    LVN license by endorsement California

    I hope this helps. I am a CA LVN and recently got endorsement to another state. I mailed the endorsement form on January 2 and they didn't process it until the middle of March. It took 10 weeks just for them to sign and mail the endorsement letter. I...

    Tell on yourself, if you dare...

    Not me, but I was involved. It was in nursing school. We were paired up to practice intradermal injections. My partner was nervous...and she proceeded to slide that sucker in...and OUT the other end, like a safety pin. A crowd gathered. She didn't re...

    C'Mon Now!

    Working the middle school health office today...boy, do I have an academy award winner in here at the moment. This kid came in complaining of a vague vision problem in only one corner of one eye...and it magically disappeared after talking to mom. No...

    I think a kid is pocketing pills?!?!

    I learned some things from working in a state prison. Look in the mouth to see the pill in there. Check the cup after to make sure it didn't end up in the cup. Check inside the mouth after...under the tongue, too. Watch the hands before and after. Ch...

    New School Nurse looking for liability advice

    Sounds like there needs to be a very specific written plan filled out and signed by parents AND doctor. I'd most likely still call 911 though. Angry parents are better to deal with than a non-responsive child. I'd have a O2 sat/HR monitor handy for s...

    ADHD just not understood

    Former teacher here. One of my required credential classes was "The Exceptional Student," including those with ADD/ADHD.

    Kids doing this on purpose?

    I'd make the kid call their parents so I could enjoy that conversation from afar. Sorry you're having a tough time with these guys. Doesn't it scare you a little to know that they are our future? Our little lovelies have been throwing raw eggs on eac...

    No Bathroom UGH

    The last time I worked in a health office with a restroom, it constantly smelled like poo, so I can't say I miss that.

    New Middle School Nurse!

    These ladies and gentlemen are the best resource I've ever had. I'd give each of them a running flying hug if I could!

    Bottle Up The Magic

    THIS is why it's not exactly a disappointment when my 1:1 student isn't at school...I get to be on AllNurses! Far, my word lately has been "Mt. Crapsuvious"

    When do you call home?

    Is it just me?

    Oh, the joys of school site nursing in December. Makes you want to sneak some flax seed in their Flaming Hot Cheetos.

    Why? Why? Why?

    I just shared the gummy bear story with a student who came in crying with an injured knee. She laughed and was able to walk out of here. Awesome! I love this site.
