WOW! Thank you all for your great responses! We have an online resource board parents and faculty can go on and choose their topics. I was thinking of doing a Nurses Corner or Nurses Notes. Thanks for all your ideas!

Do any of you school nurses write a newsletter or bulletin to the parents/faculty at your school? If so, what topics do you include? Thanks!

You are doing great. Nursing school is harder than most majors in college. I remember my friends getting easy A's in Creative Writing while I was killing myself in Chem and Microbiology, let alone these nursing classes where you have to memorize entire systems in a few days. Or when I missed one day of clinical when I had the flu and my instructor made me write a 10 page paper on Aortic Abdominal Aneurisms ugh!

Does anyone know any good refresher courses in Los Angeles and also IV Certification classes? Thanks!

Remember, the CA BON was closed friday and monday.

I decided to return to nursing after 15 years, and I let my license expire! i just took the NCLEX RN in California on Jan 4, and found out that I passed! i have been lucky enough to be working as one of the school nurses at a private school for the last year and I am so thrilled to be official. I also did camp nursing which is so fun and plan to do that this summer. The hardest part of all of this was finding the discipline and time to study for the NCLEX with 3 kids! I took one NCLEX class which really helped with the strategy and using the nursing process, Maslow, etc.... to answer the questions. The content was really up to me though and I had to really work hard. I found that reviewing the rationales for right and wrong answers really helped, Saunders and Kaplan CDs really helped. After the test though I would recommend Exam Cram and NUrsing MAde Incredibly easy, the questions were more similar. Also, the Prioritization book by LaCharity is a goldmine. Good luck to all of you returning to nursing, it's possible!

Yay! I found out I passed the NCLEX-RN!!! The trick definitely worked for me! Thanks to you all who answered my posts! :yelclap:
