    Teacher to nurse

    luvschoolnursing replied to maggijo's topic in Nursing Career

    I've always been a nurse, but a few years ago I switched to school nursing. Just be aware that if you go from teaching to nursing, your hours are going to change drastically. I took quite a pay cut to...

    Lessons learned from the other side of the call light

    luvschoolnursing replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    When my dad was sick and dying from cancer, I learned that all the tests, education and skills in the world don't mean as much to a family and patient as kindness, respect and attention to daily...

    "The Jesus Factor"

    luvschoolnursing replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This verse was mentioned in church this morning: Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits...

    "The Jesus Factor"

    luvschoolnursing replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is a difficult situation Christians are in, knowing that the only way to heaven is through Jesus, and knowing that some of our patients aren't saved. That is why, as a Christian I try to live my...

    "The Jesus Factor"

    luvschoolnursing replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is perfectly ethical to talk to a patient about religion. As a Christian I not only think it is ethical but necessary. I have spoken to patients and have rarely been asked not no pray with...

    luvschoolnursing replied to crissrn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just my little opinion-I HATED being pregnant. I didn't sleep for months, except dozing in the recliner. My back hurt, I had heartburn. I'm amazed my dear husband put up with me. After having my...

    Would you want your children to go into nursing?

    luvschoolnursing replied to 2rntish's topic in General Nursing

    I never thought I would encourage my kids to go into nursing but even though my daughter would NEVER be a nurse, my son is considering it. He's only 13, so I'm encouraging him to explore different...

    LPN - School Nurses ???

    luvschoolnursing replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    In Pennsylvania you need a BSN + a school nurse certification to be a school nurse. When I worked with my diploma, I was considered a "nurses aid" LPN's fall in that category too. It's a great way for...

    Dressing up like 'Indians'

    luvschoolnursing replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I guess because I just don't get what is so offensive about dressing my daughter up as Disney's version of Pocohantas. Why is one race more offended than others. Someone with a caucasion background...

    Dressing up like 'Indians'

    luvschoolnursing replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why it is a big deal. My ethnicity would include Welsh, Italian, Russian, Czech and maybe a few others. If my kids wanted to dress up as "Braveheart" for Halloween, would it be a big...

    luvschoolnursing replied to ICRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    When my daughter was 2 years old, she was in a wedding. I asked for the day off and was "punished" by having to work 5 weekends in a row for it. Also, my manager couldn't understand why I also needed...

    I had to quit nursing

    luvschoolnursing replied to Stressednurse2007's topic in General Nursing

    Keep your license, but if you can afford it, take some time off and raise your babies. Maybe work 1 or 2 days a week just to keep your foot in the door. Going off your meds during pregnancy, while...

    Lesser Pay day shifh or higher pay night shift

    luvschoolnursing replied to anfe's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't stand night shift. My family couldn't stand me when I worked night shift. If you're not a night person, go for the days. The money's not worth it. Your body will thank you and so will your...

    Speaking as a dilpoma nurse who now has a BSN, I would say that most of my BSN classes were easy, irrelevant and basically useless compared to the excellent education I received from my diploma...
