Nursemiriben LPN, EMT-P

It sounds like they've found some sort of loophole but man is that snake-y!!! Anything over 40 hours at my work is work. Even if it's watching a DVD for continuing education for 4 hours. Ridiculous! !!

I'd be more worried about your inability to handle pressure. You'll be disrespected a million more times in your career by coworkers, bosses, patients, and their families. As a nurse you're in charge, you can't be immature enough to walk off. It depe...

I am a relatively new grad with 4 months working at an ltc. They have only been giving me 16 hour weeks even though I was offered a full time position; so I took a second job. They offered me a dollar an hour more, day shifts, and 42 hours after 3 w...

I extorted nothing. I actually had a better offer at my day job and they offered to give me that pay but less hours to stay. How is that extortion? Extortion is I have you on tape in bed with a patient so I want 1000 an hour. Geez. Update: still ther...

I don't think the pay structure is fantastic either. Frankly I have no idea why any rn's work there. They are not our supervisors and we technically don't "have" to have them there because it's non skilled nursing, just psych 60+ patients and one nur...

Job hunting now just to cya lol

Yeah corporate was in town and so many people were out we had one girl literally work 20 hours in a row before I agreed to come back. I imagined they'd have paid me 100 an hour to come back at the time. LPNs make 25, RNs make 27 and I'm the only one ...

My caregivers say foolish immature stuff like this all the time. I'm in a lock down as well. It's hard to find employees at that level with a good professional attitude. Now if someone actually hit someone heads would roll...but you hearing someone s...

Lpn, diploma, new grad. 2 jobs: charge nurse psych facility 24.50/ hr no differential double time OT. Skilled home care 25.50/hr 3.00 weeked/night differential +5 an hour for each patient added to monitor at once. Scottsdale, az

No offense but this is clearly a comment made in ignorance from someone who clearly has zero medical knowledge. Post on all nurses when you're taking classes, in clincals, have a license...

Or in skilled or rehab care....residents. .ugh!!!

You worked hard to be in the position to be a little demanding. If you don't love it I say leave it! Congrats on the move up the ladder!

Am I the only one that is only more than slightly suspicious about pocketing benadryl and not wasting narcs?!?

We got a goody bag with a gift card for dinner and cute nurse stuff like mugs, socks, a hoodie, a card that everyone signed and some snacks to keep in our locker! I really appreciated it! And I work for a fairly small company

Didn't read that way!

Lpn's are 12-14 months and MOST rn's are 4 years? My LPN was 18 months and the overwhelming majority of RN'S are 24 months, not 4 years. So saying we're undereducared and overpaid compared to RN'S is ridiculous. I hope the BSN'S are being paid quite ...

The fact that you worked multiple jobs in 3 months and seriously never came back to a job because you can't handle "rudeness" sounds like a YOU problem more than a NURSE problem. I've dealt with TONS of rude, I have psych patients that have hit (hard...

I don't have an issue with the content because I believe it's more about the ceremony and tradition than anything else. Definitely not a handmaiden to doctors. ..I work overnights snd haven't seen or spoken to one the entire time I've worked there.

My nerves are shot too....that you're asking the questions. Yikes. Prewrapped preinfected needles? I'm not sure what the panic is about

Wow. Just wow.

Unless it was criminal why would the BON be privy to that kind of information? They don't check your medical records....

Not as far as I know...I sure didnt!

I do wellness care for an insurance company. I follow charts, prior authorizations, medication compliance. There is a nursing job for you.

I've noticed lpn's are always in the middle of their rn, rn's trying to get their bsn, then masters, maybe practice, maybe teach. It's a versatile field but I really enjoyed the thought of what we can do to grow and enjoy where we're at!

Just the stuff you admit to doing was too long to read...I don't think anyone is singling you out
