I think a great topic would be on the people that donate time in hospitals. What they do for the community. Most of them sit at the entrances assisting people on where to go, while others wheel patients out to cars while a person gets the car. Some of these people are called Candy Striper's due due their outfits. Many are young women wondering what a job in the future would be in the hospital while many seniors choose to donate to get out of the house to socialize. Just a thought. Good luck on your paper.

Hi Everyone,...sorry for the length. I am doing a career change at 52 as most of my life has seemed to lean towards healthcare. Actually Advocacy to which I chose to do unpaid. As I love the job, there are little out there and now I am literally sitting waiting for an employer to call me to tell me if I will have got a job all due to my advocacy work, only thing is, they require an LVN. Now, I am jazzed about this, but after reading up on this, I am wondering if this job will be for me. It isn't the norm LVN, it is just the place requires that all be one. Here is where I am seeking advice. I have 2 bad knees due to a head on accident. The only thing asked of me in my interview was could I lift 50 pounds to which they said I might need to do. As for anything else, it seemed pretty straight forward. I hear women my age questioning this position and now I am too after reading their comments here. For those who are an LVN, can you give a description of the level of work you do in a hospital or nursing home and tell me your average day. A big thank you in advance for those that respond.
