    Diastat delegation

    CalNevaMimi replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    CalNevaMimi replied to Newnurse19882010's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You cared enough to ask for reassurance. I like that much better than a new nurse sweeping it under the rug and not asking questions. This is how we learn. Once I gave am IM to a prisoner -- my first...

    Crutches "Laying Around"

    CalNevaMimi posted a topic in School

    First thing this morning, I had a high school kid come in here and ask if I had any spare crutches laying around that he could borrow. I told him that the crutches need to be prescribed...and...

    LVN-RN 30 unit option CA should I go this route?

    CalNevaMimi replied to jason4546's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CalNevaMimi replied to nycNurse2b's topic in School

    Not everyone knows what LVN means, so I very carefully refer to myself as a school site nurse. I don't have the proper alphabits after my name, and bless those that do, because it's a huge difference...

    Excellent job. Here is another example that we do more than put on bandaids and give out ice packs. Hopefully your student will receive the help she needs, thanks to you. High five. Hope your weekend...
