  1. School Year 2015/2016: Who's in?

    I left school nursing 3 months ago to do hospice. I miss the kids and the hours but not the pay. Here in Florida I worked through the health dept. and the pay is terrible.
  2. I get criticized by mother for being an LPN, and not finishing the RN program. I am 52 and have had some injuries that stopped me in my educational goals. She tells people I am an Rn, it's like she can't be proud of me for going back to school later ...
  3. Hygiene Issue

    In my elementary school they send everything to the clinic. Teachers tell me that having an accident in their pants and every other issue even sometimes behavior is a medical issue, they do not want to be bothered with anything even the special ed te...
  4. May I please vent?

    Do you have a copy of your newsletter? I am always looking for things to put in a newsletter that may convey the message about keeping kids home when sick, otherwise they just wind up in the clinic anyway.
  5. Is this a common attendace policy?

    I work as a school nurse and I was written up for taking 3 days off for my sisters out of state funeral because it was during the school year. Not even I'm sorry for your loss from supervisors.
  6. A&P II with Micro...has anyone done it??

    My son is taking them both now and doing well.
  7. Reducing visits to the nurse

    I just had a student sent to me because his shoes were tied together in a knot. I guess you need a nursing degree not a teaching degree to get out a knot. **
  8. LPN... what are my chances?

    Yes it can be done at community clleges they have prep-math for people who do not do well in the math part of the cpt, when you pass that you can move onto the other math classes that you need. Speak with an advisor and don't give up you can do it.
  9. Asked 100X how to Quit immediately

    Give your notice asap, they may say you don't need to come back at all. I have seen many LTC facilities do this to people who want to quit.
  10. I just have to say this....

    That sounds great I want to work there.
  11. Drug seeking patients

    When I worked in LTC every time we called 911 the paramedics would act like we were idiots for calling them. They felt like if someone wasn't coding we were wasting their time. If in doubt send them out and if MD says send, well they have no reason t...
  12. Tufts nurses vote 70% to authorize strike

    I would not cross any picket line, Let the big wigs do patient care since they think it is so easy.
  13. Hold injection site with Lovenox?

    Yes the love handles is where it goes and only hold while injecting I have had several inservices for Lovenox.
  14. Bad Idea???

    A doctor at a facility I worked at was a nurse first and I think that made her a better doctor and she knew what the nurses went through. She was tough but fair.
  15. OMG! Why??!!

    I started off on 2nd shift right out of school in a rehab center it was NEVER slow; 2 med passes, treatments, sundowners and many admits. I never got out on time or had time for dinner. I moved to 1st shift which was also very busy but I got to spend...
