    bekind_andtrue posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

  2. Nursing day time

    bekind_andtrue replied to nsumrein's topic in General Nursing

    I live in FL so it may be different... but my sister-in-law got her first RN job as day shift in the ICU. She was probably somewhat lucky. However from what I've heard... nurses make an extra 6-7 per...

    bekind_andtrue replied to xhidex33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The LPN program I completed did not have any prerequisites. Our clinicals started the 2nd month of our program - we went to two different nursing homes and two different hospitals. While in the...

  4. Being called a baby nurse

    bekind_andtrue replied to NurseA1987's topic in General Nursing

    So technically you've been a nurse longer than her? I don't think you're reading too much into it. It sounds like she was definitely trying to take a jab at you for being an LPN first! What kind of...

  5. Applying for nursing programs at 30?

    bekind_andtrue replied to xhidex33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe try becoming an LPN first? That way you save yourself the time in case you realize nursing isn't for you. It's great because you dive right into the career and get a LOT of clinical experience...

  6. PRN pay difference for LPNs?

    bekind_andtrue posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have recently decided to quit my full time position and instead attempt to work a few jobs PRN so that I may create my own schedule. My question is -- how much should I be expecting to get paid? I...

    Ok guys. I'm a new nurse. LPN. Just graduated in May. Got my license June 30th. Started working at a Nursing Home & Rehab center in August. Been on my own now for a total of 5 days. This little...

  8. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    bekind_andtrue replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just an update for anyone who may read this or commented on this post?! Reading this over again (comments included) was very interesting. I worked at that SNF for four more months. The charge nurse...

    bekind_andtrue replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just want to say THANKYOU to everyone for all the input. Even those that think I'm dimwitted. I was on this website the entire time I was in nursing school.... even a couple months before I was even...

  11. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    bekind_andtrue replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  12. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    bekind_andtrue replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you all for the input. I knew I probably deserved the attitudes I was receiving. Both from my superiors and the nurses on here. Honestly I do not believe that I am prepared for this job. The...
