    Todd SPN replied to alatta58's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Todd SPN replied to alatta58's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Todd SPN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  11. Can a LPN be a school nurse?

    Todd SPN replied to therealnurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In my state you used to have to be an RN, but I have heard it has changed. Pay is low, but great bennies and retirement. I would call the HR director of a school district near you and ask. They should...

  16. RN Delegation

    Todd SPN replied to MQ Edna's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Our state rules are spelled out rather simple about what the RN needed to do in this regard. I remember as a caregiver I needed to take an 8/h class put on by the state before I could be delegated...

  17. Voluntary surrender of LPN license vs. suspension/revocation by Arkansas State Board

    Todd SPN replied to blue_butterfly87's topic in General Nursing
