How do nurses who experienced caregiving or loss at a young age let those experiences shape the way they care for patients, and how do they stay emotionally strong without becoming overwhelmed? #Spring26
I’m 25 and pursuing a vocational program to become an LVN. My path into nursing was shaped by taking on caregiving responsibilities early in life and experiencing loss, which showed me how important compassionate care is. I’m interested in patient care and want to learn how nurses handle the emotional demands of the job while continuing to show up for their patients.
As an LVN going into an RN program, what is the best part time job to have?

What are some Nursing-related jobs LPN's or RN's can go into that aren't directly related to patient care?
I love caring for people but I have a lower stress tolerance than most and think being in a high stress working environment would not be a great choice for me. I however don't want to be bored/not stimulated mentally. #nurse #LPN #LVN #RN #RegisteredNurse #nursing #healthcare #medical

Where can LPN/LVN's work?
I am under the impression most LVN's work in long-term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and mostly with the elder population. Are there opportunities for LPN's to work with other client populations? Where (else) can LPN's work? #pediatrics #nurse #LPN #LVN #nursing
Is it a wise choice to go into the LVN/LPN program?
I am asking this because I am having a hard time finding a job as a medical assistant in my area. The thing is that I know that some places are wanting nurses to have their BSN.
