Great Hospital Experience for Licensed Practical Nurses!
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN):
Pros: I like that I am assigned to the two medical surgical floors, but can float to ICU, Emergency Department, Cardiac Cath Lab, Labor and Delivery, and you name it!
Secondly, I love the people I work with.
Cons: There is no pay transparency. It seemed like all the new hires past a certain date did not receive a med/animosity extra pay per hour like the older hires. It caused a lot of aminosity for a few months. Then out of nowhere our manager told all the new people they would be getting the extra pay. Poor communication about pay. It got to the point where nurses were sharing what they made with one another to make sure they were not getting the bad end of the deal.

Helping to make the world a better place!
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN):
Pros: I love being able to interact with people from all walks of life and hearing their stories and history. Everyone has a story to tell but often we as HCPs don't have a chance to sit and listen.
Cons: Being short staffed and having to make tough decisions based on prioritizing one person's needs over another. I wish I could see everyone get the help they need when they need it.
October 2016
Lack of jobs for LPNs.
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN):
Pros: Helping people.
Cons: Poor wages.
October 2016
That the pay would been mor equal to what I left.
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN):
Be attentive to your patients medical needs, be a good advocate for them. Some times families think the know best and they don't and for this many times patients suffer. Educate both the patient and families where the can understand, educate the family to help their family member to get better and not to be enabling them because the patient wont make better progress for their goals set by the other teams. Be kind and compassionate, but be tough and stern. Give posititive re-enforcement.
Keep your work area neat and clean so you will be profecent with your job. You want to work smart not hard.
