Are you an RN or LPN? I found my job by accident, honestly. I signed up for alerts on Indeed.com, and it showed up there one day. I know our jobs (Lake County) appear on the School Board's web...

I am a school nurse in central FL (LPN). Our county uses both LPN's and RN's. RN's are usually the district nurses, overseeing a number of schools. The elementary school in my county uses LPN's at...

Yes, I do know..... Unfortunately it's still around today and can be hurtful... :) mc3

I've worked at my elementary school for 3+ years, and have UAP's cover for me if I'm out. It includes giving insulin and it's worked well for me. The UAP's attend a special medication training...

Umm, LPN's are "real nurses" too, remember? I'm an LPN School Nurse and proud of it! mc3:yes:

Yes, yes and yes!!!!! mc3:nurse:

That's so true about everyone running around like chickens with their heads cut off.....I really do believe that, at least for my school, that we all need to understand each other. Nobody, and I...

First of all, it's more than just "a few pesky people". It's people who swear at you, physically threaten you, scream at you, call you a liar to your face and more, all the while you are taking...

YES!!!! Mc3

OK, teachers. I would like to clarify a few things for you. #1. I cannot cure hiccups. Why are you sending the student to me? Ditto for a cut that happened a week ago at home, a sunburn from a...

I was once a hospice nurse. Lunch, if taken at all, was eaten while driving down the road from one SNF to another. Bathroom breaks? Charting until 10:00 at night.......Then management got the...

1. Stay away from the drama!!!!! Can't emphasize that enough................ 2. Even though your instructors may be the rudest people you've ever met, show them respect and do not, repeat do not,...

I graduated 10 years ago. We had caps, but mine never fit right - it felt like a box balancing on my head no matter how many bobby pins I put in it. I do like the look, but can see why it wouldn't...

I was totally surprised!!! I had a whole week of surprises!!! I got hand written thank you notes from the kindergarteners and 3rd graders. They are a riot!! I just love them. Then I got 2 sets of...

As my Mom would say, take one day (or hour or minute) at a time..make all your MD appointments this month. Most of all, be good to yourself. This too shall pass (another Mom saying!) (((Hugs)))...

Gee, thanks! :wavey: mc3:nurse:

22 for me! :roflmao: mc3:nurse:

Viva, What CP said...(so eloquent!) AND they are not worthy of you, not in the least. Here's a (((hug))) for you, you deserve better. Please, no more apologies, OK?? mc3:nurse:

Ummm, no. It wasn't OK. Further, she wasn't "disrespecting" you, she may have been disrespectful TO you. How come? Perhaps she was scared, in pain, wondering what the heck was wrong that she...

Don't know where you are in central fl but I haven't seen the situation you describe...county to county may be different. Starting pay is generally $14 to $16 per hour.. Mc3

Me too....I also have the temporal scanner, but I don't really like it...it reads on the higher side and I feel the tympanic is more accurate. I do use the temporal on the younger, special ed kids...

You absolutely did the right thing. In our school, only an RN or LPN can administer the Diastat, no UAP's. It's really the parent's fault for not bringing this to the school's attention sooner. ...

So, you take it upon yourself to "fix" the system, even though you have an MD order, just so people don't "take advantage of it"? At the expense of someone else's pain? Really???? mc3 :nurse:

And her understanding of pain and pain management..... mc3:cat:

Yes, thank you!!! mc3 :nurse:
