replied to lgail's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is what it is, everyone is just something unless they are an RN or Physician, period. When I was a CNA, RNs and LPNs were quick to say oh dont say you're just a CNA but when something wasn't right,...

  6. Gwinnett Tech bridge requirements

    Cardiacluv replied to Sazdorn's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Ok, so I guess, whats on the website is it! Good to know, I have a few friends who have not started working as a LPN yet, so I was curious. Thanks for posting their

  7. Applying for multiple RN positions in the same company

    Cardiacluv replied to HopeisAlive's topic in General Nursing

    Well I cant speak to RN new grad positions, but I am a new grad LPN and I applied to multiple job postings within the same hospital systems and got calls from multiple departments for interviews, so...

  9. Application under review?

    Cardiacluv replied to 2016Grad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Gotcha!

  10. Application under review?

    Cardiacluv replied to 2016Grad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I dont see where you get that an app being marked "under review" is a back burner thing. More often than not, when my app status was changed to that statement, I've been called for an interview in 1-3...

  11. Application under review?

    Cardiacluv replied to 2016Grad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are being a little impatient yes. No being under review is not a bad sign. As for the time frame for them calling you back it varies, of course. I have had hospital systems mark my app under...

  12. Georgia Policy For Convicted Felons

    Cardiacluv replied to rackellp's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You should contact the GA BON in regards to getting licensed........ Getting into a program with a criminal record is not really an issue, the problem comes when you have to get a background check to...

  15. Feeling uneasy about first nursing job.

    Cardiacluv posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello nurses, Today was my first day at an ALF, I mostly shadowed the nurse but I did pass a few meds, for the most part I think I can handle it, the one thing that makes me nervous is the lack of...

  16. Endoscopy Interview Questions

    Cardiacluv replied to starlight88's topic in Gastroenterology

    You're welcome, the only things I can remember them asking were in regards to IV starts, and familiarity with certain things like, cardiac monitoring, admitting patients in a busy setting. Remember...

  17. Endoscopy Interview Questions

    Cardiacluv replied to starlight88's topic in Gastroenterology

    Hi, I dont have much advice, but I just wanted to tell you good luck. I am a new LPN with no experience and I just got hired in Endo. The only thing I can say is, know how to answer the, "Tell me...

  18. TEAS V

    Cardiacluv replied to Kendrabe's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    If all you need is a 55, these TEAS shouldn't be hard at all! It's just like taking a compass test for the most part. If you get the ATI Teas V practice tests(specifically the online versions) you'll...

  19. Feeling uneasy about first nursing job.

    Cardiacluv replied to Cardiacluv's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks, I won't be working overnight. They only have med techs at night and there is no RNs on staff at all. I do plan to get to develop my relationship with the aides, but I dont know if that will...

  20. New Grad LPN getting frustrated!!!

    Cardiacluv replied to FutureRN-GA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanx, but I definitely did not take the low paying jobs. I got a higher offer that I accepted. In 2012 I was making $16 as a CNA, so I am coming from a different place in terms of pay, but thank you...

  21. Feeling uneasy about first nursing job.

    Cardiacluv replied to Cardiacluv's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You are so right! Thanks

  22. Feeling uneasy about first nursing job.

    Cardiacluv replied to Cardiacluv's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you so much. I guess you're right! Having an RN there would probably only lessen the send outs by so much! I'm just used to working in hospitals where I can turn around and ask a physician, RN,...

  23. Feeling uneasy about first nursing job.

    Cardiacluv replied to Cardiacluv's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks, you didn't scare me. I like being realistic. I've worked in assisted livings as a CNA so I've encountered patients that shouldn't have been their from an acuity standpoint, but I didn't pay it...

    Cardiacluv replied to Cardiacluv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for your response. Yes I have already passed the NCLEX(on the first try) and obtained a few jobs, but I have just always wanted to hear follow-ups from those that have unfortunately had to take...

    Cardiacluv posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello AN, After reading so many posts about people who have failed the NCLEX numerous times, I am just curious to know if anyone has been in that situation and had success getting jobs. I would...
