   lawrence4656 replied to lawrence4656's topic in School

   Thank y'all for the replies. It is extremely frustrating, especially since I like her any other time and I get along great with all the other teachers. It did dawn on me today that I'm the first full time nurse they have had on this campus, that all ...

   lawrence4656 posted a topic in School

   How do you deal (tactfully) with overbearing teachers that butt in and try to do your job for you? I have been at this school for four years and I love my campus but throughout this time this one teacher has occasionally butted in and has tried to ru...

6. LVN/LPN Texas School Nurse Salary

   lawrence4656 replied to lvnschoolnurse's topic in School

   My job literally fell into my lap. I applied to the school district just on a whim while in between jobs and they had a school nurse quit like the next day. It helped tremendously that I attended that same school district and my bosses were my former...

7. Areas of Nursing

   lawrence4656 replied to rajm's topic in Canada

   I don't know, I guess I got lucky because I've never had to do any type of bedside nursing or med/surg. I've worked in surgery in the OR where I assisted with the surgeries and then went straight to school nursing. Other than the blood in surgery I h...

8. Doctor Anyone?

   lawrence4656 replied to Ant24's topic in Male Students

   My OB/GYN went that route. She was a nurse for years before she went back. I personally think it has made her a better doctor as far as the way she relates to her patients and her employees and other nurses. When I worked in surgery and there would b...

11. Nurse vs teacher, I choose NURSE!

    lawrence4656 replied to Kdrenee's topic in School

    I love my job for the family time I get. Summers and holidays off are pretty awesome. I love the few times that I do make a difference in a child's life but the job has become pretty frustrating to me. My office is used as a "dumping" ground to send ...

13. IM injection too high up?

    lawrence4656 posted a topic in Safety

    I've been a nurse for four years now and work as a school nurse. I do not give injections routinely there but have still done plenty of them that I felt comfortable enough to agree to help out a coworker. They got the depo provero shot from the pharm...
