  1. Not feeling worthy!

    OMG, I so get what you are saying about the politics. I was the 4th nurse this school had, in a 4 year span of time, and have lasted the longest. I have contacted a union steward but feel I am not being allowed a voice. I know I must move on and am ...
  2. Not feeling worthy!

    Thank you for the suggestions, it was very helpful. I work each day staying focused on the kids and smiling as much as possible. It helps very much knowing the insights of others!
  3. Not feeling worthy!

    I am hoping to get ideas on how to prove I do have worthy nursing skills so that I may move on. Sorry for the sob story, I didn't mean to do that. Thanks!
  4. Not feeling worthy!

  5. Can a LPN be a school nurse?

  9. I hate nursing

    I am a LVN and I remember when I trained for it I wasn't hating the field but was very afraid of being a nurse. I had always wanted to be a nurse but by the time I got to get into training one instructor I had made it scary. That was 15 years ago. I ...
  10. Kaiser Employees

    I understand Kaiser will continue the years of service that I once provided as part of their benefits package (a union benefit). That is, if I am lucky to return, I can work 2 more years and become a vested (5 year) employee. I know they are all unio...
  11. Kaiser Employees

    I worked for Kaiser here in So. Cal for 3 years and am planning on trying to return. I had an opportunity to work as a nurse at a elementary school but with all the changes in Calif's state budget, and schools getting cuts, my opportunities are runni...
