    Field LPN hospice nurse M-F 8-5 I schedule my patients based on how I want my day to look, the money is amazing, the autonomy of it. I’ve never worked in LTC. I’m so happy and stress free.

    4:12 this is the misconception a lot of LPNs have. Yes you can make more money than an RN, but how many hours are you working to make the money

      Hey guys, I just passed my Nclex last Tuesday, 8th October 2024, with a great help from Dr Luther on my first attempt, and all that I got on my test was what he provided me for review. I advise everyone preparing for the nclex to contact him for help and thank me later

    I just finished a LTC position. I am so happy I got my RN. I can look at Dialysis, Hospice, Wounds care nursing positions that pay well. I am so tired of LTC. The time spend on falls and looking for things on the unit is insane. All along with the med pass.

    I did LPN to BSN and still at my current job at a VA home It is a low stress job compared to the nursing homeI I worked in the hospital on the IMC floor as an LPN for low pay but didn’t mind it because I wanted the experience. I did just commit to a Psych NP program starting next year so now I’m looking for a prn job as a psych nurse. My goal is less stress, learning, while making more with less hours.

    As an LPN and RN, I only ever worked in long-term care in psych. Every time you talk about your hospital experience, I want to jump in so bad, but I graduate as a psych NP in a few months so I think I’m gonna just stick with what I am already doing.

    Now I'm realizing that I need to get my BSN if I want to have more opportunities to get away from bedside. Dang near all of the jobs I see that are case management, management (outside of LTC) and other non-bedside jobs want you to have a BSN.

    To be honest though, I was agency. When i tried to remain agency they said I would only get another dollar in LTCs. So i went ER. After my recent raises, it works out to 3 dollars less than agency.

    How long do you think you will work the bedside PRN? Ive thought about leaving M-F administrative/office/care coordinator and working every Sat/Sun at the bedside, bc I want to work less and still make decent $. Plus I’m just tired… but bedside comes with its own issues and stressors. My last bedside job was 2016. What are your thoughts?
